Derrick Green post final 13 teams? Is this final again?

  • It is all over that last night as they gathered for the opening, Derrick Green did his final 13 teams, and once again OSU made it.
    Three weeks ago on another major site he had a final eight, and a week after that one another a final 10, OSU made them all as no surprise.
    I have defended this kid for losing 70 pounds and busting his tail for kudos and becoming a good RB, but how many times are you going to roll out your final list? It is almost getting ridiculous.

    Mizzell sounds to be a UVA lean, but on one site they had OSU in his final three. David Williams, Green and Mizzell are all at the Opening, final grades on them, plus Elliott as RB's should be interesting.
    Mizzell got the better of Green at several camps, and all three I mentioned are coming to Friday night lights.
    Me, I would prefer Williams or Mizzell, but any one of the three as a second RB is icing on the cake.

  • He really loves the attention and having his name in the headlines. I guess he's 17 and is once in a lifetime experience so he is certainly making the most of it but yeah the final 3, 10, 13 and so on is silly.....I agree, I'd take any of the three as a second back and be satisfied.

    Not sure OSU dodged a bullet with Josh McNeil, now he is not announcing this weekend and he is doing it later with three new teams to be named. That one will be cancelled probably for more future games. I have seen this somewhere before named Terrelle Pryor.
    Give me a Bosa most times, a kid everyone in the country wants, wants at camps and etc. He visits OSU, falls in love, comes back again and ends it.

  • Unless the Bucks are 100% sure this guy is the next Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, and Beau jackson all in one, he should be shown the door. He obviously enjoys manipulating college scouts. It looks like (IMO) he is seeking a real pay day in the end, ala the Auburn way.

    Florida, Miami & Washington are the three new teams for McNeil according to the rolling tweets on home page.

    You dont know what he is telling the coaches to say anything. I think most of these 13 schools know where they stand with him just like OSU. Who cares what he does unless he is actually disrespecting coaches. Im sure these recruiting sites talk him into these announcements too.

    McNeil plays games with Saban and drags this out, Saban will find a better defensive player and say see ya.
    He even noted his last meeting with Withers, when he renamed OSU back in his top 5, things did not go as planned with Withers and the lack of OSU love.
    Some coaches are good enough recruiters, playing games with them gets you a ticket off their big board real quick.

  • Down to 13 schools!!.."Ego has a voracious appetite, the more you feed it, the hungrier it gets"..Green must love the attention and the recruiting services must love to feed him..Maybe it is time has come for his family meet with his high school guidance counselor.

  • Yeah maybe we made the premadonna's top 50

  • I would take Green in heart-beat, I would never judge a kids character on how many lists he of favorites that get print. This is more an indictment on how much the recruiting gurus are dying for info than it is anything else. Mizzell would be my #1 choice, he is a stud, and then Green would be next. Williams doesn't impress me that much.

    exactly.

    The kid is considering a certain number of
    schools. The number fluctuates.

    IMO, UFM should make it down to 12 and move on.

    Bama already has Howard (who is just as good if not better) and their offense is not prolific enought to employ two good tight ends simultaneously (McNeil may be too big for the H-Back role).

    Despite the melodrama, I think he is smart to steer clear of Bama. He really should be settled on UGA by now, it seems like a no-brainer.
