It is a typo. This is from Simmons:

IDK Green did visit recently and seemed to really love the visit, I doubt it's a typo.


No way green goes to Bama.

Just read a Henry article, he says Bama still leads, and we for sure want him at RB, had a great visit ect. says he was gonna wait til later to commit but now he thinks he may commit before his first game.

Sounds like a Bama lock imo, I think he get him and Walker committed before the season, possibly Robert Foster too if his visit goes well Thursday, looking great for us getting those three 5 stars.

And despite all his recent trips I still think VT has the best shot for Green. In-state school, good track record with RBs, no other true RBs committed, and I think he's friends with some of their other commits.

He's never even visited VT, and has not made plans to do so. He basically said Auburn leads now and plans to come back for the LSU game on an unofficial along with an official.

Sounds good to me if that would happen. This class is shaping up to be a very good one. The one thing I noticed about this class is how spread out across the US it is. The coaching staff is hiting Utah, Cali, Louisana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, NewYork/NewJersey, North Carolina.

Derrick Henry is one of the best HS rbs I've ever seen on film so excited about him, it's almost impossible to watch his highlight video without fapping.Gonna be a perfect fit at Bama imo.Reminds me of Julio Jones but as a rb.

That's funny because I just read a Rivals article dated 6/10/12 where he talks about his visit to VT for their spring game. He spent a long time talking to Frank Beamer, Shane Beamer, and David Wilson on the visit. He also attended at least 1 of VT's homes games last year.

I was just going by the 247 timeline, which lists all of his visits and offers. And I didn't see VT. I either missed it or they didn't list it. But I still like AU and Ohio St's chances

Green has visited Virginia Tech, but I haven't been keeping up with him much, pretty sure Auburn leads, but I wouldn't rule Clemson or V Tech out yet, sounds like it'll be a while before he commits.

Clemson got their 2nd back in Dye the other day. They won't recruit any more RBs. But yeah, it'll be a while for Green

OK- So are we really going to get all 3 of the RB's? We need them, IMO.

5*Henry
4*Tenpenny
4*T-Jones


That will be a sick RB class! Plus with the guys on Campus that will be here for 3 mores years. Yeldon, Hart, Drake we are going to be stacked!

It's a matter of when he commits to Bama, not if he commits to Bama.

Yeah it's sounding like we keep both rb commits, plus add Henry, they all 3 seem to be fine with having competition at the position.Bama has had a rb drafted in the first round the last two years, can't blame them for wanting to come here.

Some people are saying that Tenpenny will leave if Henry commits to Bama. They obviously didn't see this from the opening:

quote:

"It would be great," Tenpenny said. "Every time Derrick and I are together we bring the best out of each other.

"I feel like if he goes there it would be like a Herschel Walker/Trent Richardson type of thing bringing the best of both worlds and going H.A.M., hopefully bringing more national championships to the team."
