UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[lineygoblue]

Michigan is addressing needs with the best talent available. This will pay off in the near future. It would be nice to add Poggi.

[Pasadena Blue]

I thought Poggi was leaning to Satan?

[WM Wolverine]

Unbiased insiders (plural) are very, very confident he's blue. I'd guess they are basing this on Maurice Hurst's Jr's tweet that another commit is coming. I had him pegged as a coin flip between Bama and M till a day ago.

I still think Poggi is Saban-bait

Reading his comments on Rivals, I just get the feeling that he's a bit more enamored with the idea of playing for Saban and the Tide. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[The Oracle]

Wager.

[lineygoblue]

What's your pleasure?

[WM Wolverine]

He's a Wolverine. M's DL is in good shape for a long time; Pipkens, Wormley, Strobel, Ojemudia, Charlton, Godin, Henry, Poggi, Hurst is exceptional in back-to-back classes.

I like your optimism, WM. But, I also heard that Isaac was a M "lock" as well, but then he visited USC and ...

I guess maybe I'm a bit jaded when it comes to recruiting nowadays. I'll believe Poggi is coming to Michigan when he says it himself.

... and a signed LOI would be nice too, but we have to wait until February for that.

Not that I felt like last year's head-to-head losses near NSD were really significant, but it sure is nice to win this one.

[lineygoblue]

Well now ... maybe my "jadedness" needs to be re-evaluated ... heh

[Tslisher]

Wow, I really thought we had lost out on him to the Tide. Hoke continues to impress on the recruiting trail. Think this cements the #1 recruiting class?

I wonder why the delay in announcing, as this was obviously known for at least a few days now...

[whodean]

Good get, I guess M is down to the RB and WR as needs in this class.

We've got quotes from Poggi himself now, liney. I was optimistic yesterday, he's committed now.
