Dee Hart still commited to Michigan?
I know that Dee Hart decommited to Michigan, and it was confirmed by TomVH, but after this article from scout, not free, Hart, himself, said he was still committed to Michigan.

I'm starting to get sick of the drama, but I'd still love to get Hart in this class.

Trust TomVH. No seriously.... always trust TomVH. It's the only thing we KNOW is right.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:35 PM ^
to accurately convey what recruits tell him. If they change their minds after they talk to him what he reports may not come to pass.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
Tom to be like Alice on Twilight ie he can only see the future as appears now. When people change their minds, the future changes.
PS. Please neg-bomb me to hell for the Twilight reference. I'll start.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:13 PM ^
kill me a little inside eveyday. I'm going to need a bottle of Jack for every day of the upcoming week until next weekend at least.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:15 PM ^
but i'd be interested to know if it was using the old quote to try to stir up a couple last subscriptions. TomVH confirmed the switch directly IIRC
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
It was a quote from Dee today at the Army game practice. He wants to announce it at the game and needs another hat on the table essentially. He is "choosing" between Michigan and Bama.
I am frankly tired of all the drama that he creates even though he has earned his moment on TV.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:04 PM ^
Agreed, he had his press conference. There's no need for him to roll out another one. If he's changing his mind that's fine, but he doesn't need another press conference to do it at. Honestly, if that's the way the kids wired I'd rather he go to 'Bama anyway.
To be clear: he has a right to change his mind and I hope he does well, I just think a second press conference is a bit much.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:06 PM ^
Maybe he dint want to hurt Sabans feelings and couldnt tell him no.
Go Blue
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:18 PM ^
This is so old hat. Hart should know Twitvid is where it's at these days.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:13 PM ^
Rivals shows him as decommitted.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:16 PM ^
Whats a Dee Hart? Whose CC?
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:18 PM ^
*fingers in ears* I CAN'T HEAR YOU..........LALALALALALALALALA.
Until he's listed as enrolled at either UM or Alabama, it's not definite. Hell, even if he does enroll somewhere, he might change at this point.
I want him to come. I don't expect him to come.

"That's when I decided to invest in my 401k."
(Evaluator's look of approval).
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
+1 for cheeseitz reference
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:16 PM ^
.....for a brief second you had me.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
He's no longer committed, and is not coming here. Stop posting about Dee Hart.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
He's gone. That's it. Cut and dry, Justice Hayes is the premeir back in this class now.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:55 PM ^
...with one Thomas Rawls soon.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:08 PM ^
a Big 10 RB.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
will lay down the law!
Get ready for 4/5 years of awesomely bad puns!
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
Allen Trieu is the one who said he was still committed. Said this TODAY. Weird.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
The article says he's technically still committed, but waiting until Saturday to announce. He just wants more attention surrounding it. He will not be attending the U of M
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:36 PM ^
I would agree that he will probably go to Bama with all the talk about him and HaHa playing together. But, part of me thinks he sees the depth chart there and maybe there is a chance. Back to other recruiting news.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
It's obvious now. Dee Hart will be announced as the new head coach of the University of Michigan football team.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:54 PM ^
I'm down with that...as long as the doesn't run the 3-3-5.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
I thought they were going to start him out as Special Teams coach. The need is so much greater there.
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:05 PM ^
The vaunted player-coach in college football.
Anything for a 5*, right??
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
This is likely a building drama ploy so he can "re-announce" this week. I wouldn't expect him to pick up a Michigan hat this time.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
Pretty sure he is following Alex Legion to Kentucky-er-Illinois-er-South Florida.
Speaking of which, has anyone heard anything on possible mid-season 4* Miami big man transfer Donnovan Kirk? I would have started a thread, but I am a few midichloreans shy of that capability...
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
Take this advice; just ask in a thread, you will get an answer if there is one to be had. If you do that and still don't get your answer, then create a thread. It will save you some grief, right or wrong.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:36 PM ^
dylan at UMHoops posted that he will transfer and choose btwn us, N'western, Oakland and DePaul. Kirk redshirted last year.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
We're very much in it for him. Expect a decision soon, he wants to enroll for the winter term.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:29 PM ^
we will know who we should support. This applies to the entire team and the coaches whoever they are. Until then I am done speculating about who our coach will be or what recruits are coming or not.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:30 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:35 PM ^
Again, this is just a technicality. For all intents and purposes, he's committed to Bama
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
I don't think Rod Smith is rushing down there this time.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
It should be noted that Rod Smith has done a terrific job on this recruitment, and he's one of the only reasons we've kept him committed for this long
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
Absolutely. Rod Smith and Tony Dews are great recruiters. If there is a change, I wish these guys would stay.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
I agree, he is Tom Jr. Called him that a while back.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
Saban didn't take his math classes at Michigan.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
Sigh. The denial.
Just let go man. You'll never learn to love again until you finally realize the fact that he. Is. Gone. I know, it hurts. It hurts us all. And maybe you have some deep seeded abandonment issues, but pick your head up, man. Keep on truckin'. Find your sense of self respect again and learn to really love yourself. Because, dammit, you're a winner. You're worth it. Dee might not see you for what you really are, but someone will. And one day you'll find another running back that loves you for you, and you'll forget all about Dee.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 8:07 PM ^
is scout using what is basically confirmed news to gin up subscriptions. Guess that's what it takes, but come on... there has got to be another way.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
he wants to announce at the all star game
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:11 PM ^
He's announcing at the all star game. He's just saying he's still committed to "create suspense" for the AA game.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
Best of luck to Hart in his future endeavors, though you kind of hope he realizes that in order for him to receive a scholarship at Alabama, a couple of current players are going to have to leave the team before their eligibility runs out (based on their small senior class and draft-eligible juniors). So yeah, 'Bama might look great now, but in 2 years when he is pushed out for Dee Hart 2013, he might regret his decision. I don't begrudge the kid for picking a better program at this moment, but we've seen what happens in the SEC and especially at Alabama when it comes to recruiting classes.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:31 PM ^
After all the drama, do us one solid.
Don't pretend to go for the Michigan hat only to pull a "just kidding." Be original and just grab the hat of the school you are committing to, be it Bama or whoever..
At this point, you aren't going to surprise anyone, unless you pick Michigan.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
...or is he ain't???
