Auburn Site Claims Derrick Green Is An Auburn Lean
https://twitter.com/eagledamnwar/status/288876247549890560
Apparently there is a lot of talk on Auburn message boards by their mods that Derrick Green is an Auburn lean. That apparently makes a great deal of sense to them right now. A day after he says Michigan is leading and Coach Hoke is his favorite coach, he then says he knows where he is going. If that doesn't sound like an Auburn lean, I don't know what does.
They obviously are in the Garrison Keillor school of "looking reality straight in the eye and denying it".

It makes no sense
It makes no sense
Mike Farrell, who is the insider closest to Derrick Green, says that Auburn is a distant third behind Michigan and Tennessee. To put it in terms Auburn fans will understand, this is hogwash.

I think Florida St. will end up being a bigger issue than UT or Auburn will be in the end. FSU always seems to do well in the home stretch to signing day.

Why FSU?
Why FSU?
I haven't seen one interview where he even lists FSU in his top five. Miami yes, FSU no.
I will fucking cunt punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don't give a fuck if you SOR me, I WILL FUCKING ASSAULT YOU.

Farrell seems to reiterate his point again today, saying Michigan is on top and it's tough to see anyone else getting him.

It makes sense that he knew because they only speak with Farrell because Rivals has him ranked so high.

I think it's the other way around - they rank him so high because he speaks with Farrell so much.
It's the same reason that Levenberry is/was ranked so high by Rivals but everyone else thinks he's just pretty good.

Until signing day or he has signed, I won't believe anything! I don't know how to feel on this one, something is keeping him from just coming out with it. I can say it makes me a wee nervous about the situation.

I'm not worried, at all. Auburn might find a booster or two to come to the table to pursuade the kid - but I would be shocked if he took it and committed there. He has a good family, the BEST work ethic among the top recruits, and thus a good head on his shoulders. He knows it is about "the next 40 years, not just the next 4".
I mean.. you referenced twitter for crying out loud.

Reminds me of Jordan Diamond
Reminds me of Jordan Diamond
The only thread I have ever created on this site was to relay that Jordan Diamond had eliminated Auburn and was down to M and Arkansas. That info came from a Brian Cook approved source who was helping Diamond personally with his recruiting. Turns out Diamond surprised everyone, including my source, and committed to Auburn days later. IIRC they also surprised by getting Kozan who was an M lean. These things happen.

We all (those participating in this thread) enjoy recruiting, that's why we're here, obviously. It's just that recruiting may be the least predictable thing on earth and to say anything with confidence is foolish. Recruits say all the right things to appease fan bases and then make decisions that may seem 180 degrees from what they've been saying publicly. Just trying tohelp maintain your sanity in the event that Green makes what we'll all describe as an incomprehensible decision.

"following
"following
Michigan recruiting" at least qualifies as an activity.
A man with a wife and 3 kids (and I'm speaking from experience) gets little "me" time. If one chooses to use that little time to follow UM recruiting I will not judge.
January 9th, 2013 at 11:18 AM |
Yep
Yep
My children and wife know my compulsion (addiction?) for following Michigan sports. At least they tolerate it. It is free (relatively) and while they would prefer I do something else, it is one little sliver of life I choose for myself. Thankfully.

I mean it's perfectly
I mean it's perfectly possible that he goes to Auburn. But I've got to think that the Auburn info is off considering all the very recent positive comments about UM, and the fact that he stated multiple times UM is the leader and he knows where he's going. Plus he wouldn't want to crush the little kids dreams whose flag he signed with the other UM commits at the AA game, would he?

In this twitter account they added a blue "verification" check mark to the background to make themselves look official. Who ever runs this twitter account must be one sad/messed up individual.
And to think Green would choose Auburn is ridiculous. He had said that he does no want to play in a spread and nobody seems to be talking about Auburn as much as Michigan and Tenn.
