Mike enjoyed his experience at the Army AA combine but wished he could have had more time to show his skills. Due to the number of participants, Mike felt that the low amount of reps did not offer that opportunity. He is already hearing from a number of schools such as Purdue, Michigan, Syracuse and Cincinnati. He already has a rapport with Coach Tressel due to Brian's recruiting. An early list of favorites, if he had to name one, would be tOSU, Michigan, and Purdue. He is not worried about competition as he will face it at any school he chooses. Also, the possibility of a Hartline family divide, if he should choose Michigan, will not factor into his decision as he is confident his family would support his choice. Hartline will complete a thorough camp schedule this summer by visiting his listed favorites and probably Cincinnati. He plans on enjoying the entire recruiting process so do not expect an early commitment. He does admit that the chance to join his brother in Columbus is appealing, but will not be a deciding factor. He is currently participating on the track team where he is a hurdler and a member of the 4X400 team.
