Is it Clinton-Dix that Sam won't reveal ?

Just listened to the podcast on WTKA recruiting roundup.... and Sam Webb said to remember what he saying that there is a good chance there will be a surprise top recruit next few weeks showing up to the game, that would "shock" everyone. He went on to say that he is not allowed to disclose who it is, at the behest of the recruit himself. Sam said it is not Sammy Watkins.

And if I recall, that Clinton-Dix accompanied Hart on his last trip to Ann Arbor, that Dix would not give permission to beat writer (I forgot who it was but I think it was Sam again) something along the lines of ''you better not report i'm here".

Putting two and two together, my money would be on Clinton-Dix who is this recruit Sam is not allowed to reveal.

Guesses

DeAnthony Thomas, Karlos Williams or Charles Jackson seem more likely than HCD but anyone one would be great

It'd be less shocking to see Clinton-Dix because he's already been up here with Hart.

quiqsilver

transcribed the conversation. I figure it might be good at the top so everyone can follow along the posts. Thanks to quiqsilver again.

Caller: There's rumors of a 5-star visiting in the next couple of weeks. Do you have any idea who that might be? Is it Jernigan -- somebody like that? Sammy Watkins returning?

Webb: Five star visiting in the next couple of weeks... You know, at this point, I think Sammy Watkins will be on campus for the Iowa game. Tentatively, he and Dallas Crawford are slated to come up on a visit, and Sammy Watkins is obviously a 5-star guy. But you know what -- how 'bout this. It is -- Michigan's start to the season has been head-turning, so just remember now what I'm saying. You'll look up in a week or two, and I think there is a very good chance that you'll look up and be shocked by at least one guy that you see at a game. Maybe two, but certainly one. Come back on the Recruiting Roundup at that time and say 'eh', this is who I was talking about. Not Sammy Watkins, who I expect to be on campus, at least tentatively that's the plan right now -- things can, and always do, change. But at this point, that's the plan. But no, another prospect. Based on the way that Michigan has started off the season, his interest has been piqued, and is planning a visit. And now, certainly is -- he's wanted to keep that out of the news, so I'm going to respect that for the time being. And obviously if and when he shows up on campus the cat will be out of the bag, but he is certainly saying that he wants to -- or he is certainly saying that he is giving Michigan another look, and we'll certainly report that when he gives us the word that we can, but at this point, he hasn't given us the word that we can yet. Hey, maybe he doesn't show up. But at this point, it certainly seems to be something that he is seriously contemplating. So, just a little heads-up for a future Recruiting Roundup, alright?

Trey DePriest? He sounds like a good fit for a surprise 5* trying to stay under the radar that casted us off. Also, I'm sure he sees immediate playing time at a position of need with 2 seniors graduating this year.

Karlos Williams is an absolute freak. Hands down the best player we could pick up. However, I think we have a snowball's chance in hell of actually getting him.

Sam, please prove me stupid.

Oh I guess I should learn to actually read the whole post. Someone is going to simply show up at a game? No offense to anyone/OP, but unless it's a commit I don't really care. Mea culpa.

Edit: Don't mean to come off as a dick, but I'm just done getting my hopes up on any recruits.

Williams also

trains with and is friends with Dee Hart and Nick Patti. I read somewhere Williams may visit with Nick Patti at some point.

This would be huge because both Nick and his father really like Michigan.

Clinton Dix

is extremely unlikely because, though he has been up here once, is commited to the #1 team in the country with maybe the best defensive coach in the country.

Going up to AA again would mean things be gettin real serious with M, which goes against the convential wisdom that he would be extemely hard to pull.

Other guys (Jackson, Thomas and Williams) are uncommited or kinda softer than HCD, in my opinion.

As TomVH has updated

Ha-Ha is coming back up with Dee on an unofficial visit so if Sam is keeping this info to himself, the cat is out of the bag. I'm sure it is someone else, maybe DePreist or Karlos.

I don't think Ray Drew would be "shocking." I'm pretty sure he has already mentioned wanting to visit Michigan. I'm guessing it's Williams.

Karlos Williams

Williams has stated in the past that he is keeping an eye on UM, and how they do this season. With our success this year, I think he will end up taking a visit.

Jernigan's already said he'd be visiting,

though according to Tim's recruiting post today he hasn't picked a game. (This is assuming that "Jerigan" is just a typo and not some 5* whiz none of us has ever heard of, in which case he would be a pretty big surprise.)

They do this every yr, some player will visit and it will shock

everyone...he is going to visit..... game....

Game comes and goes, no visit, doesn't happen...then comes the well..... coach got a hold of it and put a stop to it...... then they say it was a msu recruit that really wanted michigan but someone interfered and won't let them do it.....

yes we know fred smith was kidnapped so he couldn't visit michigan as was charles burrell, will gholston wasn't allowed to visit as was others. Sorry I am no longer on this bandwagon of msu can stop a hs kid from visiting michigan...... BS.

BTW, everyone is free to call me out if I am wrong! Don't get be wrong, I like samwebb and the crew, but this is about keeping people hanging on....and it could be recruits doing it, but I do not buy it at all....NEXT

He probably wants to check out the UM/MSU game and score some tickets. Didn't Maurice Clarett try to do this after he committed to OSU?

My $$ is on DeAnthony Thomas, although the "shock everyone" quote leads me to suspect it's a Buckeye commit that will be here. Braxton Miller or Trey DuPriest? Nothing would make me happier than for us to start stealing OSU's commits; not surprising though, as we're becoming the most exciting program in college football. Go Blue!!
