Derrick Green [Open] Thread
Today is the day. In about 4 hours from now at 4PM EST, Hermitage RB Derrick Green will announce his decision. Finalists include Michigan, Tennessee, and Auburn.
Story from newspaper that will cover the announcement live: http://bit.ly/VoJlH6
Mod edit: Changed the name of the thread to discourage the otherwise inevitable onslaught of board posts. Unless Green or someone close to the situation confirms his choice before the announcement, there doesn't need to be another thread posted. If someone wants to start an announcement open thread sometime close to 4:00, go for it. JGB.

In my world, dirty things always take precedence over high school kids putting on a hat at a presser.

somthing tells me this thread will be long and epic
January 26th, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
of Tennessee or Auburn if they have them? Are they confident that D Green might go to either school? Or are they conceding? etc.
January 26th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
do you think they know anything more than we do?
January 26th, 2013 at 1:42 PM ^
believed they would be going to their respective schools or are they thinking he's coming to Michigan, etc.
January 26th, 2013 at 1:08 PM ^
Anyone have a live stream to the announcement? or is it not being broadcast?
January 26th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
Sources like his twitter page?
January 26th, 2013 at 1:19 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 1:17 PM ^
Yeah, we're totally not obsessed.
January 26th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
I haven't found a lot of chatter on Tennessee blogs about Derrick Green. It seems they've conceided him to Michigan. However, apparently the Vols sent four coaches to visit him this week.

I really appreciate it.

"Can Michigan steal RB Green from SEC?" It assumes that Green's is the SEC's in the first place! He's from Virginia (not SEC territory!) & he never committed to anyone in the SEC so they have no more claim to them than Slippery Rock does. Here's ESPN's headline: http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/college-football/rumors/post?id=698

For most of his recruitment, it has been assumed that he would go to the SEC - Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, somewhere.

Since this thread has a few hours before its logical and new sh*t has come to light I found it interesting that our beloved David Cone was ranked 1 spot ahead of Colin Kaepernick according to Rivals in 2006. Food for thought, Just think, it coulda been him... #Cone #FebreezeInTheKitchen

January 26th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
anyone notice his twitter page has a link to the columbus dispatch page?
January 26th, 2013 at 2:10 PM ^
Don't know if its real or not but scout is saying he chose michigan, http://michigan.scout.com/2/1261155.html
January 26th, 2013 at 2:12 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 2:28 PM ^
It's not. Look at the description under the picture.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:33 PM ^
I think it is. It says "Derrick Green just announced his college destination." If it was intentionally early wouldn't it say "Derrick Green's decision has been leaked" or something? On the other hand it is still up.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 2:14 PM ^
Scout is known for doing shitty things like that.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
Yep. They went back and forth like a couple children.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
January 26th, 2013 at 2:31 PM ^
As much as it is obsessive the way we follow the recruiting, if we acknowledge that this is so then the "major recruiting sites" should give the kid his moment.
January 26th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
if true, but why steal a kids moment like that? they couldn't wait the two hours?
