The additional visits are good news IMO. The main competition is Michigan, and the longer he waits to announce the decision after his OV to Michigan the better IMO.

OVing to the Barn on Nov. 9 for their game against UGA. Then, he's OVing to Oregon against Standford on Nov. 17.

In summary, DG has OVed to UT (Sept. 14), will then OV to Michigan (10/19) against tOSU, and then the two OVs mentioned above. That leaves one OV. Ole Miss and Va Tech are the remaining schools with interest.

vol fans ..go to Bleacher Report and read what Andrew Kuhla, a resident of royal oak michigan, wrote why green would be better off going to mich than an SEC school...comical...and a might bit homerism...but hey it's his week to write a column...
appears some of these institutions are selling that playing aginst the best players in the SEC would not be in their best interest...same as clemson and Nkemdiche...surely these recruits are not getting scared off because the competition is too tough...

I agree. Defense at this point is more important. They absolutely need an elite caliber RB in the worst way, but when you compare the LB and Corner positions on defense and what they have at RB on the roster, I'd say getting elite caliber LB's and Corners far outweigh getting an elite RB. Again all three are big needs, but none are bigger than LB and CB. Linebacker recruiting has especially been bad in last year's class and this years.

Good post.
I think all three are critical at this point.
Offensively, we need a punishing 'back w/ speed. One cannot overemphasize the critical need of a big, fast, powerful, downhill 'Back.
Defensively, both (CB & LB) positions have been exposed. Bonner ('12) was good p/u. In '13 I had hoped we could pull two of these four---Alexander, Fuller, Willis, and Ramsey. Lawson or Ngakoue in addition to Johnson ('12) and Maggitt ('12) would be steps in the right direction.

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Hermitage has continued to live up to its reputation, starting the season 5-0 and beating Varina 20-17 in overtime. There's no way anyone takes the district title from Hermitage, which has its sights set on a state championship.

MVP: Hermitage's Derrick Green. He averages 118 yards per game, and Hermitage's offense starts with him.

I was hoping he would go to michigan and then realize Tennessee was a better fit for him. Then commit a week after.
The later he annouces the more chances there are for us to lose him. A lose to mizzu or vandy could happen. And it would be better for us if he was already commited if it were to happen.
I know Oregon is just a fun trip across the country and that he doesn't fit into their offense. But it does worry me that hes going to Oregon in late nov. and not miami or somewhere that stays warm.
The Barn is burning and the war eagle has been shot (sorry SC tigar) so auburn should almost certainly be out of it by now and hes still planing an OV, idk what it i$ about auburn.
But imo nothing short of a miracle would get him to commit to anyone but Tennessee. And a bama win should mean a closed deal.

They are currently ranked #1 in the state but they should never not win their district, they play terrible teams. Varina is the one decent team on their schedule.

That is what they need to do. They are still way behind at Linebacker and cornerback in my opinion and this class (up to this point) is not addressing that issue very well IMO. They are adding bodies but I dont see much upswing in the level of talent they are bringing in.

Article on Bleacher Report take it for what it's worth but it said that Michigan was the best place for green. It was better than two struggling teams in Auburn(1-4) and Tennessee(3-2). And that Michigan(3-2) was a way better fit! Oh gotta love Bleacher Report

That thread is worthless to me. Too many idiot posters on there. It takes hours to sift through all the trolling on that thread and find any information from anyone halfway reliable. I know what I know about the situation and I'll leave it at that. Do I believe Gruden will be the next HC at Tennessee if the job opens up this year? Yes. And you wouldn't see him ignore elite talents who want to switch their commitment to Tennessee either.
