2 for Tuesday: Michigan Gets a Cincinnati LineBacker in the 2011 Class

Breaking News: Michigan lands another commit tonight in 4 star LB from Winton Woods outside of Cincinnati in Antonio Poole.  He just announced during halftime at the Winton Woods basketball game. 

Poole is 6'1 and 225 pound outside LB and ranked the 13th OLB in the nation to Scouts. He had just been down to Miami, FL last weekend and was considering new offers from Pitt and Michigan.  He decided last night when Greg Mattison visited him at home to become a Wolverine.  Antonio had a nice offer list which include Michigan State, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Louisville, Kansas, Kentucky and others.  Nebraska and Miami were showing interest. 

As we all know, LB play has been a problem for Michigan for the last 3 years and with these new group of athletes lets hope that problem will soon be over.  Antonio is expected to be in A2 this weekend for his official visit.  The former Michigan staff was recruiting him but he didn't receive his Michigan offer until recently.
