Derrick Green Picture With The Other Michigan Commits

Nice smile
This must mean he's going to commit, probably by Sunday. The worst part about these All-star games is for the next week we have to hear about who is wearing a Michigan hat, or who has a Michigan shirt, or who is rooming with who.

Sooooooo, who's Green rooming with?!?!

This doesn't mean anything...
He could commit after the game, and then he could not... Green has been very friendly with basically all the players at all the schools (not a criticism, seems like his personality). Don't read that much into a picture. IMO he is a kid who wants to stretch this out, I would not doubt new schools getting mentioned now that some Bowl performances are clarifying depth for next year (and yes, that does bode well for us too)

Also (as Mark from Tremendous pointed out) it looks like Jourdan Lewis has gotten taller.

That's what I thought.
That's what I thought. Thomas is like 6'1"-6'2" and Green is supposed to be 6'. I suppose it's not uncommon for a 17 year old high-schooler to go through a growth spurt.
January 2nd, 2013 at 2:18 PM

How do you guys
How do you guys know everyone else hasn't gotten shorter?
January 2nd, 2013 at 3:07 PM
#13
Why do we think he got
Why do we think he got taller? He's listed at 5'11", and considering Thomas and Green are 6'1" and 6'0" respectively, that's probably about right. I'd say Lewis looks at let 2 and maybe 3 inches shorter than Dymonte.
January 2nd, 2013 at 4:45 PM
#14
I'm not too concerned about
I'm not too concerned about his height, but Lewis is also the closest one to the camera. Not only is he standing in front of the other guys (except Fox, who is also turned inward), but the shot is being taken angled from Lewis's side, not head-on. Maybe he got taller, but it's probably partly an illusion.

The Rivals Auburn guy claims that Green was a silent commit to Auburn before the staff got fired.

I think Auburn and Tennessee were right there until the coaches got fired. Now I think we're the definitely leader and he'll be "Blue" in the next couple of weeks.
Question is, are these games having an affect on any other players?

30 seconds before that picture
"Hey, come take this picture with us. It will drive the Michigan blogs nuts. It's just too funny, man."
January 2nd, 2013 at 2:42 PM
#26
Funny thing is...
This is truer than most people realize.
I don't know if it's the blogs, but definitely their Twitter accounts. Recruits do and say stuff all the time just to light the fire and watch people go crazy.
I'm sure we'll get a picture of Treadwell in a Michigan hat standing next to Dawson and Morris in the coming days.
January 2nd, 2013 at 2:53 PM

Can you blame them?
If I were in their shoes, I would screw with folks like us all the time. These are, after all, teenagers making a huge decision. Imagine having strangers calling you all the time to ask you to tell them your thoughts on this huge decision. Then having hundreds of other strangers freaking out at every twitter, picture, and hat you wore? Etc.

I predict the NCAA will be making a visit to Ole Miss in a few years to investigate recruiting improprieties. No way a consistently awful program like that can just suddenly start landing elite recruits without "stuff" going on.

I wonder if any pics for the Under Armour Game will be getting posted soon? I am curious to see reaction from Treadwell (who took Mich out of his top 3) getting the ball from Morris. I hope he sees our group of guys and changes his mind about Michigan. We were so close to getting him.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago: I find it interesting that there have been reports of several new offers going out to 2013 recruits, but I can't recall any going to a running back. That fact alone makes me think Mr. Green has whispered something into the ears of the Michigan coaching staff. My only fear is that he's waiting to see if someone else sweeps him off his feet.

18 year-olds lol
I'm surprised by how filled out Lewis looks. Baesd on his numbers I'd expect him to look a lot thinner. And, has anyone noticed Fox looks like a 40 year old man? It looks good for Green...c'mon! I'm really looking forward to seeing Thomas play! Anyone think he starts next year?

About to enter vs being in
I think it's definitely awesome when you are about to enter. It's the 5 years of extreme pain unlike any other position group experiences that make it difficult. My roommate was a left-tackle and had countless injuries, none ever reported to the media. I watched this kid experience so much pain and then play every Saturday.

Have to say that I am
Have to say that I am extremely happy that Dymonte is already enrolled for next semester. Not that I was ever worried about him decommitting, but that extra spring practice will prove to be invaluable for a guy like this. He's the kind of guy that looks like he'll be too good to not have playing time next year.
He might be the recruit I'm most excited about in the current class, even more so than Shane. While I don't pay too much attention to the specific strengths and weaknesses of each recruit, everything I've heard about Dymonte is a consensus of he's fast, and perhaps most importantly to me, he hits hard.
