Didn't realize Hart was visiting this week, but it's good to see that he is in Ann Arbor. I just saw Ricardo and him entering the Brown Jug as I was leaving. Someone post that TomVH bat signal.

I think...
Player recruiting (especially with familial ties) is definitely a huge strength to the team, especially in creating pipeline schools too (see: Pahokee).

Ricardo Miller is to player recruitment
as Tom VH is to reporting of the same.

Endzone Turf works, though.

We could compromise...
Doesn't Old Spice make something called Red Zone?

I just left, and saw them in there too! Gave them all a Go Blue. They happily responded back with a hearty Go Blue. Nick Patti is there with them as well.

Is there a point where that's
Is there a point where that's not legal? For example, is it okay to eat together, but not okay for the college player to buy?
July 15th, 2010 at 6:26 PM
#15
Whether or not it's against
Whether or not it's against the letter of the law, I highly doubt any school would get in trouble if one player bought another play a burger or a basket of chicken fingers. Especially if they are ex-teammates and family friends.
These rules are to keep players from getting real benefits from going to one school over another. A free 13 dollar dinner is not going to raise any eyebrows.
July 15th, 2010 at 8:46 PM
#16
Believe it or not Ricardo
Believe it or not Ricardo can't even give him a ride to the Brown Jug and back, much less pick up the tab.
July 15th, 2010 at 6:28 PM
#17
I'm not 100% sure on this,
I'm not 100% sure on this, but my understanding is that even on unofficial visits, the school can pay for certain expenses like food.
July 15th, 2010 at 6:39 PM
#18
no they can't
but ricardo, dee hart, and nick patti were friends before dee and nick's recruitment so ricardo is not looked at as a booster. (assuming he's paying, which i doubt. nick patti's father is there i'd imagine he's the one paying)
July 15th, 2010 at 6:56 PM

Hmm, learn something new
Hmm, learn something new every day.
So how does the school get away with things like BBQ at the Big House then? I doubt many students were using that as their official visit.
July 15th, 2010 at 7:01 PM
#20
it can't be used as an official
as it is before the season. because it is an on-campus event they're allowed to feed them. if it were across the street at pioneer they wouldn't be allowed to. you were correct in that aspect.
July 15th, 2010 at 7:09 PM

BBQ at BH
Believe it or not, the recruits actually have to pay a small fee. It's crazy.
July 15th, 2010 at 7:06 PM
#22
There is no free lunch.
The recruits/parent pay for the meals served at the BBQ.

He will be sorely missed in the world of macroeconomic academia. (Sounds like a disease, doesn't it??)

Good to see he made it and Ricardo's hanging out with him. Them being so close is huge for us here. Come on Demetrius, come to Michigan! Look at all the OL we're recruiting for you to run behind!

No one else in college football has "a Jake Long" on the line because he's a pro lineman now.
But, Michigan doesn't have "a Taylor Lewan," it has.....TAYLOR LEWAN. Saddle up.
July 15th, 2010 at 9:40 PM

But dammit, we're trying:
Jack Miller, Jake Fisher, Jake Ryan (wrong position, I know, but ...) I put the blame squarely on brand new parents surnamed Long who didn't anticipate our needs 17-18 years ago.

We have plenty...
...of current OL and recruits who are just as highly rated as Jake was when he came out of Lapeer East.

I just hope Dee Hart is eating at the Brown Jug for four years.
I'd very much like to pick up that tab, but, uh, I won't.
July 15th, 2010 at 6:24 PM
#32
5 years*
I hope he can redshirt and let V. Smith and crew do their thing. Although I'm hard pressed to believe a player of his caliber won't see the field as a true freshman.
July 15th, 2010 at 6:27 PM
#33
Even with the running backs
Even with the running backs we have, it's very unlikely Hart redshirts.
July 16th, 2010 at 3:23 AM
#34
Not only do I hope
that he eats at the Brown Jug for the next 4-5 years but I also hope that he is eventually able to order something off the menu that is named after him.
A lot of great food on that menu. A lot of great football players on that menu.

This isn't right
You can't get the real Brown Jug experience without blacking out and stealing a cardboard cutout of a bikini-clad beer selling babe, sprinting home and then instantly passing out so your friends can take embarassing pictures of you with said cutout... not that that ever happened to me.

Dee,
We love you. Michigan fans haven't been as fired up about a recruit as we are about you in a long time. You are the only person who can claim they are the most coveted UM recruit in this class. If you come to Michigan, you will have great success, both team success and individual. You will be the next great Michigan running back.
Sincerely,
The University of Michigan Fan Base

When I was on campus I saw more football players hanging out or picking up food at the Jug than any other place on campus except the Diag.
Has it always been this way? Any old-timers want to comment?
