Derrick "LLL" Green (RB ttun transfer to TCU)

[ant80]

Anyone else a little shocked?

Not really. Been expecting this for months now. The writing's been on the wall for a while now. Still hurts to see him in the 2013 Football Recruiting section. :(

I don't understand the timing. Elliot has been on board for months. Why wait until 2 days before FNL to inform the young man?

Better than having him attend & wasting his money.

Anyone else a little shocked?

No.

 

[Taosman]

No. DG is a great kid. But. Once Elliot committed the handwriting was on the wall. Elliot is a more dynamic type player. He's what Coach thinks this team needs.

Derrick Green's chance at being a Buckeye ended this week when the #Buckeyes received a commitment from Taivon Jacobs, according to Green.

Hyde, Smith, Dunn, Ball, Elliott. Not sure there's really any room for another RB unless it's a RB/WR type.

Anyone else a little shocked?

Not shocked. Can anyone name Urban's tailbacks at UF? Offensive times are changing in Columbus.

I'm trusting the coaches. We got our man in Elliot, and we have more pressing needs. Sad to see this one go, but he was a luxury. Hopefully he is the only kid of this caliber that we have to pass on due to our scholarship reductions.

Maybe they didn't know for sure till recently. With Jacobs committing and decisions coming up for Mitchell and Lewis, the space is filling up quickly.

Was a likely outcome with a back already committed and him wanting to play out the process but still sad to see a player that talented who grew up idolizing one of our greats having to go to a different school.

As long as that different school isn't up north.

As long as that different school isn't up north.

Agreed. This kid will be very good, but he strikes me as a guy that will need 15-20 carries a game. With Hyde around, and Dunn for a couple more years, he strikes me as a bit redundant.

This seems to fit the bill on how UM gets a lot of recruits:(

 

[ShowMeBuck]

I haven't had him in our class for a while now and I haven't followed very much of his recruitmet elsewhere but I don't recall seeing tsun mentioned as a possible suitor. He always seemed like an SEC kid unless it was Clemson. I may be way off though. I really admire this kids work ethic and wish him the best. He is a stud.

If 21 is our number, give me:

Foster/Quick
Allen/Gibson
Lewis
Mitchell
Bell
OT (Dorian Johnson?)

 

[WolverineMike]

He is suppose to be in Ann Arbor for the BBQ this weekend, with his parents. That being said, I'll be shocked if he goes anywhere other than Clemson.

I thought Clemson was full at RB after getting a commit from Tyshon Dye last week. I'm not sure they're in the picture for Green anymore.
