Is it just a visit or are you fully committing? I think Burger King might be a better fit. If McDonalds is running a deal do you decommit from Taco Bell and look elsewhere?

Honestly, if I were his age,

Honestly, if I were his age, I think I'd be doing exactly what he's doing.  Michigan isn't recruiting any other RBs, so there's no reason to rush the announcement.  In the meantime, why not take the opportunity to see other schools?  It's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. 

Most importantly, though, if those SEC recruiting trips are anything like what I imagine, there are some Southern belles in Green's near future.

He's not in a bad spot right now.

Please, let there be SEC Southern Belle Recruiting

Please, let there be SEC Southern Belle Recruiting. His family doesn't roll that way, and that would seal the deal for Michigan. From the ESPN article:

As for a social life, don't expect to see Green at a night club. Aside from the occasional school-sponsored dance, it's all faith, family and football. Going out and partying doesn't fit the plan.

"He doesn't have an interest in those types of things," Fran Green said. "With the football team, he's making sure they stay out of trouble. He's a positive leader and motivator in that way."

Getting Green would be big for getting Reuben Foster since they are friends.

BALTIMORE -- Two years ago,

BALTIMORE -- Two years ago, Derrick Green looked nothing like an invitee to The Opening. As a matter of fact, he didn't even look like a tailback.

Green, who now is 6-foot and 215 pounds, was once a 5-8, 268-pound offensive lineman. Suffice to say, Green, a running back from Richmond (Va.) Heritage who ranks as the nation's No. 83 player, worked hard secure his ticket to The Opening.

"I was always downhill," he said. "If you look at my film, I'm not really a bounce guy. I'm a one-cut-and-go, real straight, north-south runner and I have the speed to kick it up in sixth gear. All that bouncing and shaking, I wouldn't say that was me. If you're in the way, I'm going to blow you up. I'm not going to try to shake you.

"At my school, they call me 'The Freight Train.' I like that a lot. I'm going to run you over and let you know I'm here. I'm coming."

Green and his family said he has consistently run the 40-yard dash in the 4.3 area.

When Derrick read on a website that he didn't catch the ball well, father and son were outside working on pass-receiving for hours after work and school.

"He wanted to get better, so we had to take the time to get him better," Chris Green said. "The next camp he went to, they were saying he had hands good enough to play wide receiver. He accomplished that. He got over that hurdle."

Derrick led his family to better health, and he's also trying to inspire his teammates. He used to be the only player to run laps after practice. Now most of the team is joining him. When he gets his allowance, it's already spent. He buys food -- probably salad -- for the team on Wednesday evenings while they study game video. He takes his offensive linemen to Golden Corral if the team wins on Friday night.

Good article on Derrick. You can read it all here: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/7923008...

Is this website referenced by the Green family TTB? One could agrue that if he spent hours working on a perceived weaknesses in his offtime TTB is actually improving our recruiting classes.

Seriously, just to put to rest some of the nonsense about that, part of me wants him to choose Michigan on Signing Day (HOKE CAN'T CLOSE LATE) by picking a Michigan hat instead of an Auburn hat (HOKE CAN'T WIN HEAD-TO-HEAD BATTLES) and then remind the country that running back is in fact a SKILL POSITION.

Green & his family said he's consistently run a 4.3-area 40

I'll give that 3 fakes out of 5.

Rivals lists him as running a 4.4, while Scout lists one of his weaknesses as "breakaway speed", saying "not a conventional breakaway threat because of raw speed..."

I would give that 5 fakes out of 5, that is Denard speed... Green looks to me around a 4.5 guy, which is still fast for someone his size.

 in the 2nd half of the army game, Green ran a toss sweep on a 4th and 2. I'll say this he looked plenty fast to me. Not that there is much difference between a 4.3 40 and a 4.4.

The few times that he does

The few times that he does really break away, he does seem to have decent speed for such a big guy (and certainly faster than Deveon Smith).  4.3ish speed?  Eh, I don't see it unless the competition he plays against is so good that they can just make him look slower by comparison.  However, he does have very good acceleration.  Once he sees an opening, he gets up to top speed very quickly to me.  He can make a move in traffic as well, but he doesn't make the open field Reggie Bush type cuts that you often see out of top flight RB recruits.  He tends to just head straight up field.  His running style does seem very mature.  Overall, I'd be increadibly pleased with him at UM.  I do think he is the most complete and explosive back we would have on our roster, not to mention a completely college ready body.

I somewhat agree, which is

I somewhat agree, which is why I'm not as high on him as others.  I don't think he's the type of guy who can carry a team on his back without a good offensive line.  There are guys who can create on their own because of their speed, vision, and cutting ability, and he's not one of them.  It sort of confuses me why Rivals thinks he's the #1 back in the country.

HOWEVER, I do think that if he committed somewhere like Alabama, Michigan (with the line it's building), or Wisconsin (with the way they've blocked in recent years), he could have a very good career like Montee Ball.  

Is he the most talented pure running back in the nation?  Not in my opinion, because there are several guys I'd put above him.  Could he end up having the best college career?  Possibly, if he chooses the right school.

The carry the team on his back reference reminded me of this.  I'm not going to embed it because some users probably wouldn't appreciate the language in it, but I think it's hilarious.

Marshawn Lynch puts the team on his back

Agree. He strikes me as a back like

Lacy for Bama - very solid player who can leverage a good line. Strong, relatively fast, single cut, some wear on the D after 15+ carries.

Ultimately, we need a Hurd or Mixon to complement a Green and fully stress the D.

I like Ty Isaac, but the blocking was terrible in the Under Armour game.  The offensive line was much better in the Army Bowl.  Plus the production of the UA game was so terrible that it made it even more difficult to get a gauge on Isaac.
