Green is blue.

More visits
Seems to me the reason he hasn't committed yet is so he can take all his official visits.
"Relax you panic monger" -Megatron
He has not
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.
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
I almost down-voted you for
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.
May you have a strong foundation

I'm not sure if he will
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.
Hopefully he commits and
Hopefully he commits and decides not to take any visits.
If he commits to us, great
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.
one of those insidery people
one of those insidery people said that Poggi was OV to Alabama. Just saying
Don't you know the rules here?
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.

it almost feels like he is looking for a reason not to come to Michigan but hasn't found a good enough reason.......yet.

You're speculating based off
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
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.

This is what sticks out to
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 |

Very good answer by Green.
Very good answer by Green. It's plain and simple. He's got an opportunity that few HS kids get, so he's going to enjoy all the free vouchers he has been awarded. Good for him.
The question then
is will those schools still offer him an 'official' visit. One would think yes just to try and get one more chance at him, but I know Carrol when he was at USC turned down a recruits 'official visit' request because the kid was a solid commit to another school.
I like this kid
He is a very intelligent young man who holds himself very well. Blue commit or not, I will be a fan of his.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
So why not take the visits
So why not take the visits and then commit? That would make more sense.
There you go folks
There you go folks. It's robbyt003'd. Put your fears aside.

Visits
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.
Couple weeks
Sounds like in a couple weeks we may have to buckle up.
We're not teaching them about sports, we're teaching them about life!
Maize + Blue == Green?
Maize + Blue == Green?
So he's going to MSU? Damn
So he's going to MSU? Damn you, Dantonio!!! Damn you and your national program.
Imagine his first game in east Lansing
As a wolverine and the crowd is chanting "Go Green"
What would they do
if there was a theoretical offense that had Pat White at QB and Derrick Green at RB? I'd like to think they would still do an immensely ironic "Go Green! Go White" chant but in my heart I know that they would actually chant "F*ck Green! F*ck White!"
Quick, when are those two
Quick, when are those two visits?
He's blue all the way....just
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!
OMG
OMG HE SAID MICHIGAN
If you see someone in an airport with Michigan logos on luggage and they are wearing a pilot uniform come say hello.
I hope he takes those visits
I hope he takes those visits before he commits anywhere. Go out and enjoy those visits and then make your decision.

Unknown I agree with you
100%, Buck Killer i get what you're saying but the way you said it just wasn't classy
Agree
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?
Speak for yourself.
Not every man is a morally debauched person.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
at 17?
I would posit that every 17 year old guy is morally debauched.
Could be wrong but is this
Could be wrong but is this not almost exactly what happened with Sean Parker at the AA game? Took pics with UM players, said "Go Blue" every chance he was on camera, claimed to be sure where he was going but wanted to take visits, etc. Not saying one thing or another but this is oddly similar to Parker's AA game week in action, words and assumtion.
off topic, but goodness
off topic, but goodness Shane's accuracy in the skills competition. goodness.
I didn't catch the show
I didn't get a chance to catch the showing of the skills challenge, so to clarify, I'm guessing you are meaning "goodness" in a negative way?
