...but looks taller.
A redshirt year and he'll be just fine.
January 5th, 2013 at 2:33 PM ^
might not hurt either.
January 5th, 2013 at 2:37 PM ^
McDonald's in Ann Arbor? Hard to get to.
I'm thinking he needs a few Baconators...
January 5th, 2013 at 2:37 PM ^
And a quint a day at Blimpy would work too....although I hope he'll be able to get a Blimpy!
January 5th, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
Yes.
January 5th, 2013 at 2:39 PM ^
Caught the end of first half and ND's back was getting the carries. Anyone have numbers for Green?
January 5th, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
Can we haz Derrick Green?
January 5th, 2013 at 5:15 PM ^
2009 called. They want "can we haz" back.
January 5th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
January 5th, 2013 at 2:55 PM ^
he picked Miami, doesn't effect us, haha ND
Also, was that his dad with the Lions cap?
Also, also...ohio getting whooped by Illini in BBall
January 5th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
Sweet. Picks Miami over ND.
January 5th, 2013 at 2:57 PM ^
Was it just me or was his dad wearing a Detroit Lions winter hat?
January 5th, 2013 at 2:55 PM ^
January 5th, 2013 at 2:55 PM ^
Helmet to helmet...pretty dirty hit there....made no attempt to wrap up.
January 5th, 2013 at 2:58 PM ^
in this game last year? Anyone remember?

Dude is huge and legit runs like a 4.5 or something. He's apparently a monster in 7-on-7 and can lock down WRs even though he's an LB. That said, he could be suffering from the "Oh crap, now I'm playing against people who can actually play" type of thing that most kids who dominate lesser competition suffer from.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:00 PM ^
running we need from Green in AA, nice sweep run
January 5th, 2013 at 3:02 PM ^
it was Jourdan Lewis who tackled him
January 5th, 2013 at 3:02 PM ^
Wow! That D Green is good. Oh how I salivate about a potential commitment.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:03 PM ^
for a TD here please, he's earned the chance
January 5th, 2013 at 3:09 PM ^
Oh shocking, the NBC guys are talking about the speed on D for ND. I really should just mute this game...but it's more fun to complain!

by the QB's in this senior class so far, I know it's tough in these games but I've seen QB's in the past look way better than this crop.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:12 PM ^
Yeah, there aren't a lot of quality quarterbacks in this class. I've been saying that since I watched the "elite" quarterbacks at The Opening. Browne is going to be good, Morris will get there eventually, and I like Brice Ramsey. I'm sure there will be some other guys to emerge in college, but it's a weak class.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:24 PM ^
January 5th, 2013 at 3:51 PM ^
FWIW, I was really impressed by Hackenberg yesterday. Great touch and accuracy.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:56 PM ^
Huh? Hackenberg looked bad as always.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
OK. Agree to disagree. The Scout guys that were there seemed impressed by him as well... again, FWIW.
January 5th, 2013 at 5:42 PM ^
He was 4/16 for 34 yards, 0 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, and 2 sacks. I don't see how anyone could be impressed by that.
I don't think any of the quarterbacks in that game were impressive, but I'd take a few of the participants in that game over Hackenberg.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:16 PM ^
True, but he had a LOT of drops (I know... standard excuse for why one's favored QB doesn't have good stats). Most of the QBs were no where close to their intended receivers.
Some quotes from Scout.com
"Christian Hackenberg has been the best and most consistent quarterback on either team throughout the week" - Scout National Recruiting Analyst Brandon Huffman

January 5th, 2013 at 3:19 PM ^
It was already expected that he wasn't going to go to OSU from inside reports. No shock here but Mitchell is expected to commit later today.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:19 PM ^
Can't blame him. If UL isn't on the upswing, OSU's chances are great, but I wouldn't turn down my hometown team either in this scenario.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:24 PM ^
how much inside you need to get, but last time I took a look at 11w they were at least 50-50.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
Yeah, I think they originally had him at that between OSU and Lou but one of the writers said it was a no go a few days earlier. I think in the end he wanted to be at home and the win over Florida might have done that too. Moreover, with Teddy Bridgewater being able to throw a ball (we're not sure about Miller as a passer yet), Quick will be able to make some really good plays. Good pick up for the Cardinals!
January 5th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
11 Warriors is not the best place to look if you want an unbiased opinion.
There are still people here who think that Josh Garnett is going to pick Michigan.
People more inside than 11 Warriors expected Quick to pick Louisville.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:32 PM ^
The staff at 11w expected Quick to go to UL. Anything in the forums is inherently biased fanhood, no harm there.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:30 PM ^
It was more like cautious optimism, but most people weren't really buying the 50/50 thing. I actually think Shelton Gibson is better as a deep threat, because he's a more physical receiver with comparable speed.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
Can we count this as a victory?
January 5th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
Louisville is a better fit for you and U-M
January 5th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
Quick to Louisville
January 5th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
January 5th, 2013 at 3:20 PM ^
The only thing that will make me happy here is if MM commits somewhere other than OSU
January 5th, 2013 at 3:20 PM ^
