TomVH: Demetrius Hart Update
I got a phone call this morning from Demetrius' Hart's Mom.......and the visit is 99.9% happening this weekend, according to her. There was a mix up with the paperwork, and they thought all the paperwork had to be completed, which apparently wasn't the case.
He was going to still postpone the visit because he wanted his uncle to come up with him, since his mom came on the last trip.They got that worked out though, and his uncle will be joining Demetrius this weekend.
They'll be arriving on Saturday and leaving on Monday. This is very very big for Michigan, obviously.

And with any luck I'll see your HAIL YES and raise you a HELLO:.
August 31st, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
I could have used a few !!11!1!!!!1!1!!1's after my woo hoo.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
I like good news.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Outstanding news. Dee Hart in for the rededication game, in that atmosphere, will be tough for him to cast aside.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Yes, yes, Y-E-S.
August 31st, 2010 at 2:09 PM ^
As I had the same response you did, "Y-E-S" with a fist pump in the air, a co-worker looked at me weird.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:13 PM ^
What a wonderful thing to wake up to. Thanks Tom!
August 31st, 2010 at 2:18 PM ^
Excited otter approves!
September 1st, 2010 at 9:07 AM ^
...Henri so delirious with excitement. It's a welcome change.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:19 PM ^
Bring on the dreads!
August 31st, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
August 31st, 2010 at 12:23 PM ^
is HaHa coming too?
August 31st, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
Would love to see a Hello: Dee Hart post following a Michigan win on saturday. Also I'm guessing this increases the likelihood of Clinton-Dix coming up with him? I know he's already committed but what he would witness on saturday will be unlike anything he's ever seen.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:32 PM ^
So there is Demetrious' mom, his uncle, the junior QB, and HaSean . . . that's quite a posse. IIRC, there was someone wanting his visit to be on the QT. Would that be HaHa? Where do they put visitors up--in campus housing, a hotel, something else? And what do coaches do with recruits on an official visit during the season? I would think that they are pretty busy with game preparation, etc., so as not to have much time until after the game, when you would be exhausted anyway. Regardless, this is great news . . . thank you, Tom.
August 31st, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
I'm not sure if his mom is coming this time. She made it seem like she came last time, so now it's her husband's turn. Not sure, though.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
This is going to be the best decade of michigan football since
ever. Yessss!
August 31st, 2010 at 12:49 PM ^
You say stop, and I say go, go, go.
Oh no -
you say goodbye, and I say...
August 31st, 2010 at 1:09 PM ^
I love you won't you tell me your name. Hello I love you let me jump in your game...
August 31st, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
"Hello? Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes.
I can see it in your smile..."
August 31st, 2010 at 12:52 PM ^
Mealer stories could bring tears to my eyes.
August 31st, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
Good news for my Tuesday.
August 31st, 2010 at 1:06 PM ^
This feels unnatural. 0.1% chance dong punch will surely follow. 
August 31st, 2010 at 1:16 PM ^
Your long months of despression and general excitement and anxiety about the approaching football season are now just hours away from drawing to a close, and to top it off, a prized recruit will be making a visit for the game.
>Wait... I'm confused. That really IS good news.
Yes. I know. Horrifyingly unsettling, isn't it?
August 31st, 2010 at 1:27 PM ^
Would like to see him omg shirtless with a big block M or better yet, Hello painted on his chest.
edit: Dee Hart, that is. Heck.... HaHa too
August 31st, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
What awesome news, we really needed to get him up here to see the stadium re-dedication and the awesome atmosphere it's going to be.
September 1st, 2010 at 7:22 AM ^
August 31st, 2010 at 1:26 PM ^
An impressive win against UConn followed by a verbal commitment from Dee Hart should create some positive momentum on the recruiting trail. Hope this comes to pass.
August 31st, 2010 at 1:35 PM ^
This news warms the Hart.
August 31st, 2010 at 1:37 PM ^
What to look forward to more, the first UFR of the season or the Hello post?
August 31st, 2010 at 1:40 PM ^
That really made my day!
August 31st, 2010 at 2:04 PM ^
An entire generation of pet names in Michigan three years from now hinge on this visit and commitment. Do the right thing, Demetrius. Do it for the all the dogs who want a cool name.
August 31st, 2010 at 2:08 PM ^
Editors everywhere who have had to actually work a little to come up with headlines for Michigan games since the end of 2007 desperately need a break. Commit, so we can get back to the easy stuff:
Hart of the team
Hart and soul
Michigan has their Hart back
Hart attack leaves opponent floored
The Hart of the matter
August 31st, 2010 at 2:10 PM ^
The MSM (and Brad Nessler in particular) took a serious hit when Brandon Minor departed.
August 31st, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
getting Hart would be a Minor miracle?
September 1st, 2010 at 12:52 AM ^
"The MSM (and Brad Nessler in particular) took a MAJOR hit when Brandon Minor departed."
September 1st, 2010 at 12:30 AM ^
August 31st, 2010 at 2:05 PM ^
In the big picture, does it really matter if Hart visits for UConn or another game?
Its nice an all that he can come in earlier in the season, but I'm not getting why the timing of this visit is so make-or-break as to warrant all the woo-hoos and high-5ing.
Am I missing some key info?
August 31st, 2010 at 2:48 PM ^
Just imagine the setting Saturday. First game of season. Opponents in the top 25. Brock. Dedictaion of "new" stadium. Flyover. Mealer.
It's just an atmosphere that is hard to top. Not gonna get the same thing during the Umass or Bowling Green game.
August 31st, 2010 at 5:23 PM ^
but Iowa, Wisc, and especially MSU?
I have trouble seeing this as being much more than a marginal shift in the liklihood of seeing a committment.
August 31st, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
The weather will be cold by those games. Not exactly the best situation for trying to make a good impression with Florida recruits.
August 31st, 2010 at 2:08 PM ^
Amazing news. This week and weekend will be glorious for us Wolverines! GO BLUE
August 31st, 2010 at 2:09 PM ^
The staff just needs to make sure they allow Dee plenty of time with Ricardo. If Dee is anything like Ricardo, we will get a young man loaded with talent and loaded with even more respect for his peers and family.
August 31st, 2010 at 2:16 PM ^
Agreed. If Dee is a recruiting diplomat like Ricardo, then he could be huge in getting HaHa to come to UM.
August 31st, 2010 at 4:56 PM ^
Yes!!! Getting them on campus and putting on a great show gives us a huge possibility of the Hello: Dee Hart post coming in the near future. Dude is perfect for our offense. Imagining him and DG in the backfield brings a tear of happiness to my eyes. Thanks for the update Tom. This made my day!!
