Just noticed one of our Florida guys tweet this out:
Brady Hoke has an extremely talented H-back/TE committed to Michigan & he may not even know it yet. Details later.

Maybe it's Ferns? Perhaps Florida is recruiting him as an HBack/TE. It seems unlikely that there would be a new commitment that Michigan itself was unaware of.

The recruit? If it is, is he a Midwest kid?

I'm guessing it's Ferns, because he played that position this past year with his high school.

If it is, that's bad business/advertising.

I think Brady knows that Ferns is talented...no?

There's a good chance Brady realizes how talented Michael Ferns is.
I'm inclined to think if he was referring to Ferns, he would have said "Brady Hoke has an extremely talented H-Back/TE committed to Michigan in Michael Ferns & he may not even know it yet."
Plus, why would a guy who covers Florida kids make a tweet about an Ohio kid out of the blue?

Who knows. I think it is probably Ferns and he simply through out a kind of silly tweet. One reason I try to ignore Twitter.

I'm guessing he's saying that Ferns is more talented on offense and Hoke may not realize that?

Maybe, I just find it extremely odd that a Florida guy would tweet that out and say details later. Maybe he is writing a report on Michael Ferns?

100% certain it's not Ferns. I'll let Luke work on the article he's going to go with on it.

Since Stampini covers mostly the state of Florida, are there any H-back/TE that we have offered? Maybe Reilly Gibbons??

Maybe it is Poggi, then? It'll be interesting to see who it is.

Austin Roberts? He's been waiting on an offer from Michigan for some time now and there has been speculation that he'd commit on the spot if/when one comes through

Great guess. I thought Steve said he did not receive an offer and that it may be the summer before he was reevaluated.
But he was in Florida previously, so it makes a little more sense why a Florida reporter would have some info.

Where does this reporter cover? What counties? Does he cover outside the state?

It's says committed to Michigan.
Florida you say? It's obviously David Dawson.

It does say 'committed to Michigan'... the teaser did not say what sport.
