TomVH: Demetrius Hart Update

You are the man...Thanks

Thanks Tom. Everyone can now breath easier. We should still be OK if we win and Rich's job is safe.

Can't recall anybody ever committing to a place that was just 7 out of 10.

Get him back up here for the MSU game (is that still in the works?), and it's over.

The gospel is handed down from above once again by MGoBlog's version of Moses:

As always, thanks for the update!

We all hang on your every word...that's why I'm beginning to wonder...is this you?

Thanks Tom. A lot of people on edge about his commitment. At this point in the recruiting process do we even have a plan B? From the sound of it we still may not need it but just curious.

Some of these recruits get caught up in the moment from one trip to another.  Others seem to be more focused and business like when they take them.  It amazes me that 17/18/19 y.o. kids can even think of making such a big time decision and still focus on their normal day to day lives.  I am willing to venture that he has been treated like a superstar at just about every place he has seen.  Hopefully he has not gotten caught up in the hype of the moment and someone is there to keep him grounded to make the best decision for his future.  Whether that future is here in A.A. or somewhere else remains to be seen.  Best of Luck to this young man with such a big decision.

7 out of 10 tells me that M is probably still his leader.

It really sounds like with Hart, Zettel, Walls that the common denominator is that they want to see if Rich Rod is here next year.....It's scary to think that a really good recruiting class will simply depend on wins/losses andif the coach is here next year.

The one positive to really take out of this is that even with all the crap going on off the field the last couples years that Rich Rod really makes a positive impression with these kids and they want to play for him.

Gotta give Rich  Rod credit for being able to do this amid the pressure he has to feel day to day in AA.

I feel a lot better about Hart committing to UM. Thanks Tom.

I would kiss you on the mouth if I could. This should calm us all down a bit. 

Good stuff.  It may be difficult waiting for him to commit but I respect a kid who does his research a lot more than one who commits and decommits repeatedly.  I think it shows he's got a good head on his shoulders and good support system.  He is also doing this without creating the media circus that other high profile recruits like to create. While I hope he comes to Ann Arbor, I definitely admire the way he's handled the process and I wish more of the high profile guys did it like this.

Please choose Michigan, we already have "I heart hart" shirts.

I think he's blue IME.  He knows if he comes in early there is a great shot that he's going to be the guy next year.  It's pick your poison with him and Denard and all of our incredible WR's.  I think eventually we will be celebrating the "hello:Dee Hart" post.  Keep the faith.  Go blue.

Let's hope they were just subscription-fishing this morning. Wouldn't be the first time.

This woman continues to impress me.  I forget when it was, though I think it was the spring game, when there were some long quotes that came out from her.  She continues to impress with her attitude, candor and thoughtfulness during this ordeal.  I think the admirable way that Dee has handled this recruitment is a testament to both of them.  Her parenting skills and his attitude.  He sounds like a great fit for this team.  Go blue Dee!

Thanks, Tom.  Dee and his family seem like good people.  Also Denard Robinson > Cam Newton.

sometimes kids settle down a bit after being all hyped up during visits.  let's hope dee sees the blue light.

That is all.

thanks tvh, and if his uncle is saying auburn is 7 out of 10 thats positive.  I watched that game, the atmosphere was unreal.  Got to think seeing a man walk, when the surgeon told him he would never be able to would be amaize-ing.  Curious as to frost's thoughts, but time will tell with the way michigan plays during the season.

great info as always. just keep winning

But now he's done going to Auburn, right?  And he's coming to UM again?  Hopefully the other "A" SEC schools give him meh visits and we get a commitment then next time he's in AA.
