UM Football Recruiting - by WM Wolverine

[lineygoblue]

Jeff: I think the signing period runs until the first part of April. IIRC.

As far as "Alabama is offering his dad a job" rumor, I think its rubbish. This was discussed over at Rivals, and more and more its sounding like the Poggi family is just ticked off because of all the speculation. They told everyone that Poggi was coming to Michigan, and he's actually helped in recruiting other kids to Michigan. Now, they seem to be upset that his commitment is being questioned. So the new speculation is that they've just decided to clam up until signing day, and do their talking when he sends in the LOI.

Again, just speculation. But, he hasn't flipped so far.

Shows how much you know.

The house that they've been given is in Saline.

There goes the neighborhood !

A little less mono may have helped.

Caught from a dirty smart phone screen, no doubt.

Schembechler Hall will send TXT messages as LOIs arrive.

Sam Webb believes Poggi is Blue and offers an interesting reason. Poggi might be on the radio with him tomorrow. Check out the Recruiting Roundup:

I see that MSU has only 3 kids from Michigan in their 2013 class. Has anyone heard a "Dantonio has turned his back on players from Michigan" or a "Wolverines own the state" meme coming from any State fans?

[WM Wolverine]

No they just claim they are recruiting 'nationally'.

[WM Wolverine]

Poggi is a Wolverine still.

Great idea posting that, OP!

I didn't think of doing so myself when I got a text from the U of M Athletic Dept. to sign up for it.

I'll have my smartphone within arms length all day tomorrow waiting for those texts from Diamond Dave Brandon!

[lineygoblue]

Text has been sent.

Finally a word from Poggi:

Baltimore (Md.) Gilman School's Henry Poggi has kept people in limbo since taking a recent visit to Alabama. The Michigan pledge, Rivals.com's No. 70 player nationally and No. 5 defensive tackle, ended the suspense Tuesday night via twitter.

"Just threw a pair of these fresh pajamas on before bed, hoping that will put some of this speculation to rest. #GoBlue," Poggi tweeted.

I'll be away from the internet, so no signing day news relayed from me... re: '14 recruiting board, I'll update as soon as I get word on which of the QB's M offers TODAY, they are deciding between Cornwell, Henderson & O'Conner...

Cornwell, O'Conner are potential 5-star types. Early rankings have Henderson rated lower. Conner has spoke highly of M, believe he might be the Canadian that transferred to Florida to play against top competition... Other than the QB's, I'd probably only add 3-4 names and take away maybe 1 from my last '14 recruiting board.

No they just claim they are recruiting 'nationally'.

Funny how it's different now. When Rodriguez was offering 3-star kids from Ohio and other states, and getting fewer players in-state, the meme was that he turned his back on the local kids and the state belonged to Sparty.

Derrick Green's LOI arrives.
