TomVH: Demetrius Hart Eliminates Auburn *Press Conference*
I couldn't say anything about this before, apparently it's ok to be in the public now, Demetrius has eliminated Auburn. This Orlando Sentinel article says he's down to Alabama and Michigan.
I was told almost immediately after his visit to Auburn that he knew that wasn't the school for him. His uncle said it was a 7 out of 10, and Demetrius just didn't feel like it was the right place. So Friday, between Alabama and Michigan.
**EDIT** Demetrius sent me a text tonight announcing that there will be a press conference at Dr. Phillips High School at noon on Friday.

I can't stop watching that. It's mesmerizing...
October 5th, 2010 at 12:59 AM ^

October 4th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
Thanks again Tom!
October 4th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
Good thing Tom has more than 100 points
October 4th, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
But every time I see your comments, I actually think it's Brian for a second.
It's weird and entertaining all at the same time.
October 4th, 2010 at 11:23 PM ^
I feel like every time you post Brian is just going "eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh", in a semi-disgusted, exasperated way.
October 4th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
If dee hart has already chosen UM, why just eliminate Auburn? Does this mean his mind isn't made up? Am I the only one who thinks of good news in such a skeptical way?
<br>
October 4th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
I think he is probably just playing the game.
October 5th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
You overanalyze dee like you overanalyzed chemistry. we both graduated tho lol!
damn
October 4th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
I have a bad feeling about this for some reason. That's no moon...
October 4th, 2010 at 9:50 PM ^
*Waits anxiously for the "Demetrius Hart eliminates Alabama" thread*
October 4th, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
Can you feel it.....
Can you sense it....
5-0......
Dateline - October 10/8/10 - Dee commits.....
Dateline - October 10/9/10 - Michigan destroys MSU, goes 6-0, start making bowl plans
Dateline - October 10/11/10 - 97.1 'The Ticket' has a serious meltdown show....
The world is coming back to order.....
October 4th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
I think they hear us coming...
October 4th, 2010 at 9:59 PM ^
And they are all quietly cursing behind closed doors knowing that a new dawn of domination is coming and there is nothing they can do to stop it...........
October 4th, 2010 at 10:02 PM ^
This offense is absolutely blowing up. Once we beat MSU this weekend, order will be restored.
October 4th, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
There will still be some unfinished business just to the south of us. Only then will everything be right again.......
October 4th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
Ever more shocking proof that Rivals doesn't know what they are talking about when they said Dee "LOVED" Auburn and rated it 9 out of 10. This follow-up article provided by TomVH says he eliminated Auburn immediately after going as he didn't see himself there.
For reference:
October 4th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
They quoted Dee's take on the visit. What do you want them to do, say "Although 4 star RB Demetrius Hart says his visit was a 9 out of 10, he's actually lying"?
I'd rather they report the facts and let everyone else decipher whether he's telling the truth.
October 4th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
En garde!!!!
October 5th, 2010 at 8:31 AM ^
In the end, Rivals is a business that focus on their bottom line than providing real accurate information.
October 4th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
why go to Alabama? If they happen to sign a higher rated recruit next year or the year after you, you may well become a victim of the Saban oversigning.
Alternatively, you also may get one of their mysterious unnecessary medical red shirts.
Moreover, if you get a degree from Alabama, you will be treated like a God in that state for employment, but who wants to live there full time? Michigan is a national (and international) degree that will open many doors!
Go Blue!
October 4th, 2010 at 9:56 PM ^
All Michigan football players receiving a degree get treated pretty nice as well with hook-ups for jobs. One big happy family and connections.

Hard to bet against a best friend having a lot of influence on a decision
October 4th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
I haven't even seen the usual post-visit fluff article.
October 4th, 2010 at 10:02 PM ^
I agree with the theory that he likes Michigan better but Alabama is closer to home. I think we overcome that and he goes Blue.
October 4th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
But with his skill set, wouldn't it be more fun for a kid to be in the backfield with D Rob?

Saban has a weak pitch (even if that was for LSU). Dee is going *b*l*u*e.
October 4th, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
I don't have a good feeling on this one. I sure hope Sam Webb does.
October 4th, 2010 at 10:12 PM ^
Sam has a gut feeling.... This is Lock City USA. Hello.......
October 4th, 2010 at 10:18 PM ^
This class could be scary if we can put together a few more wins here, my fingers are crossed.

...my stress level just dropped a few notches.
Just can't see Dee going to Bama.

Make an intelligent and careful collegiate decision based upon the most important criterion:
THE SCHOOL WITH THE COOLEST HELMET: (Hint: It ain't the red one.)
...and always remember: Better dead than red.

Tom,
Ricardo Mller unfriended basically all the Michigan fans that he had on his facebook. What should i think of this move? Just coincidence to this weeks announcement?
October 4th, 2010 at 10:58 PM ^
I think we need to respect a recruit's wishes when he wants to make a decision and keep people in the dark just prior to it. The posting earlier today reading into Dee Hart's post on Ricardo's facebook page might be stealing Hart's thunder, and I think that starts to irritate these guys. I know, I know, it's the internet age and whatever's out there is seemingly fair game. But I would bet if we cooled off on some of this "stalking" then we might actually get more information from these guys via more traditional routes, aka Sam Webb, TomVH, "insiders," etc...
October 4th, 2010 at 11:15 PM ^
I agree whole heartedly, but not even Sam Webb made the cut of who he unfriended. I just wanted an opinion from Tom.
October 5th, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
calm yo'self
October 6th, 2010 at 12:58 AM ^
I was never worked up, and btw i am still a friend of his on FB. It was just a curiosity question.
October 4th, 2010 at 10:59 PM ^
You should think that he realized it was not a good idea to have 2000 people as friends that you dont know.
