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.

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.

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.

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.
