OT Tony Posada to Decide This Week
Just following up on a thread I posted earlier...it looks like tackle Tony Posada will announce where he's committing later this week, according to Gainesville Sun writer Ed Aschoff.
That's a very favorable timeframe for Michigan, who is considered a strong leader for him in lieu of a Florida offer, which appears to not have materialized for Tony.
Great get for the class if he goes Blue.
UPDATE: Shoot, fellas, I might have spoke too soon. Scout.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst Chad Simmons says the press conference was just a rumor and that nothing official has been announced yet. The waiting continues.
Hello Tony Posada please.
How much grief will you get over the confusion of OT vs OT-?
ha, good call, hadn't even considered it. so far so good.
This is not off topic, asshole!!!!!
...he could have done a TO like this...
Good to hear. thanks for the info
That is great news as long as he goes blue. It would be great to get him and Bryant!
Add in Jordan Walsh and Zettel and I think we would have quite the pull for our class of lineman.
I have read differing opinions on whether he is a Tackle or Guard. Anyone with better insight than me on where he fits best or where the staff sees him?
That's a good question, I've heard OG more than OT, but he's 6'6" and most of the other guys we're high on are all interior guys (unless you consider Bryant a tackle, but he could go either way as well). Some of these guys, Bryant and Posada especially, might be told they could play either spot, and where their bodies are at and what our depth chart looks like in two years will determine where they go.
Bring in the talent and let the position shake itself out.
My guess is he will anounce for U of M. Florida never offered and they took an OT commit last friday from a kid that was rated higher.
i made this prediction on friday but did't feel the need to start a thread.

Florida's loss is our gain. Once Barwis gets ahold of this kid, he will be better. Tony has a frame that you can build upon, and moves well. Im excited for our chances.
I saw that a recruit, from Delaware, verbaled to UF last week. Is that to which you are referring?
I had a link on the original comment, where the link would have taken you.
Here it is again,

Per Rivals OG #11
This isn't off-topic.
Are we recruiting him to play Left Topic, Right Topic or Nose Topic?
It is On Topic and he is an Offensive Tackle though.
My bad.
clears up for me why I thought all those random threads that had nothing to do with Michigan or Michigan Football had Offensive Tackle in front of them.
He's a michigan recruit... his announcement date is not OT
Tony Posada (OT)
We are looking good in this class in regards to offensive linemen.
We needed to be, so it's good to see quantity and quality of guys we're attracting. Should be a good OL pull.
I find your username distasteful.
over and under how many people comment about 'OT'?
Yeah, Posada would be a great get...the OL is nicely shaping up. Bryant, Zettel, couple of these others, and it could be awesome.
It's looking more and more like Zettel will be on the defensive side of the ball, and the more OG's we're high on, the more I'm OK with that.
Does anyone else see Chris Rock or Zettel move inside if they both commit (and Zettel plays D)? We have no DT commits thus far, and we brought in 3 DE's last year, a couple of them pretty highly rated.
OL recruiting has been rolling this year. Hobbi, Fisher, Walsh, Miller, Zettel, Posada, Bryant, and more we are in good positions with. I am also thinking with a good season I think we will have this year, would even more higher rated linemen want to come here!
Per Rivals he announces Aug. 10th or 11th
Now this is good info. Starting a thread to say that a QB threw a nice pass at a football camp is ludicrous.
...shouldn't you have said that here?
What's next bowel movements? You are an excellent poster on this blog, far better than me, but I don't think some of this stuff is worthy of its own thread, that's all. Other than my minor anal quibble, keep up the good work.
...I guess, but if you want to take a shot at me, it's probably better to do it in real time and in the thread in question.
I'm looking forward to reading your posts on topics that meet your own standard.
I am taking a shot at the idea not you, I didn't even realize you were the author in the thread about D Hart until after I posted, I know you by your avatar not your name.
Again, nothing personal against you, just a difference of opinion, I like and agree with the vast majority of what you contribute.
Come on now everyone play nice before someone starts crying
Shut up or I will neg you and then where will you be.
Not part of the click, take great pride in that.
will anounce in about 3 weeks... around 8/10 or 8/11 with his QB Phillip Ely.
It is between Texas Tech, Missouri, USF and Michigan. He also liked Florida and Florida State but neither one offered. Not sure what would happen if either one did offer him before his announcement.
