Derrick Green visiting Auburn this weekend per AU scout site

Not good if true. It would be on his own dime since he's already had his official visit to Auburn. I'd link but it's premium. Don't shoot the messenger.

If anything, this recruitment

If anything, this recruitment reminds me of Josh Garnett.  Teased us until the day he chose Stanford.  I still do think Michigan will end up with Green though... Just scary when teams down south get the last word.

Treadwell reminds me of Jordan Diamond.  Had us as a leader throughout the entire time but chose not to commit and kept "enjoying the recruiting process" then ended up committing elsewhere.

During the AA game, he said he needed to visit Auburn and Tennessee again to meet the new coaching staffs. He's already taken his official to Auburn, ergo visiting again "on his own dime" (Read: on a booster's private jet)

Ungood

But, other programs are gonna bust their humps for top guys like Green.  We have to work hard to get them, and in this environment, at least that hard to keep them. 

Auburn, though?  That program is not in a great place, although maybe they sell him on "play now."   Not really something that differentiates them from us.  He will at a minimum be in the mix if he goes Blue.

Why is this bad?

We knew he wanted to take additional visits. Those visits had to take place sometime, so the fact that it is this weekend wouldn't seem to make much of a difference.

I think the problem isn't so

I think the problem isn't so much that he's going to visit a school that isn't Michigan after he said he already knew where he was going (which is already bad), it's that he's paying for the trip himself. Definitely not good.

He's said he was going to take visits to AU and UT.  He's already taken officials to both those schools.  He knows it's going to be on his own dime.  Everybody else knows it would be on his own dime.  This is not a surprise.

This

My guess is Michigan still leads, but he has liked Auburn in the past and wants to at least the new coaching staff a chance before actually committing. He's just cleaning up any loose ends before finishing the process. Maybe he finds out he likes the coaching staff and goes to Auburn, but I don't think he's making this trip to commit there (he hasn't even met the coaches yet).

I want him to do his homework

If he's going to commit to Michigan, I'd like him to be done looking around.  If he's going to commit to Auburn, he should make sure he's comfortable.  Either way, I hope he has a nice time.  In fact, I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

I just cant see spending his own money to take another trip when he already knows where he's going.

He said he would. He took officials to Tenn and Auburn, then they got new coaches. I think it's a good idea for him to at least meet them, despite him already knowing where he wants to go.

Green is smart and won't

be swayed by Gus' spread attack, especially as his spread focuses on RB runs outside the tackle - and we're not even considering his favorite play of the jet sweep.

Plus, his OV for the Georgia game had the distinct benefit of showing him 80% of Auburn fans leaving by half.  They are bandwagon fans with a win-at-all-cost mentality.

Never know, but AU shouldn't be our biggest threat.

A couple things

Gus can change the focus of his spread attack. He focused on RB runs to the outside at Auburn with Newton because Newton was a great between the tackles runner but didn't have elite speed.

Also, Green has really good speed, him attacking the edge isn't too much of an issue.

All that said, I still don't think he wants to play in a spread attack and my guess is Michigan still leads, as I commented above.

Isn't not wanting to play in a spread attack

the same argument everyone made last year for Brionte Dunn.  How did that one turn out for us?  Granted Dunn was a current Ohio commit, but any coach can feed a kid as much BS as he wants to get him to commit.  It worked for Urban!!

Sure Gus could change.

However, his scheme for 15 years has been predicated on "sideline to sideline" with running backs (running wide is both to attack the edge and split the safeties for seam routes).  His inside running is just to probe the D and keep LBs honest.  Shiloh, Springdale, Tulsa, Auburn - all relied on these principles.

Regardless, as you noted his speed, maybe Green simply decides he is more of a speed/seam guy than pro/power guy.  

We know 18 year olds make irrational choices sometimes.

Whistling through the graveyard. Any idiot knows that Auburn has rabid fans and that their early departures last season were due to terrible football. A confident player and coach will expect things to improve, and Auburn's environment is a known draw.



And he might not like spread offenses, but don't think he can't be sold on playing in one better tuned for his skills.



And don't think these superficial factors are even a real issue anyways.

He already stated he's made up his mind where he wants to go. He also stated he'd visit Auburn and Tennessee (he hasn't met with the new coaching staffs yet at either school.) I think that's very telling for Michigan. It shouldn't be a bad thing when he visits Tennessee after.

Exactly

And everyone freaking out that it's "not an official" and that he's "paying his own dime", he's paying for a weekend trip for one of the biggest decisions of his life so far. It's probably something that can be seen as worth the cost to make sure the next 3-5 years are the best fit for the kid.

While thinking about this, I took a peek at Auburn's recruiting class.  How is it that they already have 3 players that have signed LOI's??  I see that all three are JUCO types... are there different rules for kids transferring vs. kids coming out of high school?

I'm not suggesting that reading this thread would keep him from coming to Michigan.  I am questing the mindset of a lot of people here, who seem to be saying that it is a foregone conclusion that Green will take the benefits.  

These people either no longer want Green to come to Michigan since he is taing this unofficial visit, which I think is ridiculous, or they still want him to come here and don't care whether he takes the benefits from another school, which I think is even worse.

Call me crazy, but I'd like to assume that our recruits do not break NCAA rules until I see actual evidence to the contrary.

Ok, I see where you are coming from.

If Hoke & Co. have some method of only going after the ones who would not, I'm good with that. Personally, I don't see us wanting a recruit and that recruit (or his parents) being willing to take money or other benefits as being mutually exclusive. 

As far as it being a mindset, I think you are reading more into the comments than the writers intended. I do think that most of them think it is a foregone conclusion that said benefits might be offered.

His recruitment has seemed very odd to me.  His final three schools are Michigan, Tennessee and Auburn.  Is it me or does one of these stick out like a sore thumb?

Tennessee and Auburn are notorious for using shady recruiting tactics.  If he ends up at one of those schools there is no way I could be convinced there wasn't recruiting violations.

Yes, sir.

I commented the other day in a different thread that Green strikes me as our Lacey.  Strong, solid, decent feet and ability to wear down defenses.

We still need Deveon or another back (Mixon in 2014) to be a second threat, like TJ Yeldon.

Lacy's running in NCG was his best showing by far and he made the OL look even better.

I wonder when Brent

will decide AJ's mom is a better target for his efforts?  

She might move slow enough for him to catch and she might not notice his analgesic scent.

I think we'd all be OK with that. But until then, we'll play the 'higher stars is more likely to be successful' game.

Yes, but annecdotal evidence

Yes, but annecdotal evidence doesn't really tell the whole story. If that's all you wanna look at, how about this?

Last year, Alabama signed TJ Yeldon (5*, 12th overall player) and Kenyan Drake (4*). Both run behind the same line. Yeldon runs for 1131 with another 1000 yard rusher on the team. Drake runs for 285. Which one would you rather have?

Last year, Miami signed Duke Johnson (5*, 30th overall player) and Danny Dillard (3*). Both run behind the same line. Johnson runs for 977 yards, leading the team. Dillard redshirted. Which one would you rather have? 

Last year, Texas signed Johnathan Gray (5*, 5th overall player) and Daje Johnson (4). Both run behind the same line. Gray runs for 740 yards, leading the team. Johnson had 225 yards. 

Rankings are obviously not perfect, but they exist for a reason.

Jesus, everybody needs to get

Jesus, everybody needs to get off the ledge.  This kid is a big time recruit.  Big time recruits take multiple visits and usually drag their commitments out until signing day.  If we want an elite recruit, these are the kinds of things you deal with.

He said he was taking visits to everyone remaining. He needs to see Auburn with Gus. Wouldn't worry that much.

This is how I'm picturing the visit

 

Derrick Green almost makes it to the Alabama State border, then all of a sudden....

 

Then Derrick Green will truck Gandalf over the edge, muttering something about taking his visits. I've never been to Alabama, but I just assume there are volcanic like structures that ancient creatures dwell in.

 

Then while gandalf is hanging over the edge, he says 

 

 

This foe is beyond you, Derrick Green

 

Then Derrick will retreat north bypassing Virginia, and heading straight to protection of Hoke the Elder.

Based upon your username and this post, I must ask-

When was the last time you had sex...with a woman?

Hmm

Well, in order to have this account, my wife said that I have to let my daughters name it. So, Lord Voldemort it is. And if you have a problem with Lord of the Rings, you can indeed go fuck yourself.

You needed your wife's permission to have an MGo account? Way to wear the pants there, Ron Weasley...

In my defense

My wife is better looking than me, and she hates sports, but I enjoy sex. It's really a solid trade off for me.

Once I google Ron Weasley, I will have a scathing retort.

okay, even if we don't end up

okay, even if we don't end up with green, any back is only as good as his offensive line. if alabama had a crappy line, tj yeldon and eddie lacy would look pretty crappy, too. their stats are so outrageous because they aren't touched until they're already 4-5 yds downfield. last i checked, our offensive line recruiting haul was tops in the nation. guys like kalis, magnuson, kugler, bosch, dawson, and the list goes on and on, are going to make whoever we put in the backfield look good. damn good. whether its derrick green or deveon smith. lets also not forget that mike hart was a lowly 3-star when he committed. last i checked, his career at Michigan turned out alright. green would be a great get, but i have just as much confidence in deveon smith to carry the load.

Well if you read some of the "if he's going to visit an SEC school that just proves he's a liar and a thief" crowd comments above this only means Auburn has developed more stealthy means of funnelling money to him.

I still feel like he's going to Michigan. He says he knows where he is going but hasn't committed because of Hokes visit policy and he just wants to enjoy the rest of his recruitment. Just my thoughts.
