Green names top 6
Was that ever mentioned previously as a school he was considering
THE NIKE!!!!
You know that sweet, sweet Nike money gets looks.
Yes. Not as heavily as Michigan, Ohio State, Auburn, and Clemson, but he's been keeping an eye on them.
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:18 AM ^
Ohio, or Ohio State, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Seems like their kind of back.
They did offer him, but Altee Tenpenny might have something to do with that. Tenpenny is one of the better running backs in the country and a guy I want/wanted more than Green. Michigan never offered Tenpenny, though.
Also, Alabama gets a stud running back (or two) just about every year, so they're not quite as much in need of an impact player at the position.
He's also a shoe-in candidate for Name Of The Year.
being called a "wildcard is a good thing....
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:38 AM ^
Pretty much makes them the lock for not getting the official.
I'm surprised that Alabama didn't make the final list. I thought that he had a good visit down there and there were reports that they were leading for him (although this is when Ohio was also supposedly leading for him).
I belive that was a mis-report. We're talking about a different Green.
It looks like, for now at least, this is a Michigan vs Auburn race.
If that is the case we have to hope that Green isn't looking for a payday...
Too much peanut. Snickers does it up just right

Payday is the greatest candy bar on earth.

Reeses cup just smacked your mom.
August 2nd, 2012 at 12:11 PM ^
...which did NOT result in Almond Joy.
That's because smacking Oyster's mom is the awesomest thing on earth, and as we all know that is how Butterfingers are created.

Like a true homer, just ignoring the fact that he was correct and hate on him because it's "cool."

Oregon is the Charlie Kelly of Derrick Green's recruitment
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:09 AM ^
any top 6 list that contains Ole Miss is really a top 5 list?
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:13 AM ^
Wait a second. Wby a "top 6" when all reports prior to last weekend had him all inside a winged helmet by Sunday?
I'm confused.

...except in 2012 when Andre Miles-Redmond went to Virginia.
So guys from Hermitage almost always go to Virginia Tech, except in the last two years when they go to Ohio State and Virginia instead.
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:37 AM ^
Maybe you have a different school in mind, but Hermitage hasn't sent anyone to VT since 2009. It's really nobody's pipeline and certainly no Cass Tech.

I hear what your saying BUT don't forget about Virginia Tech. Word on the street is Green's HS Coach really likes the Hokies.
Or so I've heard.

August 2nd, 2012 at 10:29 AM ^
It would have been ever better if it were accurate.

Scott Kennedy said Green will be moving up the Scout rankings and will be at least the #2 back in the nation. Since Rivals already has him at #1, this kid is getting some serious love from the top two recruting sites.
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:40 AM ^
While we obviously want to get him, it's great to see that we have won the regional recruiting battle for arguably the top running back in the country. If a kid wants to stay down in SEC country or head out to the pac 10 and sport the neon underwear, there's nothing we can do. All Michigan can do is make itself the kid's top B1G / Midwest choice, which Hoke & Co. are doing masterfully with so many top players.
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:49 AM ^
Probably has been previously asked and answered, but I couldn't find it, but has Green settled on a date for when he's taking his official here or is that not confirmed yet? Thanks in advance.
August 2nd, 2012 at 10:55 AM ^
I'm thinking VaTech...don't count out Oregon, never a good sign when a possible commit has Oregon on their final list.
August 2nd, 2012 at 11:21 AM ^
The way this class filled up so early, these last couple of spots have made me impatient. Somewhat worried that Green and Treadwell don't end up Blue if this continues to drag on. We were pretty spoiled in this recruiting year with all the early commits, but I think we still need the difference maker at RB and WR.
August 2nd, 2012 at 11:26 AM ^
Sorry kids. I've seen this movie before and I know how it ends. Green won't be blue.
