Derrick Green [Open] Thread
Today is the day. In about 4 hours from now at 4PM EST, Hermitage RB Derrick Green will announce his decision. Finalists include Michigan, Tennessee, and Auburn.
Story from newspaper that will cover the announcement live: http://bit.ly/VoJlH6
Mod edit: Changed the name of the thread to discourage the otherwise inevitable onslaught of board posts. Unless Green or someone close to the situation confirms his choice before the announcement, there doesn't need to be another thread posted. If someone wants to start an announcement open thread sometime close to 4:00, go for it. JGB.

When its offical we better crash the site with joy
January 26th, 2013 at 2:53 PM ^
This announcement is a big deal. I wonder how much fun it is to see grown men freak out over where an 18 year old decides to go to college.

RT @ EagleDamnWar : Early reports from various places are saying Derrick Green has Told Michigan coaches he has committed to Them.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:56 PM ^
Unsure whether the news or the capitalization scheme is more awesome here.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:19 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 2:56 PM ^
Not official until Green says it himself in the live stream.
Otherwise, this is just more jinxing.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:57 PM ^
What is wrong with people?
January 26th, 2013 at 2:58 PM ^
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! What great news! "various places" is an extremely reputable source. I think this one's in the bag, fellas!!!

Agreed, no one's saying it's concrete by any means, but a recruiting announcement open thread is going to be full of speculation. Ace retweeted it as well, FWIW.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:56 PM ^
on the left. 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, Touch Down Michigan!
January 26th, 2013 at 2:58 PM ^
Let the damn kid announce at 4pm and just shutup people until then. This is pathetic a 4 page thread already.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:00 PM ^

I have a sneaky suspicion that the site is going down and when it comes back we'll see an onslaught of dancing uptons
January 26th, 2013 at 2:59 PM ^
If the media steals this kids moment, that's some serious BS!
January 26th, 2013 at 3:02 PM ^
I predict this site will be down for the rest of the day in about 1 hour.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:02 PM ^
Don't know what you guys are all excited for.
This kid is all Auburn Tiger.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:05 PM ^
we've been waiting for your return
January 26th, 2013 at 3:07 PM ^
haha at least when this guy trolls, he's up front about it.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:08 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 3:40 PM ^
What about all these top recruits going to/most likely going to Ole Miss?
January 26th, 2013 at 3:15 PM ^
The perfect gif for your split personalities...
January 26th, 2013 at 3:07 PM ^
I hope Florida recruits another stud athlete who steals a lap top and gets booted so Auburn can spend their cold hard cash on another meaningful season.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:07 PM ^
when does rodney davis announce?
January 26th, 2013 at 3:08 PM ^
they come in pairs... right?
January 26th, 2013 at 3:12 PM ^
When Ronald Johnson, Diggs, Diamond and Kozan commit.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:10 PM ^
The auburn poster is a Michigan guy who created the username to make fun of the RDT thing. lol calm down.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:12 PM ^

January 26th, 2013 at 3:14 PM ^
Derrick Green decides
Ann Arbor will be his home
Knock on wood of course
January 26th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
Hats are on the table
January 26th, 2013 at 3:20 PM ^
TENNESSEE BILL IS BENT OMG
January 26th, 2013 at 3:27 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 3:30 PM ^
Ours is slightly bent as well, look close
January 26th, 2013 at 3:37 PM ^
So maybe that just leaves Auburn??
January 26th, 2013 at 3:19 PM ^
Ours is farthest from his seat. PANIC!
January 26th, 2013 at 3:24 PM ^
Michigan hat is on his far right. He's right handed. It's a lock.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:41 PM ^
Honestly the hat position has me concerned.
Imagine sitting in that chair behind the mic. If he's right handed, the Auburn hat is the one that's in the most natural position for him to pick up smoothely.
The devil is in the details, people. It's gonna be Auburn, watch.
EDIT: Also the Auburn hat is unique, like he actually put some thought into which Auburn hat he'd select.
The Michigan and Tennessee hats, otoh, are very generic.
We're fucked, guys.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
How did he get Coach Moeller's 1992 hat?
January 26th, 2013 at 3:26 PM ^
I am getting nervous now.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:18 PM ^
And it's only 3:17. We need to get outside more, guys.
January 26th, 2013 at 3:23 PM ^
Have you been out there recently? I prefer my couch.
