'13 VA RB Derrick Green (Michigan commit)

[Fleetwood1104]

Sarcasm meter must be broken.

long night last night so yeah i completely missed it :hi:

 

[sanddune50]

Is this dude even transferring?

I sware this & the Michael Dyer thread may be the biggest waist of time

Think someone made too many return trips to the punch bowl at the tailgate yesterday.

I have a question. Why is everybody so anti Green now? Before he committed to Michigan, he was the best recruit we could get. We are recruiting James and Scott at RB so why would we not want a consensus 5* RB but settle for a 4*? Doesn't make sense. As I have said before just because he has not excelled at Michigan, does not mean he couldn't come here and be a stud.

JMO but…

1. He was always overrated. He may have been worth the risk last year because we desperately needed a RB. But I never thought he was 5star material.

2. Since he'd have to sit out a year, he couldn't help us anyway, and I'm hoping we'll get one of the few remaining '14 RB prospects, who can play next year.

3. He's always had weight issues and it looks like he's losing that battle. The last thing we need is another sack of potatoes taking up a roster spot.

4. And this is the biggest problem…He hasn't indicated he's planning to transfer, so there's no use worrying about it. Lots of players complain about PT, but doesn't mean they'll actually transfer.

I really believe that Williams kid has the potential to be a stud SEC RB. Hoping we can get him.

Well I think his plea for more carries has been answered. He's played quite a bit today against Ohio State

 

[smokeyman15]

Looked pretty average too, IMO. And I'm not one to bash because he didn't come here. I thought he looked nice coming outta high school.

Y'all played a good game last night. Made the trip with my son. Next year for sure

Hope he's happy with the PT he's getting there.....

We may be happy we did not get him. He has not been very impressive.

Read this thread, this was called out before he got in school.

He looked really slow in the Army high school all-american game. I was kind of disappointed then.

I feel like he is another Lendale White. Big, strong, fast but only if he watches his weight.

 

[allvol123]

Glad he chose Michigan.

We're filled up with slow ineffective skill players already.

We lack a power back. Wouldn't mind having someone his size on third down

 

[RockVol]

Is there a chance he will transfer here?

No

No

Thanks, I was just curious as to why this thread had so many comments about him complaining about pt, ect.

I think Hurd will be just as effectiveon short yardage. If he falls forward its 3 yards.

Tom smith > Derrick green!
Jk I'd take him. He was a freshman playing behind a bad O-line against an undefeated team.

 

[P810sDaMan18]

I told you guys last year how he wasn't that good and I was called a hater. Now you guys see it. I watched today with that pitiful performance. My question is why did Hoke wait so long to play Fitz? He killed OSU every time he touched the ball.

I know I mocked you.

Damn was I wrong. My B.

Your delivery left you open to a lot of criticism, but by-gosh... you called it right.

Spot on Nick. It's not the content of what's said. Quite often it's the delivery.

Kid is a freshman. Too early to say he sucks. Not everybody can be a freshman phenom like Gurley or Yeldon.
