Derrick Green Sets Decision Date
January 12th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
This is a pretty good sign for the good guys, IMO.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
Cool - 26 is my lucky number, so I think we're good here.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
that means absolutely nothing!
(still think/hope DG goes blue)
January 12th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
So this means no more Derrick Green posts until Jan 26, right guys? guys?
January 12th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
January 12th, 2013 at 1:36 PM ^
You left off an "a". Maybe you were just catching your breath.
January 12th, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
Green? /s
January 12th, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
You wouldn't like to know what color shirt he's wearing on the 20th. I call a bluff!
January 12th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
I double post without fail on this phone ... looks like I already broke my own "no DG posts" prediction.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
This is unfortunate for you.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
Damn, you beat me.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:16 PM ^
Anymore visits before then?
January 12th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
Seems odd to set a date that far out without a reason, like, "I'll be back from such and such visit on 'x' day, so I should be able to make my decision by day 'y'." Then again, 18 y/o minds and recruiting in general seems odd to me.
January 12th, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
I hear no more visits for Green
January 12th, 2013 at 12:19 PM ^
26 is my unlucky number.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
26 is neither my lucky nor my unlucky number.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:22 PM ^
My birthday. Now I really hope its a great day!
January 12th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
I would have guessed March 3rd
January 12th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
My un-birthday, but I still hope its a great day
January 12th, 2013 at 1:24 PM ^
A very merry unbirthday to you!
January 12th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
Say who he is going to pick on the 26th?
January 12th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
Buuuuut ... does he know where he's going!?!?
/s
January 12th, 2013 at 12:30 PM ^
How do we know this isn't just legilimency?
January 12th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
Don't you read? Geesh. http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Legilimency.
January 12th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
So get off my lawn, and take your basilisk with you.
January 12th, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
Expelliarmus.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:28 PM ^
identify the post as Derrick Green #136.
January 12th, 2013 at 5:01 PM ^
What about Devin Gardner (the "original" DG)?
January 12th, 2013 at 12:31 PM ^
whether I am elated or angry. Time TBD but it should be about 10 seconds after Derrick Greens announcement
January 12th, 2013 at 1:10 PM ^
4:00:10 then I imagine?
January 12th, 2013 at 3:28 PM ^
you have to allow for appropriate time to be introduced, thank coaches and your parents, and then time rummaging around to find the correct hat so I'd say it's more likely to be 4:02:10
January 12th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Staff can devote 90% of energy to him now that LM3 and Laquon are clearly gone. Closing with DD, Delano, Hunt and DG will make this a great foundation class.
The staff can then focus on adding some pure playmakers (CB, WR, RB, FS) in 2014 along with more depth across the board.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
College football is not like college football video games, FYI. I'm very sure the staff have many other things to do.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:44 PM ^
I don't play video games. I have been a GA thru 2 recruiting cycles - January is 90% or thereabouts on recruiting/HS evals focus for everyone but S&C staff.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:47 PM ^
I take back my comment then. Do staff get to take a little time off after NSD?
January 12th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
"here and there" before spring football planning goes into overdrive and then a little more in the 12 or so weeks before late July.
The changes in NCAA rules, texting, earlier commits, 7-on-7 explosion - the coaches are consumed with recruiting and hardly ever unplug. I would guess the UM staff works 80+ hours every week with home time & vacation regularly interrupted with calls/texts/etc.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:53 PM ^
Snap.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
The post on 247 was just edited to include 4 PM as the announcement time as well (per Green's Facebook apparently) so there is this as well. Looks like I shall be tuning out at work early that day to be in the accompanying announcement thread.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
You'll be glad to find out then that Jan.26 is a Saturday
January 12th, 2013 at 2:56 PM ^
Unless he works Saturdays.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:34 PM ^
If Green turns us down, will that create more individual posts and comments than if he commits, or will it be the opposite?
January 12th, 2013 at 12:42 PM ^
The exact same. If he commits it will be about how awesome he is and who he will be like (a-train) and how Hoke can close. If he doesn't commit posts will be about how D. Smith looked better anyway and why Hoke can't close.
Either way, I will have plenty of posts to read to kill time!
January 12th, 2013 at 12:43 PM ^
Hoke can't close posts
January 12th, 2013 at 4:07 PM ^
ABC. A, always; B, be; C, closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING!
January 12th, 2013 at 12:49 PM ^
If he turns down. If it's anything like everyone else who has committed it will be news for about 3 days and the greed of who's next will kick in.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:19 PM ^
Green shows up in a Michigan hat, ready to pick Michigan......only to take off his shirt, reveal an Ohio jersey and proceed to clock Brady Hoke with a steel chair. If that chain of events was to transpire, I'm pretty sure this site would crash and I would never watch college football again. Oh yeah, I suppose Green would have to be arrested for assault too.
Ummmmm....I think I need to stop talking. Maybe I should sit these next couple plays out.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:27 PM ^
record would definitely make him a Buckeye.
He seems a little too grounded for Option 3. Go Blue.
