My Green prediction

This may just be me reading into the situation too much but...I recall Green saying weeks ago that he knew where he was going but liked the recruiting process so he was still going to take the rest of his visits. Right when he said that I thought that he was blue but because of Hoke's policy of recruits visiting other schools that he was going to wait to commit so he could take the other visits.

I am in the ''if he was 100% blue, he would have already committed'' camp.

This is why I believe he is not coming.

ALL articles on google (if you search Derrick Green) say Michigan the leader.

What is the hold up if this is his case? .... His mom REALLY wants him to play in the south.

I'm right there with you chris.

The hold up is he enjoys the attention. We have three pages on a forum talking about him. If he was committed we wouldn't have this thread. Where's the threads on all the guys that have already verbally committed? You think we're the only ones talking about this kid? His decision is being talked about in forums everywhere. articles on all of the recruiting sites about where will he end up. Give the kid credit he knows how to market himself.

See, I dont really think that is the case. I havent really seen Green 'pimping' himself out on the recruiting trail like most of the kids these days . I honestly think he is just a smart kid, who is really listening to his close friends and family for advice. I give him all the credit in the world, it's just that I cant see him as the type that enjoys attention. Who knows, maybe i am completely wrong. I dont know the kid!

We are all speculating. None of know.

Let's play devils advocate. Let's say he is heading south. Why didn't he just announce that? Why is he leading us on saying Michigan is in the lead. Insisting getting his picture taken with Michigan recruits at the AA game?

He's good freinds with Dawson. We are loaded with o-line talent. We run the type of offense that suits him best. Our competition is Auburn and Tennessee which both have new coaches and are slumping. Michigan is on the rise. Michigan has pretty much lead the whole time. I would be shocked if he goes elsewhere.

Sorry to get off topic but whenever I try to quote someone it turns out like what just happened to uofmchris a few posts above...how do you guys quote something and it appear in the cream box?

I said the exact same things about Treadwell. WE literally have ZERO impact wide recievers. The kid would have walked into school being the #1 WR target. (ok maybe I might be pushing it with that)...but you get my point. Hell...Most, if not everyone had Treadwell locked up as a commit in the summer. I remember that interview Sam Webb conducted with him at the airport. At the time he said he absolutely knew where he wanted to play but wasn't going to announce his decision until he talked it over and had a few more visits with other schools. You could just get the sense he was BLUE.... But things changed. You cant predict what a 17 year old kid is going to do.

I hope Green chooses us! I really do! I am just being really cautious about things at this point.

Not sure but think you just hit the quote button and then type your comment under it.

I truly believe Ole Miss is not on the up and up right now. They were ranked 40th in 2012 according to Rivals. Now all of a sudden they are currently 12th. Something does not look right.

Just hit quote, and type underneath it. If you want to only quote part of the the person, just delete what you don't want. But only delete after the [quote="MichiganFootball13"].

and before the [/quote]. If you delete either of those, it will look like uofmchis' above.

I tried to do it in one post, but when you put

Green tweets that he is going to shock the world tomorrow. Could be messing around but I now feel nauseous.

Yep. I already set myself up for the let down. LOL.

Watch. He will choose USC or some school that was never in the mix.

After his latest tweet I would not be totally surprised Chris.

He gone.

"Shock the world."

[quote="uofmchris"]Hate to say it, but I dont have a good feeling about Green on Saturday. I am going to say we will all be disappointed when he announces his decision. I had a GREAT feeling about Taylor staying, and even called it, but Green... not so much. Sorry to be a negative Nancy. Please please please feel free to bump this if he chooses UofM. [/quote


streaming now...3 hats on table...almost 1800 ooking in..and growing .

Why do we become this infatuated with High School kids?

no frickin clue, but here I sit....sad, huh????

Go Blue!!!

I am suddenly becomming concerned that Green may pick Tn. Only because of proximaty. Green looks like he may be a family guy, kinda. To me, that throws out Auburn leaving only Tn. and Michigan. The weather may be the deciding factor.

Yep, we are pathetic!

WTF is with that suit?

WTH, the stream is interupted for an ad.?

he keeps looking at the auburn hat

Here it comes

BAM!!!!!!

Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wrong on this one...THANK GOD I WAS WRONG!!!!!

Go Blue!!!!!

Hey Joe, YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That made me so nervous when he touched both the UT and Michigan hats and did nothing with the Auburn hat, especially when we left the table to do something.
