'13 VA RB Derrick Green (Michigan commit)

Guy your quote was from a current commit, not from a current OL at UM. HUGE difference.

By the way, that CURRENT player of ours, is ranked as one of the top 25 underclassmen for Next years draft. Don't think Dawson can match up with Tiny.

All I know is Tiny and Ju'wuan James will both be picked in the first rd next year. Tiny will be in the top 10. Looking past next year and Marcus Jackson is better than anyone Michigan has on their roster or will have on their roster. Mack Crowder is going to be a hell of a center by all accounts and almost won the starting job this year. This oline is outstanding and it is deep.

Tiny has top 10 pick potential
James will be a top 2 round pick
Fulton will be in the top 3 rounds
Stone could fall into the same category
Thats four right there that won't be "7th round or undrafted FA"

and i have said 2 times now that it was a commit, never said it was a current player, there that's 3 times, just for you.

now if you want to pick numbers our underclassman OL guy is top 15 for this years draft overall and #2 OL for 2014 should he stay.

as for your comparison, comapring a high school senior to a draft ready guy is just kind of silly in and of itself so i'll leave that alone and see if you can figure out why

Hm, I guess I would side on the fact that D. Green would know that Tiny can actually play and has in the SEC, versus a recruit who hasn't played a down for Michigan. Big difference there. You think he is going to side with logic or irrational thoughts?

All of our starters on the o line will be drafted. I appreciate the links. I like to read all sides when it comes to recruiting. However I'll take Hubbs against anyone. He says we're tied with Michigan and mom likes TN. We like our chances as much as you probably like yours. Best of luck.

just for curiosity sake, and i'm not being facetious about this, but could you provide something from a reliable source or something that statistically backs up the claim by many that this line is all NFL caliber?

i'm not by any means trying to say he's coming to UM and not UT, hell i don't know where the kid is going, i'm just going off of word he says rather than someone close to him. i'm not doubting the info but i'm more of a horses mouth kind of guy rather than guy that repeats words from horses mouth.

Sorry to get off topic on the subject of who's oline is better. However, does Derrick have other family other than his mother that lives in Va? Anyone have information on what career interests he has other than football? What school in play offers him the best in education? We know we have the lead over anyone with the eye candy (see girls of Tennessee thread);:

so what you're saying is, playing with a guy for one year that is a good player(@UT), no doubt, compared to playing the same one year with a guy at the same position who is rated much higher by NFL scouts(@UM) is a reason he'll pick UT? please explain that one to me, the math just doesn't add up. add in the fact that a guy that is coming in at the same time is a good friend of his, for you know life after these guys leave, where does the logic lead you then?

Derrick Green's Football Recruiting Profile

TIFWIW, as of here he says a business major but i've seen nothing else about it to be honest with you.

education wise, according to business week at least, UM is rated #8 while UT is rated #60.

4 out of 5 starters on our offensive line next year played in either the Army all American game are under Armour game. If not the best offensive line next year near the very top. Also his mom likes Tennessee better than Michigan.

If academic pedigree is an important consideration to either Derrick or his mother, Michigan will win. Michigan, like most Big 10 institutions, is a "public ivy," whereas UT is a mid-tier land grant university.

Has there been any quotes regarding green bonding beyond his visit with any of our commitments or current team??

Make no mistake this info with him and the michigan commit is a part of the puzzle. How much it matters depends on if he has any similar contacts on our team

delusional fans need not apply



obviously you know something that is different than the words coming out of his own mouth so you could be right



considering this OL commit has become really close friends with him, M has the top OL class this year and NFL caliber OL players already, and UT brought in 0 OL last year and only 3 so far coming next year, i would see his mother wanting him to have the best chance of success pretty high up there too.

Oh plus telling Rivals many times over that UM is his leader

Nah..telling uM rivals that means zilch. If that was so much the case why not committ and enroll in a few weeks?

Now, now Fleetwood. That is a ranking of MBA programs, not undergrad programs in business. I am sure that there is a strong correlation, in terms of overall departmental quality, but those findings are not entirely relevant to a high school senior embarking upon his freshman year of college.

fair enough but that can be just as subjective as star rating IMO. at the same time i don't doubt or knock UTs O-line in the coming years because what UM put out there this year and next years line is not going to be the best in the country but then again, what statistic do you use to measure ranking of an O-line?
