I really want to believe---you think the kid is playing this up and going to spring it as a surprise?

Something is not right about it. Why not have a single UT pic in the bunch? He was here for the UF game while gameday was here. I would think the photo ops would have been plentiful. Only other thing I could come up with is he eliminated us at some point and removed the pics. I honestly have no idea if there have ever been any UT pics among his group on there. 1st time I looked was today.

We're you here for the Gabe Write fiasco? His recruitment along with his little show he put on during his announcement was ludacris.

IIRC...didn't we have a Texas guy one time commit to Fulmer while in a hot tub flossing jewelry? I might be thinking of something else, been a while. But I've seen FAR FAR worse than Green. But I do respect your stance. I'm not big on drama myself.

My bad, they commuted to Majors not Fulmer.

"Double trouble at Dallas Carter
In 1988, Dallas Carter was the toast of Texas. The team was crowned state champions, and its stars were being courted by major Division I schools. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Gil LeBreton, safety Derric Evans memorably signed his letter of intent to Tennessee while sitting in a hot tub, celebrating with a glass of wine. Evans didn't make it to Tennessee; he and another Dallas Carter teammate, Gary Edwards, instead took a detour to jail for their role in a series of armed robberies of video stores and fast-food joints."

I mean out of the three choices...not to down Michigan but we offer the most...considering Jay Graham's track record...although I will say it is curious that Green's not given word one about Tennessee. Really curious.

i think you guys are way overanalyzing. if this kid eliminated UT, he probably would have come out and said so.

Maybe so I'm just nervous as all get out....I mean Butch had that 3 hour in home with him earlier this week was it? This guy to me is the difference in us getting back to where we need to be...the road to getting back to relevance could start with him IMO

Fair enough. What would be your thinking be as to why he has pics of every school he is considering(and some he is not), yet none of Tennessee? Forgot the camera? Phone was broke? His dog ate them? :p Just curious.

true_blue is the vibe on your boards pretty positive---the perception I get is that Green has pretty played this close to the vest and is playing the game...you think that's accurate?

Have to say no on that seeing as he definitely got a pic with the rock when it was all painted up for him. It even made it into a rivals article. So I don't know what's up....

Well, I don't read too much into Green's tweets, but I'm still calling this guy for Michigan based on all the articles I've read. I think CJG did a great job keeping us in this one, but the overall instability surrounding our program in the recent past seems to be affecting our ability to lock down guys like Green.

That all changes in the 2014 cycle, IMO.

because of reasons i stated earlier, (pryor, hart) nobody is counting their chickens. they are as nervous as all of you guys because just like tn we need a great back with the new offence that hoke is going to be running. richrod, with his spread has set michigan football back a few years and we are just now starting to get back on the scene. trust me, i used to get so mad at 2-3 losses a year but i will never ever be that way again.

Unlike us, Michigan does have another RB committed for this class already. 4 star 5'11 215lbs rated 15th best RB in the country.
