[byobbio]

Derrick Green is now a 5* on Rivals.com.

For us stargazers (you know who you are), this is good news!

 

[Ertel]

While we don't exactly get to impress like Arkansas does, I like it when moms are along for campus visits. Means serious business.

I thought Tennessee didn't want 5 star guys anymore?

Lost me there.

But I agree with the second part, especially over the holidays.

Think back to late January, very early February. And I will leave it at that.

I'm glad to see he mentioned the rock. Great job on that once again.

Think he's referencing Otha

Not getting my hopes up....but damn it would be nice to get a RB of this caliber on the Hill again.

It's obvious we have at least a chance at landing Green. Who is our main competition?

 

[mooreaj21]

#1 RB in the nation & a 5* on Rivals now.

The kid had a great visit and his mother loves it here. She plans on coming back with him on his official, cant ask for much more than that at this stage.

Good news. The fact that kids like Green and Nkemdiche are even mentioning us is an awesome thing. I've always believed if we can get a visit, we have a shot. UT's campus blows most away. And this new football facility can only help!

Green, who moves up to the nation's No. 1 running back slot and debuts as a five-star at No. 12, just made it too hard on Rivals.com to keep him outside that range.

"Green looks physically like a college junior," Farrell said. "If you put him in any college uniform right now and told someone who had never seen him that he was a 1,500-yard rusher, they wouldn't blink an eye. Plus he's shown the ability to block and catch passes now, so he's gone from a two-down back to an every-down guy. He's the most physically impressive running back we've seen in awhile."

Need.

Just hope that IF we get him, that he won't be like the last number 1 prospect we got....

Green is not afraid of hard work nor does he want anything promised to him. Hes already head and shoulders above bb.

 

[Ertel]

Wow!! Talk about a jump in the rankings. That's huge!!

Reel in the big fish...

This is just proof that we need to keep the rock painting tradition for bigtime recruits coming up here. It makes an impression on a kid knowing that the fan base wants them there just as much as the coaching staff does. Especially when fans take the time out of their schedule to paint a big ass rock to show them that.

Much love Ertel
