Synopsis, Hart has a top three of Michigan, Auburn, and Alabama in no particular order. He's going to announce in January, later than originally stated. Has this been heard on the other sites as well?

I wonder if this effects our level of pursuit of Justice Hayes...

Wasn't Dee Hart going to enroll early at his school of choice? Prolly would have to decide in late December. Hopefully a strong season by us should end this situation early.

AFAIK, he's planning to enroll early.  So it would be odd, but not unprecedented, for him to wait until January.

Regardless, Hart changes his mind about where and when he wants to commit about every three weeks.  Updates on his recruitment are getting pretty useless.

Michigan has a chance to surprise on the upside (expectations are pretty low) and he's not going to Auburn. It is Michgan v. Alabama. Maybe Alabama can trip up and Michgan can overperform. I get the feeling he wants to come to A2 but there is just too much uncertainty with the program. And, who knows, if Saban wins another NC, maybe Jerry Jones hires him which pushes Hart right back into Michigan's arms.

I don't know. Saban makes me nervous. Everyone takes shots at RR as a purveyor of snake oil. Saban is the snake oil king. Didn't he snatch that Ingram kid out of Michigan? Saban makes me very, very nervous.

He snatched Ingram out of the state of Michigan, but specifically out of Michigan State. Ingram was never ever considering Michigan as his dad was an MSU guy himself. It's a lot easier to snake oil recruits away from MSU than Michigan (although obviously in this case the guy isnt a "UM-background" kind of guy).

Given his history isn't it equally likely that he announces way before then?  I mean everything with his recruitment is so up and down this just feels par for the course.

This is not a bad point.  Also, they have a guy (or 2) about as good as Dee Hart in every class, including last year.  So if they get another 4-star type RB this year, they will have a very unfavorable depth chart at RB.
