Dee Hart Transfer Rumors-Michigan Potential Destination
In the past hour rumors have been swirling on twitter about Dee Hart potentially transferring. This tweet from @UMGoBlog was the first one I found that wasn't some sort of retweet;
Rumor: Dee Hart named 4th RB @ Bama. Considering transferring to AUB/FLA/MICH.
Now I don't know how much validity there are to these rumors, and I don't know how reliable UMGoBlog is, but this is interesting if true.

Would be awesome!
August 20th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
Would it.... if he's 4th on depth chart there, why should we think he'd make much/any of an impact here? We already have Norfleet and Drake Johnson (kinda) as our slot/speed backs.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
Not being 1st string at Bama does not mean you're not any good. He was the #19 overall prospect 2 years ago. To be honest, assuming that Norfleet (presumed KR) and then Drake Johnson (something of a backup plan?) would bench the #19 overall prospect from 2 years ago is...optimistic
August 20th, 2012 at 9:20 PM ^
Well what about not being 2nd string or 3rd string? And by now I hope everyone realizes you can only take so much from the rankings....

This is just not Hokes style, even if Hart was to transfer, he won't go to U-M because Hoke will not offer him, he's got guys that committed and that he will be loyal to and coach up, why do you think people love him so much? He won't forsake guys that have been there for somebody who feels like changing his mind when things don't go perfect for them.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:40 AM ^
Well, if we lose out on Green, which is a distinct possibility, then there might be an open scholarship in the recent recruiting class. Dee would have to sit out this year and would join the 2013 class. Would be a RS SO though. He would offer us a different type of RB than Shallman or Smith offer us so maybe, if the coaches are interested. And assuming this is not just some random and off-the-wall rumor from the internet.
August 21st, 2012 at 12:20 PM ^
How is offering Dee Hart a scholarship forsaking anybody? You bring in the best talent and players who play earn the right to do so, period.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:28 PM ^
August 20th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
I don't think that was your best effort at Cassel. I believe in you.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
August 20th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
Kastl? Really? Sound it out. Thanks for the laugh though.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
August 20th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
He got his people mixed up. Jeff Kastl was a forever practice squad QB at Michigan.
Matt as we know was USC's forever backup that kinda made it in the NFL.
The dude mixed up a couple names, dont need to be a dick
August 20th, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
August 20th, 2012 at 9:54 PM ^
August 20th, 2012 at 9:54 PM ^
HAHAHAHA, this is awesome. I had no clue who he was even trying to describe.
August 20th, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
August 21st, 2012 at 12:10 AM ^
He's a redshirt freshman who is coming off a serious knee injury. You'ld kind of exspect him to be rather low on the depth chart if he hasn't "Fully" recovered from a torn ACL. I wish the kid the best no matter where he plays. He chose Alabama for a reason tho even with them taking multiple backs that year. That shows a kid who is not afraid of competition. I'd be dissapointed if he chose to leave without being able to compete at 100%
August 20th, 2012 at 9:22 PM ^
Don't forget Justice Hayes. He's probably above both of the players you mention in terms of slot/speed backs. Frankly, I'm quite excited for his future here.
That said, I would be happy to have Dee Hart competing here if the coaches think he's worth the offer.

his high school highlight tape is sweet. how could you turn him down?
August 20th, 2012 at 9:11 PM ^
Not exactly a prototypical Hoke back, but too big a talent to turn down.
August 20th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
I heard we were keeping that spot open for Bri'Onte Dunn . . . .
August 21st, 2012 at 1:28 AM ^
I feel like this gif is made for me
August 21st, 2012 at 9:54 AM ^
is that Justin Boren? Maybe his bro, Zack?
August 20th, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
What is a prototypical Hoke back? Unless you put a lot of stock into the guys he had at Ball State, we don't really know yet.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
But does Michigan still have interest in him?
August 20th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
When asked for a source, UMGoBlog said he got it from a DM (direct message). I call his bluff -- guy has no sources, and his site is an obvious rip-off of this site's name.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:14 PM ^
I think he said (on here maybe) one time that he had registered the domain name long before MGoBlog became popular and didn't start using it seriously until recently. Take it fwiw

I stand corrected. UMGoBlog was created first (albeit by 10 days). My apologies.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:22 PM ^
The internets... they are fast. Really you need to go to UMGoBlue.com as it's the "original" site they went by... :)
August 20th, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
It's the Hydrox cookie of blogs.
August 20th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
Was MGoBlog ever in existence on blogspot or something similar before it got it's own official .com domain name?
August 21st, 2012 at 12:13 AM ^
yes, for several years
August 20th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
Hence why it's a rumor?

I've been visiting UMGoBlue (forums mostly) since before it was UMGoBlue. All that being said, until there is more info it is what it is (a rumor).
August 20th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
on November 13th 2013 at 2:51:46?!!!
I don't want MGoBlog to "expire".
August 20th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
If Brian lets it expire, I'm snatching it up and holding it ransom until gives me all the HTTV money (all the money!)

To DM, you have to follow and be followed by the person sending the DM. With some POE, I think we might be able to narrow it down.
What is the handle?
August 21st, 2012 at 8:18 AM ^
When I was asked for a source, I DMed that it was one of his old high school coaches and that Dee Hart did say that, although I said it was a rumor because for all we know Dee was frustrated and venting. I NEVER told anyone I got it via a DM.
And cdycus is right, UMGoBlog is a spinoff of UMGoBlue, but we actually created the URL MGoBlog.com (thus the ten day difference) and owned it for awhile before we gave the rights of the name for free to Brian.
August 20th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
Wait a second.......wasn't this last years exact same rumor?
August 20th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^

(Obligatory scholarship number question)

Mularkey perhaps?
