I'm just not as confident as I was before.
Hearing that "Tennessee was with Derrick longer than Michigan was yesterday" makes me feel a little nervous, but could mean almost nothing.

What I once thought was a lock for Michigan isn't looking too great. I'm just expecting the worse I guess.
Either way, an amazing class is coming in. Praying Derrick Green is on it though.

I find it funny that 247's Tennessee site is so optimistic. Definitely got to give them props for the homerism. Auburn is the team to worry about

Any old dudes remember the "yellow and blue make green" ziploc bag commercial. Just made me think about that.

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.

I'm sorry...I don't want to be the grammar police, but this is the second time you did it. You expect the worst. One thing can be worse than another, but you don't expect the worse.

I've read a few times that it will be streamed on his local paper's website. I can't remember the name of the paper right now though.

Thanks! I'll look around when the time comes. I still however think all signs point to Michigan. The only negative I can possible think of is the conference play. However when you consider Tennessee and Auburn, you can't and shouldn't consider them top tier teams in the SEC for the next 4 years or so. Those teams will most likely be down a few possessions in arguably half of their conference games and I wouldn't suggest that the correct time to pound the football.

"Isn't looking too great" based on what, exactly?

If it's down to you and Tennessee I truly can't imagine him going to UT....He seems to have held pretty steadfast in his leader through the last couple months, so if I'm a UM fan I'd be pretty stoked.

I know that no matter the decision, I will unequivocally still hate Tennessee. I will still hate Phil Fulmer for voting us so low in the '97 coaches poll that Nebraska got to split the NC. I will still hate that they added so many seats in their renovation that the were bigger then the big house for a couple season (until we added more seats). And last but not least will still hate that obnoxiously annoying rocky top song, what a terrible thing to have to hear over and over again as a fan/player. Other then that, I really dont mind them

Even though Garnett said Michigan and Stanford were 50-50, TVH knew Garnett wasn't going to Michigan about 2 days before the announcement - he heard rumblings from people in Garnett's camp.
Not only has Green not given any indications that Michigan is anything less than his leader, but neither TVH nor any of the other insiders have heard a thing that would indicate that Green was leaning elsewhere - in fact, they're all still pretty confident about Michigan.

Rico,
Everything will workout this time. Garnett spurned us and now its our turn. Karma is in our favor. Plus he named us his leader and has done everything said he was going to regarding his recruitment. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and stand up guy. Plus if its a battle between us and Tennessee then I'm not worried...and you shouldn't be either. Deveon is not worried either.

Garnett was a west coast kid who liked Stanford all the way through...and Stanford was a good team, better than Michigan.
Green is a kid that had Michigan in the top few all the way through, and his other leader Auburn has self-destructed, with a coaching change to boot.
Of course you can never tell with kids, but I like our chances with Green far more than I did with Garnett.
