Rivals Headline Re Derrick Green (Good)
The front page headline on Rivals: "Green says Michigan has the edge."
Sam Webb has been saying that we are the team to beat for sometime, but this is the first time that Green has confirmed that status. We can definitely use both him and Deveon Smith to bolster a shaky RB situation (especially if Fitz cannot come back to full strength).

MGoBlog likes our chances of getting Derrick Green as well. "They" also liked our chances of getting Treadwell. But Leon McQuay? Not so much. Take from this post what you will.

Didn't realize that he had this great straight line speed...

According to ESPN, he runs a 4.31 40-yard dash, which tops all RBs.

He doesn't.

Forty-yard dash times are misreported all the time. That makes him almost Chris Johnson fast as a high schooler. Yeah...it's not accurate.

With a 30 mph tailwind.
No way his film shows 4.31 speed.

Green reminds me a little of Chris Perry...but bigger and possibly faster too.

I really like Green, but I am wary that he is open to the possibility of additional visits to other schools. He should by all means do what he has to do, but given how much attention the Michigan coaches have shown him and the current state of his other primary contenders, I am not holding my breath on him since he hasn't already committed.
