Dee Hart (YTDH) Tears ACL
I felt very sad to hear this news. Hope this kid is able to fully recover. Best wishes to Dee and his family.
Right now it's alot of twitter buzz, but no official word just yet. I hope this is similar to the "Taylor Martinez is leaving Nebraska" twitter rampage. But this might have some teeth.

OK. You're a flaming asshole.
it would've been better if you would've said "syphilitic" or something instead of "flaming." - it's just childish man, grow up.
Since Dee Hart was formerly committed to Michigan, and is a top incoming and talented recruit for a large program that Michigan will play soon, and thus is a player that college football fans might find worth a watch or follow; and this being a blog that tends to run the gamut as far as sports related news is concerned, I believe this topic falls easily under the "normalcy" of the board.
I don't disagree with that premise in the least, fine sir- however, the player Dee Hart, specifically, has been grossly over reported into the realm of utter madness and infatuation in the past year. I'm merely the humble, dissenting view.
Plus you guys were all bored as hell tonight anyway. Admit it.
I understand, but this doesn't seem to be one of those Dee Hart gots a Bama boner what do you think about that? threads. If he did tear an ACL it's a pretty significant injury for a RB, or anybody for that matter. Shit, if my mom tore her ACL I might post it.
How bout this, if your mom tears her ACL, God forbid, I'll bake some cookies and have those bad boys expressed right over there with a nice card and some flowers to boot . Deal?
'Round these parts...Brian Cook is King MIchigan.
on the thread knowing full well what it's about. There's this abilities humans were given to, ya know, ignore things that you don't wanna hear about.
Was this directed to me? SEE ABOVE. I'm watching TOP GUN.
totally agree, too many people around here try to get brownie points by pretending they give a shit about a kid from some other school who got a boo boo. if they really do, that's sad and, as you said, they need more things to care about.
So if a fan from MSU or Florida or Duke expresses sympathy for Austin Hatch, you'd tell him that he needs more things to care about, right?
I mean this with all the decency I can muster, you sir are an asshole.
Good luck to the kid...hope for a speedy recovery.
Only because you asked so nicely.
This is because of Under the Lights jerseys.
I would tag you as an asshole if I could.
It would get a good workout tonight.
Man.. This really is Hart breaking. More like ACL, but good luck to the young fella!
Funny guy. You're such a hokester.
status-post ACL reconstruction, so I am especially empathetic to his plight. I wish him a speedy recovery, but man he's got quite a road ahead of him!
Why he actually decommited. I know it was because of the coaching change, but anything else?
Yes I wish Dee would've gone to Michigan as much as the next guy, but no matter who he plays, a young man with a future much brighter than he will ever realize, it is tragic to see a major injury happen. Some guy just never recover from stuff like this, hopefully Dee recovers well
The only source of this info comes from an Auburn message board poster, and no one has confirmed it. Also, the story "broke" at 9:30 pm, a little strange. Auburn = a more successful Michigan State; their entire lives are dedicated to worrying about Alabama.
I'll believe it when a respected news source confirms it.
For better or worse, this isn't the Michigan he signed up for. When you combine the CC with "southern hospitality" and "hostesses," I don't blame him for signing with Alabama. He wasn't a diva about it and didn't badmouth the University of Michigan.
They are doing wonders with ACL tears nowadays, but it still takes well over a year for most people to truly get back to 100 percent. I don't really ever remember anyone being a hundred percent his first season back from an ACL tear. Usually, the first season back, most players look decent, but don't have the "it factor" that they had before the injury. The lucky ones get it back the following season. The unlucky ones never do.
Hopefully, Hart gets to have a long and productive career. If not, I hope he takes advantage of the scholarship and gets a degree.
Vincent Smith tore his ACL and looked better this spring than he did for the entire 2010 season. Considering the original injury took place in November 2009, that's about a 16-month recovery time.
Feel awful for the kid. Should be a tremendous player and this is truely unfortunate.
Also, what other Dee Hart would this be?
That said, at least he has a redshirt year...
BTN carissa's (?) "Tate transferring" tweet turned out to be correct in the end; I wonder if she ever gloated about that. I would have.
Wow, MgoVillain had a memorable melt down up there on 2 threads! Bet he has quite a hangover this AM.
Would have been better if the Negs had teeth. I do hope Dee gets his scholarship honored or this could be a Nick Saban call out if he sticks to his MO.
The only scholarships he has pulled are from kids that get in trouble with the law or don't make grades. Saban's issue is the medical scholarship thing, in which case the kids still go to school for free. You would worry about Hart losing his scholarship if it was Nutt, Miles, or Spurrier.
Arrested and now THIS?!?!?! WHY!?!?!?
This might be yet another example of how important it is for kids to pursue their academics in addition to the athletics. There's a pretty long line of players whose NFL dreams ended during a doctor's consult.
That's some bad news if true. I really feel for the kid.
care about guys who run the ball for M!
No ill will, I wish Dee didn't get hurt, but oh well. At this point I care a lot more about Shaw, Cox, Smith, Hopkins, Rawls, etc...
Way to take the high road.
I hope Hart a full and speedy recovery. But I also fear now that he'll be admitted to the Nick Saban Medical Hospital any day now.
Sorry to hear, good luck to him.
If there's a silver lining here, it's that this will mean that we won't have a million updates on his 2011 season, complete with people arguing that he alone would have saved RR's job (despite not playing on the defensive side of the ball).
Time to move on guy.
Thanks for trolling.
Interesting bit of info...
Dr. Phillips had to forfeit their entire 2010 season due to an ineligible player from outside their district. Wonder if all of Dee's records will stand.
But he chose Bama in the end. It still is newsworthy hearing about a recruit who was close to signing a LOI for us! I wish him all the best and hope he can play in a few years. Though, with Bama's talent he may have a tough time ever starting!
