In the spring of 2012, Ohio State was on the recruiting trail and on the prowl for a bell-cow running back. The Buckeyes were searching for the centerpiece of Urban Meyer and Tom Herman's future offenses and there was an obvious choice to be that player, at least according to a number recruiting experts and fans: Derrick Green, from Richmond, Va.
Green, as you can see above and are no doubt aware, was the country's top-ranked running back and a player who verbally expressed his affection for and desire to attend Ohio State.
