Commitment Watch: According to Dymonte Thomas [Edit: No commitment from Green]
According to Dymonte Thomas on Twitter
He is about to commit! :)
He doesn't specify who, but with all the talk that has been going around Derrick Green, I feel like it has to be him.
Note: I thought this big enough to warrent it's own thread, but if the mods disagree feel free to take it down
Edit: From Sarah Hughes
My text to recruit @ the BBQ: "Is it about to go down?" His reply: "DG? Definitely." #team134
MOAR EDITS:
According to tremendous
Tremendous I've been told that there's a better chance of him committing than not committing today. Him obviously being Derrick Green.
and
60% is the # [%] was given. Take it FWIW
Then according to Mark from Tremendous
60=100
Take it as you want, but its a good sign.\
One more for good measure, from a 'major site'
Another "idk yet" from Derrick Green when asked if he will commit to#Michigan before he leaves. That often means yes but we'll see.
Last edit (@BrOoKyLn_boii27 is Derrick Green's twitter):
From @BrOoKyLn_boii27: "I didn't commit
Most of us are big fans. I'm an espeically big fan, which is why that exact gif was posted earlier in the thread. That's why you were getting negged, but don't sweat it...
FARRELL, no = old friend........Wow, I give up.
You have to switch it to plaintext, Rmilkman
Edit: you beat me to it.
So hypothetically, if he commits, who do you guys think gets redshirted between Shallman, Smith, and Green? All three backs are widely regarded as bruising tackle-busters rather than burners. I know people are probably going to assume that Shallman is destined for FB, but he's claimed that he is strictly being recruited at the RB position, which makes this class absolutely loaded with talent in the backfield. Which potential option are you guys most excited about?
your negative point total is astonishing
Check back in a decade and I'll probably have caught up to you :)
Whichever option is at least 9 on the Mohs scale.
And I will also return to this thread in a decade to upvote you, sir.
I have heard from a very reliable source that he may or may not commit today.
Oh yeah? Did Farrell tell you that? Yeah well, I'll believe it when I see it.
If someone could name every in this picture.
Also creeped out.
(DISCLAIMER: these kids are only 3-4 years younger than myself, so the creepiness factor isn't completely toned up by knowing faces.)
I don;t know all, just some that stick out.
Back Row: Khalid, Dymonte, Douglass?, Green?, Lewis, #8 looks like Dukes, Bosch, Ferns #23, LTT, Fox.
Front Row: Dawson, MM, Wyatt, Channing?, Taco in front, no clue who 56 is, BUTT.
I don't recognize all of them and put question marks on the ones I wasn't positive about.
Also, did Devon Allen make it in?
#23 is Ben Gedeon
It looks to be all of the 2013 commits at the BBQ plus green, don't know if thats a clue or not!
Back Row: #32 Khalid Hill, #14 Dymonte Thomas, #6 Ross Douglas, #27 Derrick Green, #2 Jourdan Lewis, Channing Stribling, #5 ???, #8 Jaron Dukes, Kyle Bosch, #23 Ben Gedeon, LTT, Chris Fox.
Front Row: #55 David Dawson, #9 Mike McCray, #17 Wyatt Shallman, #33 Taco Charlton, #4 Deveon Smith, #56 Scott Sypniewski, #24 Jake Butt.
Corrected/added names in bold. Can anyone identify player in near center of back row in jersey #5?
I'm pretty sure #23 is Ben Gedeon
That's a good lookin class. Gedeon not Ferns though.
Dymonte Thomas looks bigger than reported. That's good.
new away jerseys? Looks like we got rid of the yellow side from the non-techfit jerseys but kept the piping.
Notice the new Big 10 logos on all the uniforms.
I see what you did there. Also, awesome.
Maybe he's talking to Coach Hoke now?
/wishful thinking
Or could he be that half a face in the back behind #5?
Green is behind McCray with the hat on. It's a done deal!
If you clicked on the enlarged version you can even see what looks like 27 on the jersey, his high school number.
Oh NO! And Shane is missing too!
Who is #5 in the center of the photo?
I think Adidas has finally gotten it right. with the latest round of jerseys that the recruits are wearing. Look normal, fit normal.
Oh yeah and that whole top recruiting class wearing a bunch of Michigan jerseys thing. That's pretty cool too.
I just watched his video for the first time, and I'm not so sure what all the hype is about. He's a good player, but I think Scout is probably more accurate than Rivals at ranking him.
Isn't that...good?
Like I said, he's a good player. Just closer to #7 than #1.
Rivals likes to rank on NFL potential. And this kid basically already has an NFL body. He may not be the best RB in the country right now, but he very well could be in a couple years.
Nothing too flashy. However, he is not a speed or elusive Reggie Bush type back like Ty Isaac. He is a thumper like Ingram and Richardson and in a power offense these guys are extremely productive. While I am not buying that he has 4.3 speed, he seems to hit the holes fast and is very decisive. I will take a 4*/5* top 100 back any day.
Ty Isaac is 6'-3" and not quite labeled an elusive Reggie Bush type back.
Crap, that's not what I wanted to hear. Could someone please notify the coaches of the following schools that aaamichfan doesn't know what the hype is about?:
Alabama
Auburn
Clemson
Georgia
Miami (FL)
Michigan
Mississippi
Ohio State (you know, kind of)
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Oregon
Pittsburgh
Tennessee
Virginia Tech
Arkansas
Boston College
Georgia Tech
Illinois
Mississippi State
North Carolina
NC State
Penn State
Purdue
Rutgers
South Carolina
UCLA
USC
Vanderbilt
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Thank god he has that Rutgers offer.
No MSU offer? What did we get ourselves into by offering this kid? jj
