One of the nation's top running backs, Derrick Green (Richmond, Va./Hermitage) narrowed his list of schools to six earlier in the summer. Green qualified what he is looking for in a program.

"Right now, I'm just trying to find out what school I have the best relationship with, where I can go and see some early playing time," Green told Jason Stamm of HokieHaven.com. "I'm definitely looking at the depth chart more, see who they have coming in and in my recruiting class and stuff like that. Also, definitely academics."

Auburn, Michigan, Ole Miss, Oregon, Tennessee and Virginia Tech currently make up Green's final six.

Two of those programs, Tennessee and Virginia Tech, have yet to add a running back to their 2013 class. Of those two, Green speaks very highly of Virginia Tech.

"They're still high up there," Green told Stamm. "They're definitely close to home. Just their fan base, they support me a lot. I know if I go there, I could definitely get on the field early and get a lot of early playing time. I have a great relationship with Coach Shane (Beamer) and Frank Beamer. They've been recruiting me since my sophomore year. I have a good relationship with the coaching staff and every time I go out there, I just have a real good feeling."

If Virginia Tech is considered Green's current leader, a new program is entering the conversation while trying overtake the Hokies.

Green will take an unofficial visit to Georgia this weekend according to Stamm. The Bulldogs are still searching for a running back after Derrick Henry (Yulee, Fla./Yulee) decommitted from the program.

So is at Georgia this weekend or Barn or both?

@rivalsmike: Derrick Green visiting #Auburn this weekend would worry me if I was a #Michigan fan. Don't see #Georgia as threat unless blown away

I don't mean to sound negative but if someone could help me figure out why people think UT is in a good position here I would appreciate it.

I see us toward the back of that top group.

To be honest , I haven't felt good about any of the backs that we are after. Well expect for maybe Kamara. And the reason for that is only because he has connections here. Other than that , we get talked about a good bit with no real shot at this point. I hope we can change some minds when the season starts.

I think I remember Skeet coming on here after his visit this summer, and said that Green takes notes on a pad of every school that he visits and writes down the pros and cons of each school. Skeet said that Tennessee was the only school that he did not have anything written down in the con list. So, I can believe that he may have us in his top 2.

you don't think of the cons immediately when you are on a trip visiting....probably went home and filled out a page or two in that column

Not sure thats true..If your on your visit and your getting ignored, not getting the love from coachs you expect, dont mesh with the players your hanging with or not impressed with with Facilities or anything else.

If OCI is right and we only take 1 RB, I hope it is Green. I think he is the most complete every down RB in this class. If your only going to take 1, he has to be able to do it all and make an impact from day 1.

C'mon on bro, give Auburn more credit than that. They ain't getting caught. One step ahead my friend and too many outs

I think eventually they get busted for something. Way too much smoke and seems like something new comes out every week or 2. I guarantee there is much, much more and hopefully it comes out.
