UM Transfer RB Derrick Green

[scruf]

He's been mentioned recently but I expect things to heat up after CBB just started following him on Twitter. Would be a good rotational back in the offense and possibly allow the Hogs to RS Rawleigh Williams and move Duwop to safety.

Most think he's Florida bound.

Could be. His Twitter follows are trending Arkansas.

Well, we know how much that means...

Damn MacElwain, pulling that Ole Siss stuff again.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Wonder if Tully Tillman put in good word for us

Wonder if Tully Tillman put in good word for us

Do we know for sure that guy is coming here?

[Wildhog]

Do we know for sure that guy is coming here?

No. 

I think he does end up coming here, but no, we don't know that.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Do we know for sure that guy is coming here?

Nobody has confirmed it. But I believe he will be as soon as he graduates and his legal issues are finished.

[Cure]

Arkansas needs another back in this class, Green did well at UM before he got hurt.

[farfromgroovins]

Most think he's Florida bound.

I can't think of a finer program to steal him from

[onebadrubi]

Didn't florida sign two rb's yesterday and one being a JUCO? 

[longpig]

Is James Joseph creeping his own players out?

[respirback]

Well, we know how much that means...

1,000,000 high fives

[scruf]

Well, we know how much that means...

True. True. Just thought it was interesting.

[Wildhog]

True. True. Just thought it was interesting.

I mean, it's definitely worth noting, and I'm glad you did.

It just doesn't mean much by itself.

Couldn't agree more.

[Dr. Pepper]

Could be. His Twitter follows are trending Arkansas.

Well we all know that means Hog lock...

[LR Hog]

Will both of these Michigan guys have to sit out next year?

[scruf]

Well we all know that means Hog lock...

...said no one ever. Well, I did once. With Solomon Thomas. Learned my lesson there. Never again. WPS

[scruf]

Will both of these Michigan guys have to sit out next year?

Immediate eligibility if they join the team. LTT would have 2 years, Green 1.

[3kgthog]

We definitely need another back. I'm not buying that RWIII will ever be his old self. I have been told that he's risking a serious and career ending injury by playing again. This came from someone in the medical profession that's familiar with the situation. Don't start with the "breaking the law" comments, either. When it comes to public figures like Hog players, not everyone keeps their mouth shut even though we'd like to think they do.

[rljjr]

Do we know for sure that guy is coming here?

That guy needs to clear up his pending felony charges first, then graduate. I don't see him as an option at all.

If he never played again, wouldn't it already be a career ending injury? I still wouldn't be surprised to see him red shirt.

He is expect to be able to do both those things

[Nuttcracker, Sweet!]

Damn MacElwain, pulling that Ole Siss stuff again.

I so hope we put a beatdown on the Swamp Donkey so maybe he'll know who BB is... MacElwain is a typical arrogant jacka$$, fits right in down there.

[rljjr]

Interesting. Haven't seen that written anywhere.

[Hoot72]

I wonder if coach KA still has Michigan contacts that might help in this situation

I agree. Whether he ever plays another down or not is 100% Rawleigh Williams' decision.

[redeye]

I seriously doubt that OUR coaches would ever allow RWIII to play again, if they didn't think it was safe.  Perhaps there's some small risk something could happen, but if his doctors said it was okay, then I'm sure Bielema asked them to double check.

I think he plays next year, but a redshirt wouldn't surprise me any.

Team doctors cleared him and then CBB asked RWIII and his family to get a second independent opinion, which they did, and those doctors also cleared him. The anti-Bielema brigade is going to keep casting doubts about it though. That's just how they roll (like toilet paper).

[sylamore]

Correct

[sylamore]

Everybody risks a career ending injury if they play at all. If the two separate teams of Docs clear him without reservation, R W III has the right to make his own decision. If he does not play for fear of injury...that too would be career ending. A tough choice, but one he and he alone has the right to make. And if CBB has independent confirmation of his full recovery, so be it.

I believe he said RWIII's mom got the second opinion on her own, "like a good momma does" in Bret's words.

[Smokehouse]

We've got to keep that University of Michigan pipeline going.

Yeah well too many trolls disguised as Hog fans are allowed to bring their garbage on here. They are pretty on top of most of it though. Still, it would be nice to be able to come here and get information without having to wade through sewer.

I'm not looking at the PC transcript. I'll go back and listen when my internet is not cr4pping the bed.

No problem, but that's what I seem to remember.

I don,t think any good hog fan will want anything but the best for RWIII so I say whatever he does I,ll be happy for him.the way he has handled this has already made him a favorite hog of mine.god bless RWIII

Wonder is Joseph Putu put in a good word for us 

[Hogsmo Kramer]

Most think he's Florida bound.

Franking FL!

My disdain for them is growing exponentially.

I hope we beat the brakes off them this coming season!

[secneahog]

So what's the story on this guy?

Green has played with Tillman the last 3 years. So I'm not sure I get the joke

[DeltaBoy]

I would like to see this kid be a hog.

[Music City Hog]

Keep an eye on Barry sanders jr moving forward as well.

[presidenthog]

bret and otis kirk just started following him.  we will see.

[AirWarren]

Could be. His Twitter follows are trending Arkansas.

Which means absolutely nothing.

[CallThoseHawgs]

So what's the story on this guy?

big time 5* recruit. He was having a good sophomore season before getting injured and didn't play much this past year.

That is interesting, considering his mother was specifically worried about this and requested a second independent opinion not associated with the U of A... and they said he was free and clear. So if two doctors have cleared him then your friend must be the 3rd, or they feel these doctors are incorrect in their evaluation I presume? Honest question. Or is it a situation of "you are clear to play, but are risking a lot if you do." In which case I would be surprised if his parents would let him continue.
