  • If this is true, it would be a really crappy thing for a high school football coach to do, i.e., waiting until the end of January to have his kid visit and decommit. Why say good news for Ohio State? Seems odd to me. Is dad known to be a bit of a jerk?

    • Makes you think he's either just an asshole or Michigan has pissed them off in some way.

      • Could be a Chris Spielman situation. Kid wants to go to Michigan and dad says, "No, you're going where I want you to go."

        • I wonder what BiffPoggy's perception of the difference b/t B10 and SEC recruiting is. I would have liked him to elaborate, which another poster asked him to do.

          I don't think any of us on the outside have a real picture about how dirty and competitive recruiting of talented HS players probably is. At least I don't until I see it raw. The dirty dealing we do become informed about is likely the tip of the iceberg.

          I doubt that it is just money but I suspect that plays a major role in recruiting top talent. Unless a parent is really interested in teaching his kid that getting a college degree is a big deal, education is probably pretty low down on the list of things recruits and their handlers are attracted and respond to.

          Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. JH chased Saban from Alabama and caused Day, at the point of the OSU AD's gun, to make major changes to his staff just to beat Michigan. Love it. It's Moore!!!! time

          • If he's taking an official to Alabama, and he did it on the sly, I assume he's gone instantly for good ala Pharoh Brown.

            • Could Poggi's dad be referring to Derrick Green? Maybe M lost him and he heard about it.

              • Doubt it. Sam Webb is in Richmond, VA today. He probably wouldn't be their unless he knew Green was Blue.

                As far as Biff Poggi's Twitter account...maybe we're being Teo'd. Sounds like a Schmuck fan rather than a respected high school football coach.

                  Here's something I got off MGoBlog. Sure glad when it's over...

                  "I live just south of Richmond, VA and have a buddy who is a coach at Hermitage High. According to him (and he has been in constant contact with Derrick) Derrick really likes Michigan and Tennessee, but he is not a fan of Ann Arbor. Knoxville won him over when it comes to where he would want to live for 4 years. Also, he connected better with Jay Graham than any of the other RB coaches. So, as of right now, it?s Tennessee. However, we all know how these things can change." -Some commenter on SBNation

                    https://twitter.com/BiffPoggi

                    That account looks pretty bogus to me, if you read the other tweets. Either that or pops isn't too bright.

                            • Does this mean we have to say "Go Green"? lol

                              Welcome to Michigan, Derrick Green. You made the right choice.
