Derrick Green in Michigan

  • Holtzheartbucks said...

    Over the last month or so, maybe just two weeks Clemson was the clear leader with OSU right behind them. Clemson picked up a big time running back and pretty much told Green "sorry you waited too long, the inn's closed". Skip ahead to this past Wednesday and news comes out that Green isn't going to make it to Osu's Friday Night Lights because as Green put it on twitter "the Osu coaching staff has decided to go in a different direction". With Osu's case many are thinking they're just holding a spot for either Vonn Bell or possibly a big-time wide receiver as well as another olinemen.

    Thanks for the info. Isnt he the one that said he wanted to wait till after sighing day to decides?

    He said he was gonna decide on his birthday, which is in February, after signing day. Not a smart move on his part especially with kids committing so early this year.

  • I believe Greens reasoning for wanting to hold off on his commitment as late as he had said, was to get his teammates exposure. Really respectable on his behalf, but can be risky for his own recruitment.

    Jordan Diamond did the same thing last year. Class act because it's for his teammates, but frustrating for the coaches involved.

    Correct.

    It is really good to get this kind of talent from out of the B1G region and get it into the B1G. Wish the school wasn't Michigan, but oh well, it is what it is. Congrats on the imminent pick up.

    Thanks man. Kid is a hell of a player and fits Michigan's scheme perfectly. The combo of the RBs in the class and the OL classes the last two years will be deadly.

    It'll be a lot of fun seeing the match ups in coming years, I just hope Michigan wins all of them biggrin. Biggest thing I want to see is respect between the players though.

    Can't stand Denard after how he acted during the game last year and the over celebrating at the end. I don't like that crap. Show it with your play, not silly antics.

    The bomb thing? That's something they did after every practice, not something just for the OSU game. As for the eating thing, I'm not really sure, I wasn't a big fan of it. He prays to his deceased brother after every touchdown he scores, so you can't harp him on that.

    Nah it was the whole "eating" thing after every damn play haha. Didn't know they always did the bomb drop, so I'll give that a pass.

    The eating thing was symbolic to "We're hungry for a win against OSU and a BCS bowl." It soon after became a phrase used for one of Michigan's receiver's program to help end hunger in Pahokee, Florida.

    Didn't bother me. Shows how big of a deal Ohio State had been recently and how important beating a 6-5 Ohio State team was. Hoke knew he had to get that one, and made sure his best player got the message.

    I did some research the other day, trying to find a running back that compares to Derrick Green physically and had similar tape because it's very rare that you find a RB that is 6' ish, 215-220 lbs and runs a 4.4ish 40.

    So as I looked through all the databases on Scout and Rivals (Simply because they go back the farthest) the only running back that matched that was Trent Richardson.

    Now I'm not saying Derrick Green is going to be Trent Richardson in college, but their films are very similar, Green's actually being slightly better in a couple aspects. Green, similar to Richardson, is a workout warrior who is built more like a LB than a RB and is extremely fast.

    So say all you want "He isn't that good" but he actually is and is a truly rare prospect in terms of athleticism and physical stature.

    fail Thomas Tyner, also Derrick Green is pretty high on Oregon from what I am hearing out west,but good luck any way.
