'13 VA RB Derrick Green (Michigan commit)

[VolFromNashville]

Green will be in Orange.

Good, good. Hope it's Tennessee Orange though!

IMO we end up with Green and Turman, and that would make me very happy.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I heard it first hand that many in the AD believe that Green will indeed be a Vol.

 

[Voodoomonkey]

Not so sure he is. This draft is loaded with WR's

Not really. At least not in the senior class. And who knows what juniors will declare at this point?

and ones who have started a full season. He needs more experience

Experience isn't really one of the top things scouts and teams look for in skill position athletes. Sure, it's a plus, but teams are mostly looking for raw ability, athleticism, and potential first and foremost from wideouts and runningbacks.

and if he continues dropping passes that wont look good.

Meh. Didn't hurt Julio Jones too much. He had a tendency to fight the ball a bit in college and still isn't the smoothest in the ball skills department. Didn't stop Atlanta from giving up a ton to trade into the top 10 to grab him.

He may leave but definitely not a lock that he does and if the draft is tomorrow he wont go top 10.

Of course there's no lock that he'll leave. But I'd say the chances are extremely thin. He has a kid. He's dealt with a serious injury before. And elite skill players rarely exhaust their eligibility anymore.

Would not hurt my feelings if Bray left but really want to keep everything else in tact.

I'd rather keep Bray one more season after this one so the Vols don't have to travel into a tough schedule with an unknown starting at QB a season earlier than expected. But maybe that's just me.

And that is direct feedback from Green and his family. This is the one Dooley and Co wanted and it looks like they got him.

So awesome if they indeed land him. I hope Green would then be an EE and be here for spring practice.

I really hope your right.:thumbsup:

Any idea when he's suppose to announce?

Scouts are more forgiving than fans man. The kid has a world of ability, and they realize he hasn't played in a year. They wanna see that his ability is still there, and that he makes it through the whole year healthy. Both things happening means he will likely be one of the first Wr's taken. He will only get better as the year goes.


Huge need on D. Green.

Record doesn't matter, but staff staying in tact - especially DD and JG are key.

Anything can happen if they are shown the door - which I do not expect to happen barring a losing season and losses to either Vandy or Kentucky.

Dooley and the internal higher-ups (starting with Hamilton) were always going to give him 4 years to get his program going.

Sometime in October is the last I heard...

He is an EE so it will be soon and it will be final.

Nice, him being an EE is huge

 

[SpringBokVol]

Yes it is. He will start as a freshman - or at least have the chance to.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

SBV giving me warm and fuzzy feelings. (no homo... I think :unsure: )

Hopefully he is as good as advertised. I don't get my hopes up because anything can happen..

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Me too

But I have been wrong before.

I think you are mistaken @ that.

If UT signs Green....


You can go full homo and no one will care or notice Nick

Kudos to Dooley and Graham. They saw who they wanted and didn't take the safe route and take two good prospects, but are getting two great prospects.

Interesting

If this happens, it would be the final piece.

hmy: How many times?








j/k..I will take your word for it b/c you,OCI, and Skeet know more than the rest of us..:wink2:

Green and Turman. Monster RB class, IMO.
