we don't need him. he's a great player but we'll be fine either way.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
To clarify the people who will say he sucks are childish, the people who say we dont need him arent being childish although most of those people who say we dont need him were probably the first to say he is the savior of michigan football when he committed

Talked to one of my friends today that I used to play high school football with and he is a kicker. When i asked him about his college search he said Michigan is starting to talk to him a little bit. His name is Aaron Mick and I'm sorry I don't have much more proof than what the kid tells me but I figured it could be something that may turn into a positive. This year he hit a 52 yarder 6th on the MHSAA record list. He goes to Parkway Christian Schools. Since I am new here i didnt know how to start a new topic and I dont know how to embed things but here is his recruiting film. Other schools that have shown interest in him are Stanford, Illinois, Grand Valley State, Central Michigan, and now UofM. He told me he would be willing to take a walk on just wants to play football. Sorry that i dont have much proof and the kid is not on any of the recruiting sites i dont believe (I'm an espn insider so thats where my info comes from.)
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
How are you doing this fine evening?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
Swear im not his parents but like i said im a pretty good friend to the kid. He was just in Texas for a college kicking camp, I graduated from the same school as him and played with him. I got to CMU as you can see from the name mgochips
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:45 PM ^
Why would Dee switch his commitment to a school that wants him primarily as a returner/DB? Isn't that what Alabama recruited him as?
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
Hasn't "Bama had some RB decomits recently?
Combine that with Dee's ridiculous offensive numbers this year, plus HaHa. = Roll Tide.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:45 PM ^
my hopes on one commit but I'm afraid we're in for a lot more of this in the next 4 weeks.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:47 PM ^
Hopefully Dee's next tweet:
I play, coach stays...he goes I go.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
Theres going to be many changes over the next two months, no point in freaking out everyday. Lets just have faith that all will end well.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
I only bring that up since this has a similar storyline...although this Dee Hart drama could in fact be legit (I don't have exclusive forum subscriptions so until the man comes out and says it, it's a rumor in my book). Regardless of this rumor/innuendo that's come to light tonight, we all know this negativity's affect on our fan base can be nicely summed up by this:
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:16 PM ^
Mohawks?
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
Big Will was a strong Michigan commit from the beginning (and we had homefield advantage with him being from Cass Tech); his "umm I might be changing my mind" happened later in the process.
Given the uncerainty regarding RR's job security continuing to cloud the air until the bowl game, I think this rumor (if true) would be a lot more worrying than Big Will's theatrics.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
how long have you been waiting to try and shoehorn that gif. into a thread?
I think you probably should have kept waiting, but what do I know?
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
Rivals now has something posted about this on Alabama's board.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
I know this was expected to happen eventually, but did Rivals really suddenly give Dee his 5th star once these rumors started?
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:12 PM ^
"possible 5-star"
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
... This is an 18 year old kid. It is not the end of the world. We will be okay. He may still even come here. If he doesn't, we'll get someone else who is very good. I promise it will be okay.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:51 PM ^
maybe it has nothing to do with RR's status. Maybe Hart is disenchanted with the team's performance in the last two games. Kids are like that.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:23 PM ^
You have no power here.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:05 PM ^
NDNation sucks. Just sayin.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:51 PM ^
Looking around the internet tonight...man, there are a shit-ton of Michigan "fans" acting like jilted high school girls about this. It's times like this when it's embarrassing being in the same set as Michigan fans and/or sports fans...a lot of us are really emotionally immature and get our sense of self-worth in the wrong place.
*Note: forgot Dee was an early enrollee in my post above. Still...
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
I agree.
This thread feels like a group of 12 year old girls being visited by their first episode of menstruation.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:01 PM ^
I never thought it'd be like this!
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
You should've been on Haloscan in 2007. This is calm compared to the furor over the rumored hiring of Kirk Ferentz.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
people are emotionally damaged, I think they're lamenting that we've lost a 5-star running back.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
We haven't lost a 5-star recruit. That's why they're called rumors.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:55 PM ^
...when a mans word..was no longer his bond.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:59 PM ^
I thought he was suppose to be recruiting Cliton-Dix for us, not the other way around.
December 2nd, 2010 at 11:46 PM ^
Dee Hart is a double agent trained in the snake oil arts and he's going deep undercover to get both HaHa and Trey DePriest to come with him to Michigan.
/at least I can hope
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:07 PM ^
I wonder how much they are paying his mom..
/s
kinda
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:08 PM ^
are the moderators when we need to quell this hysterical bullshit? God it has been a long stretch. I feel like Drew Sharp is at the controls here. WTF?
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
Uh oh
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:08 PM ^
Well a lot of people think very highly of Justice Hayes.
So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:09 PM ^
I want him
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:09 PM ^
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:09 PM ^
I thought we needed defensive help more than another running back? Michigan is bigger than a single recruit or a single coach!
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:12 PM ^
I blame this decommitment to all the bloggers and fans who do nothing but hate on RR and the Michigan program. The Michigan blogoshpere is crowded with negativity. How can you expect an 18 year old kid, to buy-in to some thing that the so-called fan base doesn't? You are basically expecting him to be more of a man than you are. (by you I mean the haters).
We talk all about being "all in for michigan". That applies to the fans. So support your boys and their coach. And if RR is fired support the next guy too. If not, grab a beer and enjoy some football. Let the decisions be sorted out by the authorities who actually have the power to do something, as opposed to reinforcing this vicious cycle of negativity.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
Ginger Snaps? Literally...
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:49 PM ^
THAT'S WHY I'M SCREAMING! DON'T YOU SEE? I HAVE A SOUL!
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:59 PM ^
"Anyway, I think that's all I have to say."
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:15 PM ^
If Dee flips to Alabama, blame nobody but RR and/or DB.
If Brandon were committed to RR, Hart would likely stay. He's an RR guy. But Brandon isn't committed to RR, so Hart isn't committed, either. Can't blame the kid.
DB is in a position to solidify the situation. But he isn't doing so. So it's on him. And it's on RR for putting him in this position. Don't blame the fans and media for creating the "negativity." Obviously, DB doesn't feel positive about RR. It's his call.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:17 PM ^
You know something that we don't?
do tell...
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:47 PM ^
Since Brandon hasn't explicitly said "RR will be back next year," but instead "Let's wait til after the bowl game," yes, I think it's far to say that Brandon is not (at the moment) committed to RR.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
He's not committed to breaking his word simply bc rumors of a change swirl.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
Without this class's crown jewel, it becomes a little easier decision for DB. Maybe not a lot, but the scale leans a tiny bit more in that direction...
Sucks for RR that this has all been breaking during the Bust so he couldn't really take any action.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
is a fan of Mgoblog. Hopefully he can call DH personally to get him to stay. that would be nice.
