        I believe he went with his dad. Dad apparently had business down there and took Henry along. No reason to feel obligated in any way.

        Sam Webb continues to say he hasn't heard anything. In fact he can't even confirm there was a visit.

        • He went with a friend who is being recruited by Saban.

          And Saban (or any college coach) would never allow someone to come on an official visit, especially the stature of Poggi, .. without giving him the sales pitch. Dad with him or not ....

          • hasn't flipped yet. Most likely time would have been during that weekend.

            • I agree. I don't think he's going to flip, but I still believe that Saban gave him the sales pitch while he was in town.

              • SI article on Brady Hoke, Michigan, and recruiting:

                • Class of '13 is likely finished, Poggi is important but not overly critical to keep in this class. He'd be a big loss... With a hard limit of 28 in the B10, M has just one scholarship it could offer; they might land a last minute addition to the class like they did with Norfleet last year... Regardless, it's an excellent class (much needed imo after '10/'11) and improves the talent on the roster dramatically even if it's a couple years before the '12/'13 classes really make a significant impact on the field...

                  I'll be ready to look at '14 recruits more closely just after signing day and update the '14 recruiting board accordingly.

                  • MGoBlog, latest on Poggi.

                    Speaking of Poggi, multiple outlets have confirmed that he did visit Alabama last weekend, and the Tide are actively recruiting him. While the exact nature of the visit is unclear—some say it was a visit to a friend on the team while others say that he took an official, and the Poggis are staying quiet—the general sense from insiders is that he'll still end up at Michigan in the end.

                    • I love how "Insiders" are believed to know the thoughts of a high school kid and his family.

                      • Denzel Ward is apparently gone for good. Michigan has dumped him.

                        This whole routine of getting butthurt over a guy reconsidering his commitment needs to stop.

                        • David Dawson is in the fold now, though. I don't think it's so cut/clear.

                          • ..... True. I can see the benefit of a tough approach to these kids but only in the current f'ed up system that the NCAA has fashioned with their unreasonable and antiquated recruiting rules.

                            As long as the current system allows kids (mostly handlers in the case of the top recruits) screw with coaches, I'm perfectly ok with the approach Hoke appears to be taking.

                            It's probably accurate though to have reasonable concerns with Hokes tough approach given the SEC's built in recruiting advantages. Personally, I have no problem with it.
                            Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                            • It's not just his though. We've seen several other examples of coaches demanding the same -- if you are a solid commit here, you're not visiting there.

                              • If Urban Meyer had the same approach, Brionte Dunn would be a Wolverine. You've got to be tolerant of a 17 year old not knowing for sure where he wants to go to college.
