    I think if he went to TN, he would end up on our local news like a bunch of UT players do, its almost ironic that there uniforms are orange. I have worked in Knoxville for 14 years and worked on the lipstick they tried to put on Neyland stadium, UT has lost a bunch of players even there QB I dont think UT has a shot, but AU or FSU scares me after reading a piece on Ty Issac's recruitment where one school offered him a car and another gave him twins as his escort

    Where did you read about the Isaac stuff?

    There's really nothing anybody can say to make you feel better if you're basing your pessimism on the fact that Tennessee's assistants spent more time with him than Michigan's. That's about as thin as it gets. If Michigan's had spent more time, you'd be worried that it was because they spent more time trying to sell their case to Green, whereas Tennessee's coaches didn't need to stay as long because Green told them what they wanted to hear.

    That level of paranoia and pessimism...there's really no coming back from.

    Yeah I see what you mean. I'm going to worry no matter what. Just figured I'd throw it out there and see what you guys would say about it.

    after reading it I googled it, and the ND board here one poster suggested it was Michigan, but I think Marice Clarrett gave that away lol

    VOD: RB Ty Isaac was offered a car on a recruiting trip (and other tales from the recruiting trail) | Dr. Saturday - Yahoo! Sports

    From the blog Dr. Saturday: We haven’t done a Video of the Day in awhile, but with National Signing Day coming up in a couple weeks, we thought this one would be appropriate. ESPN asked some of the nation’s top recruits about their craziest recruiting … Continue reading →

  • There was an article in the Detroit Free Press where Adam Friedman, the mid-Atlantic guy for Rivals, predicted Green to Michigan. Interesting and quick read if anyone wants a look.

    Very nice read.

    I also read yesterday that the running back coach that actually visited Derrick Green at his home got a job offered to him by the Cowboys? If he does go, that will probably eliminate Auburn.

    The Tennessee coaches were in his house longer than the Michigan coaches, but as a lot of people said, it means nothing. FredJack may have just walked in the door, waited for a cup of coffee, told Mrs. Green her coffee was like Starbucks, but bolded, darker, and stayed hot longer, then gave Derrick the fax number where to send his LOI and walked out.

    Edit: It's also possible Borges dropped a deuce in their powder room and told Fred that they had to get out quick...

    Anything can happen in recruiting, but this one just has a Michigan vibe.

  • UT had to meet with Green longer because here is how the meeting went with the UM coaches. Derrick are you blue? Yes coaches. Good we will be in touch.

  • Green was with the UT coaches longer because they have to make up the most ground in his recruitment. biggrin

  • Why don't we just take the kid at his word. He has said time and again Michigan is his leader and after setting his announcement date I see no reason for anything to change. He likes the coaching staff at Michigan and sees the chance to play as a freshman in front of 110,000 fans. I for one see this young man picking Michigan 100%.

    Sorry, I read numerous tweets from Tennessee pages saying they were with Derrick Green a lot longer than Michigan.

    Yeah, I'm the type of person who expects the worse, and hopes for the best, so I'll definitely be worrying.

    Makes sense they were there alot longer...they have ALOT of ground to make up and they know it...

    Hell, the last line in that sounded positive for us. Sounds like the coach was a bit rushed in the visit - maybe Green had more questions that didn't get answered?

    Yeah, I got a positive vibe except for the whole thing about how he hasn't made his mind up yet. Hopefully I'm just overanalyzing that though lol

    Done. But 2 posts, both on saying that Green won't go to Tennessee, is a little suspicious.

    Yeah, I know. He's a troll, I'm sure. I appreciate the point though.

    And no, its not me.
