"(Wednesday) I got an offer from Iowa State," Green said. "I have been talking to coach Derek Day a little bit. We were building a relationship, but (the offer) was a little unexpected."
Green's familiarity with Iowa State stems mostly from his conversations with the coaching staff and mailings he has received from the program.
"I have seen them on TV a little bit here and there," he said. "I have not been out to the campus, but I know they have new facilities from getting mail from them. I know they have a good athletics program in general. Their basketball team is doing pretty good right now."
The offer from Iowa State was the sixth of the process for Green. Offer No. 5 came earlier this winter from Iowa, a program Green's high school has sent players to before.
"Mark Weisman actually went to my high school," Green said. "I see him every now and then. He comes back to the school and checks in on us. As soon as I think of their program, I think of him and hard-workers because I know he's always been a hard-worker.
"He says a couple things here and there about how it is a good program and how everyone is working hard. But he's mostly telling us we have to focus on what we have in the upcoming season rather than looking forward to college."
Other offers for the 6-foot-1, 189-pound Green have come from Boston College, Illinois, Purdue and Toledo. Being involved in basketball season has put plans for campus visits on hold.
"I have nothing planned as of right now, but I am trying to make some plans with Nick Dillon, a defensive tackle on our team," Green said. "We're trying to make some plans around basketball, so it is a little hard to get things planned out 100 percent right now.
"I'm thinking about trying to go up to Michigan State. I have some family around the area, so I'll visit them as well. Matt Morrissey is committed to the school, so I want to check it out with him again.
"I would love to go down to some of the schools that have offered me because they are all great schools, but it's just time that's not really on my hands right now."
