Tremendous: More on Derrick Green
According to "Tremendous" Derrick Green's visit may be much more just a courtesy call. No guarantees or gut feelings, but "there's a lot of smoke building with this situation".

You wanted to talk to me, Mr. Seaver?

Part of an interview with Green from the link;
"From last night, when I did talk with Derrick, we also had the following exchange, which I did not post yesterday for fear of building the hype a bit too much:
Me: You gonna head up to Michigan any earlier now that Ohio State is out?
Derrick: Yes, I'll be there Friday
Me: Staying three nights now?
Derrick: Yes
Me: Any chance of something big happening this weekend? Gotta ask (lol)
Derrick: Maybe, and I think they (Ohio State I'm assuming) knew it. "
F5's at the ready men.
BUCKLED. This is just not fair to the rest of the Big Ten. Hoke is a magician. I wonder if that is legal.
Just in case. I would hate to be unbuckled during a commitment.
You can tell he'll comit to Michigan, his rivals profile picture has him wearing maize.
With all these man-beasts being assembled, when future opponents talk about "leaving it all out on the field", they'll be referring to their own blood and body parts.
Green and Treadwell to finish this class? Well, that's about as good as it could possibly get.
I agree with that outlook. Treadwell and Green are both elite skill position players which we are a little thin with in this class. I wonder if the fact that the coaches called McQuay and put a little pressure on him to commit before this weekend means that they feel they have a need for another safety more than they have a need for another RB. I know this spot is all about BPA but I always assumed that Green was a higher perceived recruit than McQuay. Maybe not. I would be thrilled with either of them.
Michigan clearly wanted another RB, but I think it's pretty clear they also wanted another DB. Both are about equal talent, so the coaches were telling LM3 that he needed to decide to. IMO, there is only really one open spot for BPA. The other spot is for WR (and possibly LT or bank it), this is the only true best player available slot.
Maybe he was told this before Douglas committed. The staff might have been thinking McQuay, Green and Treadwell, but didn't want to lose out on Douglas for just a chance at McQuay.
Maybe . . . And maybe Mark Dantonio doesn't hate Michigan with the fire of 10,000 Suns.
I love how a big name pops up and is visiting and everyone considers him a lock or Michigan lean. This is far from over.
People feed off of other peoples positivity and end up disapointed. I hope we land Green, but I wouldn't listen to a blog posters opinion of the situation. If i've learned anything from recruiting, don't develope an attachment to a highly ranked player just because he's visiting.
I've noticed that same response from mgobloggers but this is a blog with diehard wolverine fans not an unbiased news service. I think that kind of attitude comes with the territory. If you can't be a little optimistic here where can you?
...Would you 'respect' his opinion more if he had his own domain instead of a blog? I don't think anyone (except for maybe Tom) connects with recruits as well as the Tremendous guys
Half of the post is speculation and justfying why he thinks the kid will commit. I respect tremendous and think they do a great job, I just think they hype up these gullible optimistic fans a little too much.
Oh Derrick Green will be in AA for 3 days? He's definitely going to Michigan!
If he doesn't commit, I will have to hear his name in every recrruiting thread for the next 2 years.
All of this aside, I think he's a beast. and I will personally apologize to Tremendous and everyone else if he commits any time soon.
we get to do it again next year! I don't think you like wearing your belt.
My seat belt? I'm the kind of guy that wears it but puts the strap behind my back so no one can see I'm wearing it. Don't get me wrong, I really really hope he commits this weekend. But I wouldn't even call Green a Michigan lean at this point. My opinion matters less than someone who interacts with players, obviousely. But after following recruiting for 4 years, we tend to get a little too attached to any 4/5* guy that pays us a visit.
Whatever, who am I kidding, Green will probably commit this weekend.
It's a lot more than just "he's visiting."
Sorry, it's not old yet
Did you even read the interview? there wasn't really an opinion given on the situation. Just layed out the interview and let you connect the dots (which, evidently you couldn't do). Obviously, you can't expect every big time prospect to commit when they visit. But when they are asked if "something big" may happen on the weekend they are visiting, and their reply is "maybe, I think they (Ohio, the team we were kind of competing with for his services) knew it," I think you can forgive us for being a little excited.
This is what happens after 2 weeks of non-stop Sandusky talk.
Well, nobody else felt like attempting to put the kibosh on strangely sexual comments until I did. Somebody's got to do the dirty work.
Nevermind, keep reading. Magnus is called out properly a bit lower on the thread.
Someone says something like that on almost every thread about good recruiting news. And every time I feel dirty just reading it. I'm the last person to THINK OF THE CHILDREN, but with the amount of real shit recruits put up with from overly intense fans (including actual pedos- hi OSU) these comments just aren't funny.
Co-signed. It's immature and disgusting. And not to mention, it reflects poorly on our fanbase and this blog.
Ok, does anybody else also want to ruin my childhood today?
Yes, but I can't think of a good way to do so right now. I'll get back to you.
And the more egregious displays have been removed.
Says the guy with the half-football, half-pr0n blog.
Most of said posts are a couple words or pics and add no substance to the discussion.
