Hart reminds me of Adrian Peterson (Okla.). He has speed and power but he also sort of glides gracefully past defenders as they always seem a half step late to match his moves. Unless he gets hurt, he will be on the Heisman watch list as soon as he hits the field at Michigan.

Hart really isn't anything like AP. AP is a fucking horse. He just stiff arms linemen off him and runs through arm tackles. Hart is more of a shifty back where AP is more of bruiser with speed.

 

Also, I find it really hard to see being on a watch list soon. If he commits and plays next year, he'll almost certainly split time with Shaw, Cox, Smith, and Fitz. I think he'll probably be like a Harvin, spending time in both the slot and backfield.

dee hart IS a power back. dude runs over people like it's his job. like you, i don't understand the comparison to adrian peterson. just doesn't make any sense.

 

on another note, why the infatuation with mike cox? dude's been there for like 3 yrs and still can't learn the plays, i doubt he'll ever get serious playing time

he doesn't run  well behind his pads, I'm just saying that their running styles are very different. AP is more of a stiff arm/truck style and Dee is a scat back. Not really a good comparison.

 

And I think most assume Cox has the physical tools and sooner or later he'll put it together. If that happens, who knows.

Just more evidence of how flawed the scouting ratings are, i don't go by that data. I know that some fans get all hyper over 5 star commits. I would take a solid performer that is a 1 star, then a dud that was rated 4-5 stars.

 

 

Edit: I also, don't want to debate it. Just supporting my stance.

For me, one of the more exciting parts of Hart's game is his receiving ability as a receiver out of the backfield. In four-WR sets the RB would likely have a LB covering him out of the backfield. When reading about his pass catching ability, I see a 4 WR set with a slot running an in-cut, outside receiver running a fly/flag route with hart running an out cut. Get the RB running away from the LB (especially to the field side of the formation) and wait for good things to happen

Agreed! This post warms my heart like the recent post with Mike Martin's weight room exploits. I haven't exactly given up on the guys we have now at tailback (not at all, actually) but I've got to believe that Dee would be in the running for serious playing time immediately, especially with him wanting to enroll early and whatnot.

This guy is a nightmare for defenses when he gets in the open field and it would be great to have another Hart in the backfield again.

...is simply decide which helmet represents the most powerful visual statement, has the most gravitas and is worth the most from an educational perspective. If those criteria don't work for you, then which one looks the coolest? The choice is obvious!

Most recent observers have said he's probably put on 10 pounds and is probably around 200 lbs now.  I've also heard several people from the state of Florida that have said he looks like he could easily put on another 10-15 pounds on top of the 200 without losing speed. 

At that point you'd be talking about a 5'8" 210-215 pound back with good speed.  Yea, I think we can work with that.

...update in the OP.  Hart had two TD catches in the first half of the finals.  HaHa had a 100 yd pick six.

Final score 36-0 SE over SW.

player we need to start having at the top of our recruiting classes on a regular basis again. As soon as RR gets back to 10+ wins a season these types of players should become locks a lot sooner. I'd like to see the 'Bama fans worrying if the players they want are going to drop Michigan from their top choices, not the other way around.

Dee and Desmond exchanging phone numbers is full of win.  This can only be a good thing for Michigan, right?

On a side note... my sources* tell me that Kirk Herbstreit was also in attendance, and asked Dee Hart for his number.  Dee responded with an emphatic, "Go Blue!", and then simply walked away.

 

*Just for the record, these sources exist only in my head.
