TomVH: Demetrius Hart Press Conference Update
I spoke with Demetrius today and there's been a slight change with his announcement. He and teammate LaQuentin Smith will be announcing together after their game on Friday.
The game should end around 9:30pm EST. Demetrius will be telling the coaches from each school what his decision is tomorrow morning as well.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:00 PM ^
So he didn't address/clear up the Orlando Sentinel thing at all?
I'd say that's not a good sign.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:08 PM ^
No offense, but why would he? The word has been Michigan and Auburn for so long and now with Auburn out of the picture, I think he likes the excitement this is building. If he clears it up, then we know it's Michigan.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:20 PM ^
Maybe. I hope that's what it is.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:23 PM ^
He cleared it up with me yesterday, it's just off the record. Like I said I'll tell you guys everything after his announcement.
October 7th, 2010 at 2:17 PM ^
Thanks, Tom.
October 7th, 2010 at 6:13 PM ^
Midnight! That's all I think about regarding the off the record info that TomVH has
October 7th, 2010 at 1:06 PM ^
Thanks Tom, I was expecting a post from you clarifing.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:09 PM ^
The guy on the punt return at the end of the film, guess who it was? Yessir, that was Dee Hart.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:22 PM ^
"I jump in iiiiit"
October 7th, 2010 at 2:12 PM ^
he is going to announce for Michigan. He wants Michigan fans to be watching and listening. Stay calm. This decision goes for us.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
Bob seger, Michigan style.......
October 7th, 2010 at 1:33 PM ^
to me this all seems like a clear case that hart hasn't really decided yet, the orlando sentinel knows that, but prints this bullshit article anyway in an attempt to influence the kid to go to bama. you have to wonder....
October 7th, 2010 at 1:40 PM ^
Why would a writer in Orlando want a high school football player to go play for Alabama?
October 7th, 2010 at 2:06 PM ^
is an excellent question.
October 7th, 2010 at 2:33 PM ^
...is a 'Bama fan.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:31 PM ^
Was listening to Rivals on Sirius this morning. Ferrall said the inside word is, is that Dee is going to play at the BIG HOUSE! Hope it's true.
October 7th, 2010 at 6:15 PM ^
Jay also tweeted this afternoon: "Got an anonymous call that said Demetrius Hart is going to commit to Michigan and not Alabama because Bama wants Isaiah Crowell."
October 7th, 2010 at 1:38 PM ^
October 7th, 2010 at 1:48 PM ^
It is somewhat funny that the one guy who actually knows something (Tom V) seems relatively calm while the rest of us who know nothing speculate wildly. Whatever decision is forthcoming has been made already and while i would dearly love to see Dee in a winged helmet next year I'd be far more apoplexic if he played defense.
October 7th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
TomVH is a professional. He isn't going to get panicky or excited about these kids. At least not in a public place. He's going to give us the facts when the kids give the okay for him to do so.
That's why TomVH is awesome.
October 7th, 2010 at 1:52 PM ^
Who is Demetrius Hart? I haven't heard of him before.
October 7th, 2010 at 2:03 PM ^
The next Jack Johnson for the hockey team, but he will stay for 4 years
October 7th, 2010 at 2:19 PM ^
He isn't Mike's, err, little brother, is he?
October 7th, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
Thanks again Tom for the update.
October 7th, 2010 at 3:05 PM ^
...football because he feels compelled to dance.
Edit: Seriously though, three words Dee uttered are all we need to remember:
PICK. YOUR. POISON.
October 7th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
Didn't see this in the comments and didn't want to post a new thread. The Orlando Sentinel published this new article:
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/recruiting/os-recruiting-dee-hart…
...and continued that stance on Thursday.
"Decision still coming Friday after the game," Hart said via text Thursday about 12:30. "Real high on Alabama. Roll Tide."
Hart hasn't really elaborated on why he stands with Alabama right now. When asked what was the one thing that puts Alabama on top for him, he texted, "Great run game."
And then this:
Hart is a fun-loving guy who is very low-key but likes to have fun and joke around. He could be just having some fun during his ride toward potential college stardom. Like they say, it's a free country.
And then more encouraging this!!!:
Hart also said this week he will be visiting Ann Arbor for the Wisconsin game Nov. 20 with teammates Ha'sean Clinton-Dix (Alabama commit), Roderick Ryles ( Arkansas commit), Darryl Monroe (Washington State commit)
If he's thinking Bama, why would he want to come up for the Wisconsin game? The OS sure is covering their butt with both ends to the debate

Does anyone know if Demar Dorsey is playing anywhere? I heard after Mich didn't accept him b/c of academics, he was going to play for Louisville and then I heard Fort Scott Community College in Kansas. He is not on either roster though....is he taking a year off?
