Sorry...I got a Derrick Green Question. Let's call it DG post # 134 on this board

I suck.  Maybe next time.  Here's the youtube link.

Youtube is blocked on my work internet, so we'll see if this works.

You almost had it, you just needed to click switch to plain text editor

Who was the original prison abs? Was it Marvin Robinson?

Yes haha... that is exactly what i'm trying to do.

Are you watching his senior tape?  If not watch the junior tape then watch the senior tape and you will see a difference.

Are your doubts football-related or cinematography-related? Cause if you're saying the video itself is unimpressive, like with angles and lighting and stuff, then this is a terrible thread.

On the other hand, if your concerns are that the film is representative of a kid who is not worthy of his ranking, then I'll trust basically every paid professional who has evaluated the kid in person, and the coach of every school with a mascot and/or a vowel in its name, all of whom offered him a scholarship.

How can you not be impressed by his tape?

His tape isn't a magic eye poster. There aren't hidden touchdowns or rocket ships or anything. Scouting is an inexact science, so if you aren't good at breaking down film, then you're probably stuck relying on other peoples' evaluations. And the vast majority of people who have analyzed this kid say, "very much good."

You are a funny guy Ziffy. I have reminders set 3 times a day  to see if you've posted, just so I can get my neg gun out.

you might need "green" glasses

You're totally missing the point man.

There can be unlimited amounts of praise about high school kids.  At the end of the day, that doesn't mean anything (well, something, just not as much as people like to put into it).  

Here's an activity: Go to rivals, or your other favorite rating site.  Go back like 6 years.  Look at the top recruits either in the country, or at Michigan. I guarantee you will see names of kids who were rated in the top 5/10/20/50 in the country, played at every high school all star game, people claimed was the next [insert NFL'er at his position who played at school he committed] and yet today you couldn't tell me if they played 1 snap in college.  Why?  Just start googling the names. Some maybe got injured, some might have got into off the field touble, but a lot also ended up transfering to a smaller school, or ended having a very marginal career and are lucky to be drafted late or make it as a free agent.  

The opposite is even interesting.  Look up guys in the NFL now.  You'll see 3 star recruits that  you assumed would be a bench warmer who might get in his redshirt sr. year.

Yet you still opened and commented on a thread that was...wait for it.....about recruiting....smh

... while he didn't live up to the hype, he's turned in a respectable career as a WR at Rice.  Also, I think calling someone a flop because he suffered 1 or 2 concussions in his one season at Michigan is harsh.
