'13 VA RB Derrick Green (Michigan commit)

[BigOrangeD]

Wow timing is everything. I say no to green and I'm full retard then a few pages later its the prevailing opinion. Dang!

I laughed out loud.:lolabove:

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So there are people who would not want to have Green in the backfield with Hurd and Lane? Please explain why.

 

[govols24]

Would he count against a particular signing class or just against the overall 85? Or both?

just the 85 because he would be a transfer... if im not mistaken

 

[jjay2518]

No thanks. He won't see the field by the time he's eligible. Hurd, Paulk, possibly a third back from this year, and whatever stud RBs we get next year. It'll just be one less recruit we can take next year because we'll be that much closer to 85.

I like your sense of humour.

You are talking about a guy that all of volnation would have been more than happy to get last year. #8 player in the nation or rb, cant remember. And you dont want him? At all?

 

[VolFromNashville]

He's got pudgy thighs.
(There's no charge for that eval, you're welcome).

Is that an orange wristband he's wearing?

Vol.

nope

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Gonna get/is too big to be a great back.

Nope, do not want. He was popular because he was rated so highly. He was borderline too big in high school, showed up out of shape to Michigan, and hasn't broken into the depth chart.

 

[MarathonVol]

I say pull the ole Al Wilson switcharoo. Bring him in as a downhill RB and convince him the money is smashing heads as a MiLB'er.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Let him eat and make him a beastly FB like Copeland at LSU.

He would be a helluva fullback. Something tells me if we did that he'd be throwing a fit and trying to transfer again though.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

let him eat and make him a beastly fb like copeland at lsu.

dt imo.

 

[NormalVol]

I'd take him. He is better than the vast majority of our current running backs even if he's never the workhorse everyone thought he could be. Raid the U (of M)!

 

[bigl3327]

This is a guy that many analysts considered to be the #1 high school back in the country last year and left volnation heartbroken when he chose Michigan. And now we get a bunch of don't wants? Smh

 

[MockingVol]

Well if he doesn't work out at RB he could always be a DT or something

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

A year of good strength and conditioning to whip him into shape and he will be good to go.

I think I'll leave this one up to Butch. He gets paid the big bucks to make these decisions.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Let him eat and make him a beastly FB like Copeland at LSU.

I thought Butch's offense didn't use a fullback.

 

[BODACIOUS]

But now we're aiming for the stars, not wishing on them.

 

[Ron Swanson]

He just hasn't found the right FB.

 

[Ertel]

Wow timing is everything. I say no to green and I'm full retard then a few pages later its the prevailing opinion. Dang!

You infected the group! Im still pro green. i didnt have a problem with you not wanting him, just the reasoning sounded like you were a jilted lover not a football fan. Im actually more upset with your eval on emma watson lol we cool brah?

 

[kw3953]

Let him eat and make him a beastly FB like Copeland at LSU.

Copeland was oh so close to being a Vol. Although, he probably would not have been a FB here.

 

[The Breakerboy]

You know he's whining about carries. Do you really think he'll go for that? Plus he's not really a rough and rumble type of player.
