Derrick Green knows where he's going.

What if Taco Bell were giving away free chalupas tomorrow?  Might that change your mind?

We already have tacos. What if we got Ruebans too.

?

Lets hope your right

I don't like Balas, either, but the words came straight out of Green's mouth.  It's hard to mess that up.

Reuben Foster

Cameron Hunt, perhaps?

NT

greedy ass mofos be happy with just a single top RB.

Thanks. Can anyone say autocorrect makes a joke not funny?

So does Michigan still less them*

#MichiganState

We all know they're in it with all the top recruits.

We have Blake countess coming back off his knee injury as well

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."

Would be great for or running game too

this Reuben foster talk is such nonsense guys. I mean, come on.

Is that the State of Ann Arbor.

Looks like somebody's been playing a lot of golf.

Fine with me. As long as he's happy with M and ready to commit I could care less when he announces

"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."

We like trains at Michigan stadium.

I think Green just got himself #32.

Wherever he ends up, he'll do well.

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.

Holy cow, dude was a sphere back then. To say he has gotten in shape would be the understatement of the year. What a turnaround to go from 5'8" 268 to the nation's #1 HS RB

Dang.  Is he gonna get sanctions for paying high schoolers in meals?

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.

Same people who said a state track and field champion, who ran slightly slower than a college Denard, was slow, after having run a different event shortly before.

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.

#1? Braylon no like.

negged for #1 on RB

He has said that he will announce sometime in January.  That's as specific as it gets.

In relation to the U P I have always thought of Ann Arbor as being in the south.

Based on the time you posted this I'd say there's no chance you're wrong

We're all assuming he's Blue at this stage. We just want him to make it official so we can overreact about the next big recruit thats on Coach Hoke and company's radar befor NSD.

Would you be willing to AVPBCI it?

Erric Pegram agrees.

That place is awesome!

consumed my first ever McRib yesterday, already craving another

oh and WOO, please committ Derrick

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 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.
