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.

And West Coast analysts from the services (247, Scout, etc) who followed Garnett all still predicted him going to Stanford because they had been the favorite for so long. So Michigan fans were getting excited based on Garnett telling commits he was coming and them tweeting hints, but the analysts for the most part very much felt it was Stanford.

David Dawson has repeatedly tweeted #GreenGoBlue. I like our chances Rico

He's also said he's nervous about the announcement.

This is one of those times when I love living in Mountain Time. I only have to wait until 2pm. Less time waiting after I wake up.

Recruiting is a lot easier when your competition repeatedly shoots itself in the foot.

I also read a writer for Michigan from Rivals was going to be there

Not that it means anything, but SWebb wasn't on the Michigan Insider show today due to a "last minute assignment". Could he be in VA?? Who knows...but if he is, I have a hard time believing Webb would go out there if he wasn't almost 100% sure Green=Blue...

I had the same thought when I listened to the WTKA podcast this morning..

Mix the color Yellow and Blue. What do you get? Green.

Do we consider it a win if we're chosen by default? Who cares... As long as we get him!!

It would be a combination of him/his family loving Michigan and seeing a great opportunity, as well as not having plausible secondary options. This would not be a "chosen by default" scenario in my opinion. Our coaches have been recruiting Green extremely hard since we lost out on Isaac. I forget who pointed it out, but he is the only RB we've had visit Ann Arbor since May. That's some serious dedication by our coaches, and a strong indicator of how they feel about him.
I'm not going to sit here and say the situation at Auburn and Tennessee won't contribute to his decision, but Green really likes Michigan.

I just don't get the line that he chooses UT or AU because they are in the SEC. Big Whoop, unless you are Bama, LSU or UGA I don't see why these other schools keep using that. If he comes to Michigan and has a great career in the B1G the NFL will find him anyways

Exactly. Besides, it wasn't as if Michigan was ONLY up against Auburn and Tennessee. Green was courted by pretty much everyone with a football program. That's a win.

Really hope we land this kid, and obviously those words don't really do my feelings justice.
Kid could a beast for us next year, along side Deveon Smith and that is a mighty impressive haul.
Still nervous, no matter what anyone says.
