Dee Hart Speaks and His Words are Reported
ESPN.com's Corey Long has written an article with extensive quotes from Dee Hart. Included are his impressions of Michigan, the effect or non-effect of RichRod's status, his view of DRob, and Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix's status. As previously reported, Hart will visit Ann Arbor for the Wisconsin game.
"Honestly it was a little close at first between Michigan and Alabama, but after a while I knew where I wanted to go."
"The Michigan fans are such friendly people, they make you feel comfortable and calm. They want you to enjoy the Michigan experience and take it all in. And the coaches are the same way. They wanted us to be around the team and experience everything first hand."
"I liked Michigan either way and if [Coach Rodriguez] were to leave it wouldn't affect me because I think I can play in any offensive system. So it really wasn't my concern. That being said I wanted to make sure everything came together. He's winning ball games right now and the future looks good so it's coming together."
There's much more there, so have at it.

We're glad to have Dee. He has the potential to be a good one.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:24 PM ^
and great article...sounds like a michigan man, through and through.
Only negative? Ha-Ha sounds like he is on his way to Bama...no surprise.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:31 PM ^
A few more Alabama losses and it will be interesting to see what happens.
October 12th, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
They're still a year removed from a national title. Saban is not going to get fired.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:29 PM ^
Maybe I need to brush up on my sign language, but who is Dee calling a pussy in that picture? haha

Larry David is the MAN
October 12th, 2010 at 6:24 PM ^
+1 for Larry David! Love that show and Seinfeld.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:29 PM ^
The last sentence speaks volumes. Kids has some foresight. So glad he is blue.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
good to see kids coming in that won't get your school in trouble by the things that they say. Dee seems like another one of these kids, and i don't think he will reflect negatively on our school in the future.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
Go Blue. Florida speed and power at a stadium in Ann Arbor near you. More to come in 2011!
October 12th, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
2011..... The year of the dreadlocked backfield!!!!!!
October 12th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
We already have that when Smith is in.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:51 PM ^
Dilithiumlocked backfield?
October 12th, 2010 at 4:53 PM ^
it'll be Dilithium and Deelithium.
October 12th, 2010 at 3:57 PM ^
Yes, but we don't have Double Ds in our backfield yet.
October 12th, 2010 at 4:12 PM ^
when Will Campbell lines up in the backfield in the Jumbo package....Zing!! I kid, it's just a joke... I have Moobs myself. So I can joke about these things....
October 12th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
Did anyone else read the comment about Double D's and immediately start thinking of how to turn it into a "your mom..." joke?
October 12th, 2010 at 3:55 PM ^
I am really disappointed in Dee's effort. I mean what ever happened to playing until the whistle sounded. I find it disappointing that he is giving up on HaHa so easily. Talk about a lack of effort. We know who is going to have to work extra hard for their wings.
/sarcasm.
October 12th, 2010 at 4:00 PM ^
You know, I think it would be a pretty good idea to make all freshmen earn their wings. Even let the best players at the position group decide when that player gets them. Can you imagine Will Campbell trying to live up to Mike Martin's expectations?
October 12th, 2010 at 3:57 PM ^
Class act!!! These are the kind of individuals you want representing your program.
October 12th, 2010 at 4:23 PM ^
That's giving me goosebumps just thinking about it. I hope Denard has posted what MSU's Kevin Pickelman said about him in his locker for motivation, "We contained him, we knew he couldn't throw the ball." Pretty classless to say that about a guy who has completed 67% of his passes, and still threw for over 200 yards against you.
October 12th, 2010 at 4:28 PM ^
This isn't bitter feelings. I don't remember hearing his name during the broadcast. I love how "containing" a QB for 87 yards is impressive.
I hope Pickles is around next year for Denard 3.0.
October 12th, 2010 at 4:32 PM ^
So he should be around.
October 12th, 2010 at 5:04 PM ^
Unless State's plan was to get beat on running plays and barely make lunging shoestring tackles and to leave receivers so wide open that Denard gets over-excited and overthrows them, then they didn't stop us as much as we stopped ourselves. What is frustrating is how many plays were an inch away from being big gainers or TDs, but just missed. Hopefully we will finally have a healthy team going to State next year (Shaw, Woolfolk, Toussaint, etc.), and show them just what this team can do.
Still, are you shocked that State showed a lack of class? Pickleman is a jackass, and we will see what he has to say when he gets teabagged by our offense on national TV next year.
October 12th, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
...because 97.1 is picking up the traditional media line of "MSU contained Denard's big running play, and when he had to pass he failed" (this wasn't even just jerks like Valenti, this was pretty much every non-UM slap host).
October 12th, 2010 at 7:28 PM ^
...contained.
Unfortunately, that's now "The Book" on Denard that *EVERYONE* (from writers, to radio,, to other coaches) in college football Intelligeista is now writing on Denard that "If you cut off his run lanes so that he has to throw, he'll make bad decisions". I personally think that's bull. But Denard is at the "Prove Them Wrong" point of his college career. If he does (and Michigan can upgrade their defense from "Worst in College Football" to "terrible") Michigan has a shot at a decent season.
If he doesn't? It's the 2009 collapse version 2.0 (and every anti-Rich Rod Blue fan is salivating at the thought of "More Traditional Big Ten QB" Devin Gardner starting at qb next year for Harbaugh...I know, I've had the bar conversations).

This storyline will only last a week.
October 12th, 2010 at 10:48 PM ^
What kind of stats might an angry DRob produce against Iowa? Might this produce an interesting situation if DRob goes off, and Norm Parker is trying to kick someone's ass around him?
October 12th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
Im seriously beginning to doubt whether Angry Dilithium exits. I've yet to see a shot of him where he didn't have that big ass grin on his face. For better or... this past saturday, you gotta love the kid.
October 13th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
in his post game presser there were several questions that he handled himself very nicely. but the body language, facial expressions and voice tone were different! he was matter of fact several times with serious intense competitive passion that comes when you lose! yet he did not embarass himself, his family or his university! DRob has class along with INTENSITY! rewatch his presser! I am stoked for saturday! GO BLUE beat iowa
