Hoke cries over RB committing to UM.

[Camfantasy]

Green is good, but not 5* best RB in the country good. He also has a "me" type mentality, and didn't consider most other schools who already had an established backfield or had other highly recruited backs on board. I would have rather had Mizzell out of Virginia (even though he likes to get drunk and kick cars)

Yeah he got offered, didn't look like they pursued him too hard. Thats why he only visited shit programs. I bet he is a bust.

Ohio State was his early favorite and thought of to be a lock to land him this time last year. His childhood idol was Eddie George, and that carried his interest a long way early. After a while, and a top RB committment from Elliot, tOSU cooled on him and eventually told him to go kick rocks.

Yeah that's what I heard. They musta saw something in him, bc they like Ezekiel a lot more to fit their offense. I know he runs a 4.4, but I was watching his highlight reels and he just didn't look like a 5-star to me. We will see though, I don't regret OSU not pursuing him as hard. I like the Ezekiel kid.

Now I'm hearing Ezekiel may end up at Missouri. He made an official visit last weekend. That will suck for us if we lose him at this point.

Yeah I was just reading about that earlier. He has some friends at Mizzou, of course from there. But I think he wanted the visit just to catch w/ them, lets hope. But I woukdn't be too worried yet, I'm pretty sure he still wants to be a Buckeye.

Doesn't look anywhere near a 4.4. to me.

In this article it says 4.31, wtf?? But worst 40 time I have seen is 4.4. This is suprising to me.

I was watching a combine from 2010, before Green lost all that weight. He looked uncoordinated and he ran a 4.64.

Yeah but he was very young. I think he was still a freshmen in HS. He supposedly turned all that fat into muscle and had a lot of time to progress. But still there are question marks.

I would expect him to run a 4.55+ in an NFL esque combine setting. Dude is quick for his size, but there are very very few RBs who run legit 4.4s. High school combine numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. If they can lie significantly on heights/weights, what do you think they can do on 40-yard dash times?
