An Interview with Demetrius Hart's Mom

I've been on the edge of my seat since your "Big interview will be posted soon. Stay tuned." tweet fifteen minutes ago. You sir, delivered.

Wow, straight to the source. You will one day be a legend in the recruiting world, TomVH.

The Mel Kiper of College Football recruiting.

Also, to clarify, his mom is technically his aunt. They adopted him, but they very much so consider themselves his parents. He calls her mom, so it's probably appropriate to do so, as well.

Well if she still wants to take officials but Demetrius will be deciding in a month, then that's good news. Because how many can you really take in a month?

oh thats not awesome

Hope rich rod gets out the magic koolaid tomorrow...

Great interview.

Now RR, you sit your ass down with Hat's Mom and give her the truth. Her son will be loved here and we are all dying to have him as part of the family.

So glad to hear this news.

This kind of stuff is usually behind a paywall.

I loved the tone of this interview.

Do Hart's upcoming other visits fall within this one month timeline? Would be great if not. She seems very genuine and clear and supportive about her son's future. Hart sounds like a Michigan Man... TomVH, you are a Michigan Man!

This was better info than I could have expected, even with Tom's great track record. Phenomenal job.

Let me add my voice to the thundering acclaim for the remarkable work of Tom VH. This interview with Dee Hart's Mom is exactly the recruiting scoop that we craved. I don't know what goes on behind the pay walls but it cannot be any better than the incredible information and insight that we receive from Tom. My gratitude abounds.

Mrs. Hart seems like a very intelligent woman who has all the right intentions for her son. By her answers she seems like a very reasonable woman as well who makes her own decisions based on the info she gathers and not what is heard or read through the media outlets. That seems as though it would have to be a positive for us right now. I hope that he decides to come to Michigan but whatever decision he and his family makes it sounds like he will be just fine judging from the values ans morals his mother has raised him with and that is the type of kids we want.

Tom, you rule! This article was nothing short of pure awesomeness!

anyone else catch the "And, we’ll be back soon" part of that interview??

First of all, Dee Hart is a lucky kid to have his mother so genuinely concerned about his well-being. So many parents talk about where their kid will have the best shot at playing time or who will give them the best chance at the pro's. Dee Hart's mom has her priorities lined up and really cares about her son's honest well being. Well Done, Mom.

Secondly, this has to be good news for us. It sounds like this trip was great for the Harts and could go a long ways toward getting Dee in M&B. Also, Ricardo Miller's family living in AA sounds like a MAJOR selling point.

As always, great work Tom.

Dang that is encouraging, more than anything in what it says about this staff.

Wow, great interview Tom. Mrs Hart sounds like an intelligent woman who truly cares about her son. I hope Dee decides to come to Michigan, but as stated above, if not I have no doubt that it's the right decision for him and his family. He is a truly special player, and it seems that he has a truly special family as well.

There's only so many more visits you can make during the end of the school year. With his decision coming "within a month" you have to feel pretty good about our chances with him.

Nice work.

Great news.

I'm really impressed with this women. She sounds like a great parent that really does want what's best for her child's well-being and not just what's best for his football career. She and her son would make great additions to the Michigan family. I hope he decides to come our way, but if not, I wish the best for both of them.

Thanks the great update Tom.

I love how many times I've read quotes from recruits saying Coach Rodriguez makes them feel like their part of a family up here.
I really hope the Hart family becomes part of the Michigan family.
Not to mention Demetrius would have a chance to contribute immediately, kid is a stud.

Great interview Tom!

In my (admittedly limited) knowledge, it sounds like both Ricardo and Demetrius have the type of family support and structure that many can only dream of. +1 to the Harts, +1 to the Millers, whatever you're doing, keep it up.

Hope to see him in the Maize and Blue but best wishes where ever he may go.

1) Demetrius Hart's mom seems like an intelligent woman, and a great mother at that. Her comments show that she has raised her son right, and that they (the Hart family) are approaching the recruiting process like everyone should be. After reading this interview, I want Demetrius in Ann Arbor next year even more. All things football aside, you've gotta feel good about a kid with this type of leadership at home. COME TO MICHIGAN!!

2) I liked what I heard about the interview. Hopefully we can make an even better impression on her before she leaves. I feel very good about what I'm hearing, and this is coming from someone just as important as Demetrius himself - his mom. Great day today, in my opinion. I am so happy to have read this interview and I hope that she walks away feeling that Michigan is the best place for her son.

3) TOM VH - YOU ARE A PIMP. When I saw "Interview with Demetrius Hart's Mom", I thought it was some type of joke....but nevertheless, MGoBlog's version of Superman makes it happen. Great reporting, we can't thank you enough.

Tom VH, I give you permission to bed Megan Fox after I'm done with her.

Sounds like a solid family. Great interview. Hopefully tomorrow's discussion answers her questions/concerns.

I am missing my televised spring game because of softball? Does anyone know if the spring game will be on btn after this?
