Let's all over-analyze things Derrick Green said in his Rivals chat

Submitted by Randy Marsh on

Derrick Green had a live chat today at the Army All-American Bowl. UM notes:

  • Michigan has "small" lead
  • Best coaching relationship is with Hoke
  • Says he will still take visits even after committing soon, but just to enjoy the recruiting process
  • The picture with the current commits was both for fun and something to read into

Committed because he is unsure in my opinion. I hope he is Blue but am not getting my hopes up, I'm happy we have Deveon Smith. If Green commits, I'll be happy, if not, we will be fine.

assuming you needed to tell us to over-analyze something, let alone comments by a recruit of note. This isn't that other place, we have professional analyzer folk here.

I'm not sure if he will actually commit soon, because if he wants to commit to Michigan he'll probably have to get all of those official visits out of the way first.

All the insidery people seem to think he's coming here, but if he doesn't it's not the end of the world in my view.

I'd rather him take all his visits and then commit. If it's not until signing day, so be it.

What has an insider said?

A. He is Blue or Michigan has a small lead OR,

Then: Said insider is a genuis/credible source

B. Recruit is looking eslewhere/taking visits elsewhere.

Then: Insider is (choose negative adjective, i.e. idiot, stupid, joke, or Ace Williams) and question validity of the source.

You're speculating based off small peices of anecdotal evidence. This is the biggest decision of his life.  When I searched for a college, it wasnt like I just decided where i was going out of nowhere, I had schools "in the lead" while I was still looking elsewhere just to make sure I knew I had made the right choice.

To equate your "college of choice" with his, fing geez you sound like Freedie Prince Jr in She's All That. Spoiled fing brat!!

Well you boob, no one cares about these guys if we all honest with ourselves. Sure once they play and we start to care about fantasy strangers in a weird way, but really most don't.

Most are thinking, "oh, I care I really care about their well being, and degree, but really, I really want them to score TD's and win us championship so I can brag about their accomplishments even though most of us can't do shit on a college football field but think we are all awesome football sauce.

Just leave it alone people. Leave it alone. You control nothing, and can't hope it to happen.

If  I was a senior in high school, I'd enjoy being told how good I am and being wined and dined too.  Let's stop overanalyzing this, he's going to Michigan.  I'll BKFinest it, RDT it, and Party Room it.  

This is what sticks out to me:

 
Derrick Green: 
Bob,

Because I want to commit to my school, but I also have two official visits left and want to go out, travel, see what other schools have to offer. Once I make my commitment I am a man of my word, but I just want to take those two officials and enjoy the recruiting process

As much as I would prefer he just commit to us and be done with it, its his chance to check out other programs and confirm ours is the best fit for him.  I admit I follow way to much recruiting info on sites and twitter, but do have the feeling he is more solid Michigan than any other schools by far.  But...you never know.

He's blue all the way....just wants to enjoy the ride....anyone that says they wouldn't want a couple free vacations around the country is nuts!

Many will neg your post bit virtually every guy on this board secretly agrees with you. The kid is 17. Does he: (a) want to commit early and be done with this process, or (2) travel from college campus to college campus hooking up with some of the hottest women at each stop, something that most men only dream about. Did I mention that he is 17?
