Wolverine247 Board

He's that style of RB that defenders just hate to go against. He's short, compact, and agile... it's almost like trying to wrestle a wild boar. He leaves no numbers for you to hit, it's all head and shoulders or thighs.

I think he'll be close to top 50, or higher.

If there's one thing 247 always says, it's that they aren't afraid to correct a mistake. Anybody could see that Green was the best RB on either team during the Army week.

We know what type of player he is. We'd be just as excited even if he was a 2*.. That said, it's just nice to see our commits/players we are in on get national recognition.

Yeah, personally I don't care... my response was just what I seen out of Green. But I do think that high recruiting rankings are noticed by future commits & bringing in high recruiting classes sets you up for better classes in the future. So him moving up 100 spots does help in that way.

The kids take pride in their rankings, however meaningless they might be. I do agree that landing "5 star" kids does get your team a certain kind of exposure.

Just look at USC, that's the only thing they have going for them. If they signed 15 4 stars would anybody be talking about them?

I would say yea because kids were talking about us with our 15 4 stars. Kids noticed us, USC is still the sexier destination that's what also plays into their notoriety.

Lets be honest...when they are 'our' kids, it is nice to get objective national validation that they are awesome. Whether it is meaningful or not is an entirely different discussion.

From what I say of him, he looks like a top 5 running back and top 50 player, no question.

No denying USC was talked about, probably the loudest. My point was UM was still coming out of recruits mouth as well because for a time we were #1 and been top 5 for a very long time. Look at older interviews, kids stated that.

We don't know that the other rankings are Scout and Rivals, btw. 247 could be using different ones for their composite.

I also have never personally stepped foot on the moon. I still believe it's there.

Seriously though, they may use other sites in addition, and I'm not sure how many, but c'mon now.

Haha. I understand and respect that. That's why I didn't mention the name of the site in the OP.

Green and Smith would be a GREAT RB haul. (PS: Not discounting Shallman, I just think he ends up elsewhere)

Now we can tell Derrick that if he comes here he will run behind the nation's top Tackle prospect.
