TomVH: Demetrius Hart Eliminates Auburn *Press Conference*
I couldn't say anything about this before, apparently it's ok to be in the public now, Demetrius has eliminated Auburn. This Orlando Sentinel article says he's down to Alabama and Michigan.
I was told almost immediately after his visit to Auburn that he knew that wasn't the school for him. His uncle said it was a 7 out of 10, and Demetrius just didn't feel like it was the right place. So Friday, between Alabama and Michigan.
**EDIT** Demetrius sent me a text tonight announcing that there will be a press conference at Dr. Phillips High School at noon on Friday.

Is anyone else worried about those assault allegations at his high school against the Varsity team by the freshman who came in the wrong door of the locker room after practice? Honestly, if it's found that he took part in any way, I want his offer revoked. I don't care how good he is...

Easy negative Nancy. Don't be such a buzz kill. I don't think RR would accept his commitment on friday if he had anything to do with that story. That's assuming it is an accurate article.

It's been almost a month since this happened, apparently there's been no developments....for cryin' out loud, they are fucking ALLEGATIONS at this stage without any sort of detail.
Poor form, sir.

You have a point, it took a month before the story of MSU's basketball players got out and 7 months for the story on Dion Sims... But obviously if he comes to Michigan than nothing will be assessed. Michigan players don't do anything wrong.

Two thumbs up!!!

I find myself wondering which recruit I am going freak out about committing next after Dee's decision. Frost and Zettel seem like good candidates.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:43 PM ^
Both sound like excellent candidates. But I think the answer is Avery Walls... who will also be enrolling early and thus deciding soon. Frost and Zettel are not enrolling early.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:56 AM ^
Ah, but Frost and Zettel are the next two that have been so-called Michigan leans. Walls doesn't quite fit. Zettel will be Blue eventually. He's looking for success, he'll get it. Frost is looking at out-of-state schools, I think Frost is the guy. That he's not enrolling early makes it better because the freakout can last into the dead of winter. Commence freaking.

I added this to the original post, but to make sure everyone sees it, Demetrius sent me a text saying that he is holding a press conference on Friday at noon.

can't wait

be as awesome as the Stokes announcement? Who wants to work from 11:30AM - 4PM this Friday?
October 5th, 2010 at 12:10 AM ^
Whatever happened to the 3 star corner Daren Kitchen? I was reading months ago that he was a sure Wolverine when we would offer him and we did and then would be announcing soon. Now I'm reading Texas A&M and us are his final two. I'm not saying he is a high caliber recruit but any secondary depth helps tremendously. Any news would be great. Thanks.

Why would a recruit schedule a visit to Michigan after he's commited to 'Bama.
I have a feeling - he will announce on Friday and come down for a visit to his new home.
Wonder if he has any other visits scheduled to 'Bama after the announcement - hope not.
Dr. Philips/ Pahokee/ Cass Tech - now we only need to tap Glenville/ Rennaisance and we'll be unstoppable.

One of the top 5 backs in the country just named Bama as his leader. This is the best news yet that Dee is going Blue. No way that both Crowell and Hart choose Bama.
October 5th, 2010 at 8:31 AM ^
The gif above and debate re: Saban vs. RR in a ninja fight to the death (though that was Kung Fu in the gif) got me wondering.
Dee goes Blue and is supposedly bringing HaHa back up again for a visit. We have a mystery 5 star coming for Iowa (maybe Trey DePriest). How much of a coup if we pull Dee, Depriest, and HaHa from Saban?
October 5th, 2010 at 8:50 AM ^
I am sure that Dee's family is doing the math. He can be in Michigan's class of 20 and probably start next year, or he can be in Alabama's class of 300, be asked to grey shirt, and be fourth on the depth chart in his senior year.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:39 AM ^
He certaining is not in the Coffee, Ingram, Richardson mold.
Hart, Frost, Zettel, Walls...thats what I'm talk'in about!!
October 5th, 2010 at 10:53 AM ^
One of the articles last week mentioned that Bama wanted to play Hart on defense.
Does anyone know if that's legit or if the writer just had it wrong?
October 5th, 2010 at 11:08 AM ^
Bama was looking at Dee playing some defense possibly but their intent was for him to be a slot receiver and not a runningback. He comes to AA and he is the ultimate sidekick to Denard. Who wouldn't he want that?
