Derrick Green Sets Decision Date
January 12th, 2013 at 12:45 PM ^
Well, I won't be surprised if I have lots of trouble accessing this site on the 26th.
January 12th, 2013 at 12:46 PM ^
Well we are sure to be doomed because on the 26th of January last year, I ate some bad Mexican food and was pulling a Harry Dunn in my bathroom all day. Definitely not a good sign.
/SSS

Thrown the food straight in the toilet and cut out the middleman

Tios?

@rivalsmike: Good for #wolverines #Michigan “@BrOoKyLn_boii27: I have decided to make my college announcement on january 26 at 4:00pm #truly blessed!!
January 12th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
And whenever that happens, I can't help but think it's because of news about Green.
This time it was! And good news nonetheless.
Go Blue Green!

So is it just between us, Auburn, and Tennessee then? I know Miami and FSU were said to be in the mix also. With two weeks until his announcement, Id say this bodes well for us.

If we can get him. The post Mike Hart era has been the longest consecutive stretch of Michigan football I can remember without a top tier RB. I realize we're never going to lead the nation in sub 4.3 DB recruits from Florida, but it seems crazy that we're all on pins and needles just to get a high profile RB at Michigan. Back in the day, landing high end talent at this position was a given.
Thanks again, RichRod!

Well we do already have Smith who is, imo, the forgotten recruit of this class.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:32 PM ^
He is not good.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
Ya, I forgot that they just hands out 4 stars these days. What a chump, guess I should have played, I'm probably better than he is.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:49 PM ^
So terrible that Ohio offered him early just as we did. If Michigan and ohio offer you before your senior year of high school even starts, chances are you're pretty good at football.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
We were never really RB U. Had some high ranked recruits, many of whom were busts. Hart was a 3 star.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
everybody wants to go out and book a Hummersine for this guy.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
Wasn't a running back, but you do know a guy just graduated from the program with over 4,000 rushing yards, right? It's not like Michigan has been dying for a way to move the ball on the ground

But it certainly wouldn't have hurt our offense's production during his time here if we had gotten stronger, more consistent play out of the RB position.
For the earlier poster who said we were never running back-U, I humbly submit the following names from my years as a Michigan fan: Butch Woolfolk, Jamie Morris, Tony Boles, Leroy Hoard, Tyrone Wheatley, Tsimanga Biakabatuka, Anthony Thomas, Chris Perry, Mike Hart. All those guys were among the best backs in the Big 10 during their days at Michigan, several played at an All America level and all besides Boles made it to the NFL at some point. From 1979-2007, we never went more than 3 years without having at least one of those guys on the team. Manball obviously requires a big, talented O-Line but you need the good tailback as well. Other than the Fitz 2011 campaign we haven't gotten that type of production out of the RB spot since 2007. By Michigan standards, that's way too long.

Is DG taking his last two officials, and if so when would these be? Since the 26th falls on a Saturday he could be committing hours after an official.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:48 PM ^
are this weekend and the next.
January 12th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Per his family, he is taking this weekend off after last weeks trip to San Antonio.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:39 PM ^
Really looking forward to his decision. Haven't been this excited for a possible Mich commit in a very long time.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
But I just read a great series of quotes from Derrick Green's mother about the complete falsehoods some Auburn insiders have been spewing about her supposedly wanting her son to go to Auburn over any others.
January 12th, 2013 at 1:50 PM ^
Will have to pick out a new Jersey if he gets a 5th year
January 12th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Ann Arbor = A2
Devin Gardner = DG
Derrick Green = DG
DG + DG = DG2
DG2 = A2
Thereore, Derrick Green WILL commit to MICHIGAN
Yes
