OL Tony Posada Names Final Four
Three-star OL Tony Posada (Tampa, FL) narrows his list to four, including Michigan:
I have narrowed it down to USF, Michigan, Missouri and Texas Tech," said Posada, who is 6-foot-5, 325 pounds and rated as the No. 33 OT in the country.

Do you guys see him moving inside? I do. If we do land him. Do we try to lock down another OT in this class?
would be enormous for an interior lineman.
look at what weight Q. Washington came in last year
6-5 is also starting to get a little tall for an interior lineman, especially if he grows at all.
look at steve schilling
I know. That's why I said "starting to". He is our tallest interior lineman after all.
He'd probably slim down a bit, but it's not unheard of to see 320lb guards.
I would think Posada would be groomed for right tackle and Fisher for left tackle.
No doubt Posada would be one of those guys, like Schilling or Omameh who could play either guard or tackle. It seems that the guys who can play both are usually better OG's than OT's.
It might come down to where we need him the most, and that will likely depend on how the rest of this class shakes out.
I agree but I am not sure of how many other tackles we are in on. Aundrey Walker is slight possibility. Do you know or anyone else know if he got an OSU offer yet?
Get ready for the "Hello Tony Posada" post!
I would hope he's a tackle...I'm still hoping for Walsh, Hobbi and/or Bryant on the inside
...thanks for the update.
I thought he was pretty much a lock for us.
We are obviously the class of Mr.Posada's list.
The only thing I fear is that he'll want to stay closer to home - USF.
Much like Kellen's family liked UM, it appear that Posada's likes USF....
share this fear. Well not really a fear, but if he chooses anywhere else besides us (assuming no FSU, or UF offer) it will be USF.
The prevailing thought is that he would go to FSU or UF if they offer. Therefore, maybe there is something he likes about those schools other than their prestige and winning traditions. Proximity to home very often is something that plays a factor in recruiting.
