5* Derrick Green to make his decision "soon" per his twitter
“@diezel75_: When you plan on making that decision bro @brookyln_boii27 ?” Soon
— D.GREEN #⃣2⃣7⃣ (@BrOoKyLn_boii27) November 26, 2012
I wonder how soon. If this could be a reaction towards the coaches picking up the recruitment on Isaac and also the recent firings. But this still doesnt entail a commitment to Michigan.
Spare me on the formating, I suck at this.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
I wasnt reading into anything. It was a clear statement. He said he was deciding "soon".
November 26th, 2012 at 6:43 PM ^
Yes, but I chose to believe he was leaning Michigan soon. Now he may do something way off of what I'm expecting, but it doesn't sound like it.
I'm so tired of people getting attacked on this board for even suggesting something that might be true. This is supposed to be a place people can enjoy themselves around other Michigan fans, not get attacked for an opinion. But, I'm an idealist, and I realize I'll fight a losing battle for the rest of my life.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:50 PM ^
I believe he is leaning towards Michigan, based on how his recruitment is being played out. But I dont think anyone should read into any recruits tweets and assume a possible commitment.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:56 PM ^
People rarely get attacked for an opinion when they make it clear it's just an opinion. The problem is, people pose their opionions as facts, and way too often.
There's a difference between saying "Derrick Green is a Michigan lean" and "Based on his recent tweets, I bet Derrick Green is a Michigan lean." Too many people say the first, when they really mean the second. You won't get attached for the second statement. People might reply with a counter argument, or ask you to tell why you think that, but they aren't going to attack you.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:01 PM ^
While I deeply respect a great number of posters on this board, I've seen too many instances where people have been attacked.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:15 PM ^
You shut your damn mouth scumbag. Dumbledore 4 lyfe!!
November 26th, 2012 at 7:17 PM ^
That's bullshit!! No one ever does that, I already told you that you ass mouth. Cool Harry Potter username.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:30 PM ^
(slowly walks away)....
November 26th, 2012 at 9:03 PM ^
Lord Voldemort commenting on attacks. "Avada Kedavra" to him
November 26th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Asshole killed my buddy Cedric.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:32 PM ^
this was just in responds to Denzel Ward asking him when he is going to commit. its nothing.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:39 PM ^
But to definitively say "it's nothing" is illogical.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:51 PM ^
you're right,we haven't heard this before.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:57 PM ^
But you can't base Green's recruitment on how others have panned out. Green has followed his recruiting plan pretty thuroughly from the sounds of it. He's never named a leader, and has never said anything that would make people assume he would commit to Michigan from the beginning. So on that regard, he's absolutely nothing like Treadwell, Garnett, Diamond or the rest.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:10 PM ^
my bad, it was Treadwell that has said it. I was thinking it was Green. good call.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:43 PM ^
i am willing to grasp at straws to take my mind off the train wreck that was this past weekend...
November 26th, 2012 at 6:47 PM ^
My psyche is still recovering, but I'm making progress.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:47 PM ^
Well signing day can be considered "soon" at this point.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:51 PM ^
He plans to enroll early so I expect It to be before signing day.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:50 PM ^
I think you should stick with the formatting. It makes your comments appear like quotes and potentially more reliable although you should include a source /s
November 26th, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
"Spare me on the formating, I suck at this."
November 26th, 2012 at 6:55 PM ^
I think it is likely 27 will be available next year........
November 26th, 2012 at 6:58 PM ^
It won't be. Unless he can convince the guy who already has it to switch, which is always possible.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
Mike Jones will get a 5th year?
November 26th, 2012 at 7:05 PM ^
No, but that wouldn't matter since Mike Jones plays defense. Jonathan Keizer wears 27 on offense, and he's a RS freshman. Yes, he's a walk-on, but they have numbers too.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:17 PM ^
Scholarship players have priority when it comes to assigning numbers.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
Jones plays D so Green can still wear 27
November 26th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
Twitter says he cut his hair!! Deals off, pull the offer
November 26th, 2012 at 6:54 PM ^
Twitter is always right.
November 26th, 2012 at 6:59 PM ^
I find it to be somewhat more reliable than the twitters.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:08 PM ^
How has this not happened yet?
SOON
November 26th, 2012 at 7:21 PM ^
but Twitter is the worst thing to ever happen to recruiting. It has its merits sure, but mostly it puts creepy 25-50 yr olds into direct contact with their 17 yr old man crushes who they've never met
November 26th, 2012 at 7:26 PM ^
1) Why do we assume everyone on here is 25-50.
2) I think Rivals and Scout are the worst thing that happened, becuase know we know who they are, and get daily updates.
But yes Twitter has made it worse.
November 26th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
I had a dime for everytime someone said that on here.... Thank you for being the 1000th mgoblog member to point this out! Free Pepsi... Fo life!!!
November 26th, 2012 at 7:33 PM ^
Whats new
November 26th, 2012 at 7:38 PM ^
soon= i'm bored and would like some attention.
doing instead of tweeting= actually worth something
November 26th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
Soon because I'm bored with all this attention.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:46 PM ^
I was really excited about RJS about this time last year. But, it seems like he is getting burried on the depth chart until at best his senior year. Does this surprise anyone and will he ever be a starter before his senior year if at all?
November 26th, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
Will not be buried on the depth chart until his senior year, I think he needed to bulk up before he could compete for a starter. He will be on the field next year a lot more IMO
November 26th, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
Why do you think that RJS is getting buried in the depth chart until his senior year? He got some reps as a true freshman. Is it because we are recruiting other quality linebackers? If so, I think that your perspective may be impacted by recent years where any quality player is instantly a 3-4 year starter. Most good teams load up at every position with high level talent and them all of that talent cancompete for playing time, often resulting in quality players rotating in situationally as under classmen, and then locking down starting jobs by their last 2 years. Obviously there are exceptions.
I actually share your excitement for RJS. He has potential to be very good, but I don't see any reason that he doesn't play somewhat next year and then work in more time over his junior year.
November 26th, 2012 at 8:32 PM ^
Here's why:
Until RJS's senior year, M will have at least 3 guys always ahead of him. Outside of injury, I don't see RJS ever passing Morgan, Bolden and Ross. In addition to them, the coaches have said good things about Antonio Poole before his injury, and there's Kaleb Ringer in there as well. Ben Gedeon is also a monster, and will be here next fall.
But even if Poole, Ringer and Gedeon are behind RJS, he's still the 4th ILB until his senior year, where he'll still be 3rd unless Bolden or Ross go pro early. He might get some snaps at LB as early as this fall, but I doubt he gets very many. Not because he's bad, just because they guys ahead of him are good.
November 26th, 2012 at 8:37 PM ^
You don't see RJS passing Desmond Morgan? I would have to strongly disagree with that. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens next year.
November 26th, 2012 at 8:39 PM ^
Desmond Morgan will be in his third year starting next fall. It's possible that he gets passed by Bolden or Ross, but certainly not RJS. EIther way, I bet Morgan starts all season next fall.
November 26th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
He's in his third year, but he's also been very mediocre at several points throughout this season. In terms of talent, there is no comparison.
November 26th, 2012 at 7:46 PM ^
Ohh I wish Twitter was never invented.....
November 26th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
Would love to get green in this class. I force myself to be pessimistic about such things.
November 26th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
Obviously this is not remotely in the realm of possibility, but for the sake of discussion if there could only be one where does everyone stand on green vs. ty? Obviously they both look like tremendous backs at the next level and we would be lucky to have either but I thought this might make for some fun discussion. And anyone with actual scouting experience please chime in I know at least for me the input is much appreciated.
November 26th, 2012 at 8:34 PM ^
I'd prefer Isaac. Both of them have their drawbacks, but I Isaac is a little more versatile, IMO. He can split out as a WR or line up at tailback. Isaac is faster as well.
November 26th, 2012 at 8:50 PM ^
True but is Isaacs running style and body type like someone you can give the ball to 30 times a game. I think Green is built better for big time football.
