UA just received a commitment from him today out of nowhere. Could Florida guys tell us anything about him? He's listed at 6-4 285 on here.

Well he's too tall to be a tailback.
Looks like another perfect day.

Never heard of the kid but I'm assuming that if Saban took a commitment from him that he's decent enough. Yeah never heard of him before though just as you so don't take it as a slight.

solid player..just off the radar but his recruitment was about the pick up. UT,UF and Aub visited over the last week or so. Reminds me of Dante Phillips last cycle. Was hoping UF could swing him. Good p/u imo.

He likes us but I'm not sure where we stand with him. some people on Bol suggested he would commit to us soon so tifwiw. I know he could play at three different positions for us TE DL or OL

OL and TE really? I know Michigan wants him specifically for the DL for the 3 tech and/or 5 tech.

It seems Poggi is essentially a very,very heavy lean (I don't want to use the word lock because we are talking 18 yo kids), but depending on how other positions in the class pan out, we might take one or two more.

Yeah. Michigan looked good for Poggi early but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore unfortunately.

Considering his recent offers and visits and a senior season and camps,I wouldn't be surprised if he moved up in rankings.
But yea, since he's Bama he deserves to be 5* IYAM IMNSHO

In a article not to long ago it came off as if him and Cyrus Jones (former teammate and Bama signee) are good friends so that is helping us.

No UF offer yet, but he was asked to come camp. Good looking player with lots of upside. DT rankings, like OL rankings, are a crap shoot, especially when you're talking the difference in high three stars compared to four stars..
It's about size, frame, athletic ability and upside. Lots of guys are underrated because they're raw and haven't gotten good coaching yet. While other higher rated guys have better technique, but less upside or are closer to being fully developed already. This one will obviously get good coaching and development at Bama. Main thing I'm looking at in a DT or OL is size, frame, and motor. The rest can be coached.
