Dee Hart - Final Decision Next Weekend
I didn't see this posted, but if it was already, my bad.
Anway, Dee says he'll make his final decision after his visit to Bama next weekend. He will also see Bama play Arkansas this weekend in Fayetteville, Ark. Apparently he said that there is "no leader". Also, Bama's #1 option? (Isaiah Crowell) is leaning towards Georgia, at least according to this.

Come on Dee. Go BLUE. For your future!

I hope Dee consults his Uncle "7/10" regarding this decision...
September 24th, 2010 at 9:35 PM ^
Why wouldn't he want to come to Michigan and join the most dreaded offense in the country?

My statement was a pun, hence my choice of words.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
Should have given you more credit than that. Well played, sir, well played ;)
EDIT: Seeing the ensuing wrath, I definitely should have gone with my first instinct and posted this.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:03 PM ^
I don't know why I love these posts.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:15 PM ^
I don't understand why someone would log in just to post that. I have been trying to decipher a pattern to the posts, but they seem to be entirely random. I would understand random if it at least had any substantial information, but I just don't get it. I also stand by my prior statement that the avatar (still) really creeps me out.
September 25th, 2010 at 9:51 AM ^
What a great picture. That is all.
September 25th, 2010 at 3:05 AM ^
most definitely.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:39 AM ^
So that's all I need to do to get pos banged is post some symbols?
September 25th, 2010 at 5:13 AM ^
Where do I order?
September 25th, 2010 at 10:19 AM ^
Cant wait to see Toui play today.
September 24th, 2010 at 9:35 PM ^
I'm nervous in a good way. MOTHER FUCKER WHY IS NICK SABAN ON ESPN RIGHT NOW!!?? Sorry.
September 24th, 2010 at 9:41 PM ^
He looks and sounds like huckleberry hound, and they didn't ask about his little problem of flushing players.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
let alone anything about his voracious appetite for recruits and his callous cutting of those kids that just don't quite make the cut.
Remember that the SEC is an ESPN franchise... need we say more?
September 24th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
Oh please go away, bad feeling I'm having about this.......
September 24th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
I am watching Niclk on ESPN, as well. I can't stand this guy. Always on TV giving interviews the night before (and last week, the day of) the game. Could you imagine Bo going on ESPN to be on Gameday the morning of a game?
September 24th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Thank you. I wasn't the only one.
September 24th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
I think that's good news for Michigan.
September 25th, 2010 at 10:23 AM ^
I don't read this news as anything but concerning, how do you? 1- He says there is "no leader" after saying for weeks that we lead. 2- he's spending increased time in Alabama and making his decisions after other school visits, which often (but certainly not always) leads to commitments to that last school. Fingers crossed here, but this trend doesn't sound promising to me.
September 24th, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
So by the time he decides, it will have been two weeks since the AU visit. That's long enough for the glitz to wear off. He'll come back to the school he's favored most of the way.
/My prediction of the college destination of a kid I've never met.
September 24th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
Ya except he is going to two alabama games before he makes a commitment. Not good I thinks.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:01 PM ^
Maybe, but that could work to our favor, too. If he's torn between the two Alabama schools, maybe it'll become easier to leave the region and come to Ann Arbor. (That kind of thing has happened to us before.)
September 25th, 2010 at 1:08 AM ^
maybe he is pulling a Will Campbell on us. Just saying.
September 24th, 2010 at 9:43 PM ^
September 24th, 2010 at 9:44 PM ^
Fingers crossed, toes crossed, shorthairs crossed.
C'mon Dee, Michigan will make you feel right at home.
September 24th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
RR commented the other day that he believes there will be (can't remember exact number) around 7 early enrollees. perhaps RR believes Dee is one of them.
If he does commit next week then he will commit (somewhere) when Michigan is undefeated, with a top 5 offense, and ranked. what more could Michigan do to start off this season.
Denard doing what he does allowed Shaw to have his way. Dee sees this.
Dee Hart will be here in January. Dee Hart will get Barwisized. Dee and Denard are going to blow up Bama in 12....
September 24th, 2010 at 10:47 PM ^
this $100 dollar bill into... 100 pennies!
/GOB
September 24th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
Am I the only one not worried about this until hearing from Tom?
Now excuse me while I go buy another 12 pack of Octoberfest.
And a fifth of Knob Creek.
I think I have a couple bottles of wine around here too.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
"I talked to Coach (Jim) McElwain," he said. "He's really looking forward to me coming over there."
It's a big game, I'm sure it will be exciting, but hopefully he's just getting tired of the whole mess -perhaps his uncle is too- and it's finally time to 'Go Blue'.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
I don't have any more appendages to cross! Go Blue Dee!
September 25th, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
Insecto, buddy, you could always cross your eyes.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
I guess I'm the only one not overly concerned with if he commits to Michigan or not. I would absolutely love to have him since he seems like such a perfect fit for the offense, but if I had to pick the recruits most important to the class it would probably be Zettel and Frost.
September 25th, 2010 at 9:14 AM ^
Or 5 more CBs!
September 25th, 2010 at 8:27 PM ^
IMPORTANT to recruit Zettel well in our back yard! and get frost in here (could he be like a Teo type player here?)
September 24th, 2010 at 10:18 PM ^
If he knows his final decision will be next weekend, I'm hoping this means he has already made up his mind to come to Michigan and he's just going to 'bama to get a free game out of it. Right? Right? *nervous chuckle* *frantically looks around room for reassurance*
September 24th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
o well.... but he would be making a big mistake...at this point, who can seriously trust saban?
September 24th, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
I won't try to argue what the best situation is for Hart. M fans will say M, Bama fans will say Bama, and so on. Each has its plusses and minuses, but most objective (national) observers would say the order of attractiveness would be Bama, UM, Auburn.
Hers a few things that don't need to be disputed:
1. Hart claims no leader.
2. The school with the last visit often has an advantage.
3. Proximity to home is often a significant factor.
4. His HS teammate has claimed that Hart won't come to Michigan.
5. One school is geographic outlier.
If we took away some of the hype from Michigan recruiting sites, and took the interviews with M-oriented people with the grain of salt they were deserved, would all the positivity remain? If you just looked at the facts of the situation (southern kid, visiting the #1 school in the country just prior to his commitment), the majority of signs would point to an alabama commitment.
Not saying its impossible, but some of you should be prepared to be disappointed. People seem to be hearing what they want to hear.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
I have to agree here. Announcing when he will make his decision so soon after his Auburn visit, coupled with the proximity of the Bama visit to the commitment date does not bode well for us. Throw in there that he is commiting before his UM-Iowa visit.
I'd love to have him here, but the choice is his and I think we should all respect that.
September 25th, 2010 at 2:14 AM ^
I agree it doesn't sound great, but he's been saying for months now that he'd make his decision right after vising all of the potential schools. Seeing as the Alabama visit is his last of schools he hasn't been to, it's not too unexpected.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
to make the statement that if Hart still has the M vs. iowa game on his list to visit then if he is to committ to another school he would not be coming up to A2! those in the know probably know if he has canceled his trip up here for the game. i am anxious to read this week about indiana and going forward from there, enjoying my Kids while teaching PE, loving my wife, enjoying church, etc. after watching todays greatest show on turf (first it might have answered more of how we deserve to be in the most exciting offense in the country discussion) more recruits eyes are opening! Go Blue
September 24th, 2010 at 10:37 PM ^
.. with the exception that his mother seems to be mostly in favor of Michigan. Having close familial ties (Ricardo) here also seem to be a big sway. I'd give the edge to Michigan solely because most 18 year olds who have a big future in front of them tend to let the people who raised them have a significant amount of input in their collegiate and life decisions.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:00 PM ^
Players go against their Mom's choice all the time. If they're tight, proximity would probably play a bigger role.
I'd guess Hart has friends on Auburn and Alabama's campus as well.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:54 PM ^
He's a silent commit. That is where the optimism comes from. Sam Webb's gut has been wrong once over the last 4-5 years. Not saying he can't be swayed and he might switch and go to Alabama, but as of right now he's Michigan's that is why people are optimistic.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:46 AM ^
Agree - Biggest positive is Sam Webb's "gut feeling." I LOVE driving into work and hearing Sam say this about a recruit.
However, I seem to remember one of Tom's articles saying that conversations with Dee's mom included her saying Dee was always high on whoever he visited last.
So much talk about how UM was the favorite for so long - here's hoping his 7/10 uncle, Sam's gut, and his mom, all have him coming north in January.
September 26th, 2010 at 12:04 AM ^
Didn't Webb have a "gut feeling" about Sean Parker, too?
It was either him, or another big-time recruit that we ended up missing out on last year. I take his gut feelings with a grain of salt.
