Haha/Hart question

If they were some sort of package deal, I think they would have committed at the same time. Nobody knows what the situation is, and it kind of depends on what happened with the meeting today. Hart has always maintained that he would commit before the season.

Stay Tuned.

How would we know what she is thinking?

When you bring your mother with you it means you are very serious about going to school. To me it sounds like they are going about his recruitment in the right manner. In the end it will be his decision but he goes nowhere without his mother's blessing first. Also if their is a player that could influence Hart's decision it's Ricardo Miller not Dix. Anyway we will get your answer soon.

Ok, don't know why I thought he would wait. I' probably had him mixed with the numerous recruits who are taking the "wait and see" approach with us.

Good point about if them being a package deal, he would of committed with Haha.

I'm just leery with Haha being very confident and Hart's relatively recent questions with us.

But again, his mom's quotes sound promising.

On that note, it has been very quiet on "the meeting" details. Don't know how to take that.

...seemed genuinely impressed and at least diplomatic. What it probably comes down to is her level of confidence that Michigan's NCAA violations won't be repeated (and won't affect Dee) and the perceived longevity of RR as head coach. On the other side of the coin, she has to weigh the strength of Michigan's academics vis-a-vis the other teams they're considering. No contest there.

The real test will be the interviews after she has spoken with RR.

makes me believe that she wouldn't blow smoke up anyone's ass. She came up her open minded and walked away impressed with the University, Rodriquez and the program that he runs. Just be happy that Michigan is in her good graces so that we might have a chance at signing her son.

Things do seem to be looking up again for us getting Hart. Mom being there, the mutual interest for so long, the family/friend connection.

I'm just trying to take the "not getting too optimistic" route. And for some reason, Haha's comments are gnawing at me. Maybe it's just hot-air, but it seems like a "I know something you don't" type of deal.

Man every time I see a thread about D-Hart my first thought always goes to Mike Hart

I guess this is as good a place as any to wonder aloud why we haven't heard about any commitments this weekend. I was vaguely hopeful we would get more than Beyer.

nothing to report, though, according to her Wall, if she were a badass movie character, apparently she would be al pacino in scarface

Sam Webb gave a pretty positive report of Hart's visit on today's recruiting roundup at WTKA. Said that Hart plans to be back next month for the Barbeque at the Big House and his father will be accompanying him on that trip.

Podcast can be found HERE.

I don't believe that they were being less than truthful about their love for Michigan, but Haha is hell bent on having Dee go to Alabama with him, so it will be an anxious wait.His two best friends, Ricardo vs. Haha in a recruiting battle. Place your bets.

Clinton-Dix is going to be a damn good college player. I'm disappointed that he's going to Alabama, but oh well. Hart sounds like a kid who's able to make up his own mind, though. I wouldn't be surprised to see him pick Michigan or even break free from all his teammate influences and head to Auburn.

I don't know if you can read the thoughts of Demetrius Hart's mom or not...

but I have a young cousin who is really interested in this kid named Austin. Can you tell me if Austin likes her as much as she likes him??

Thanks, that'd be great.

If anyone has a rivals account, check out the front page. There is a very encouraging article stating to watch for the BBQ at the Big House and that Hart will be making a huge decision.
