Michigan Thursday: Recruiting Blitz

This is like a" run" recruiting blitz update today but with some tasty nuggets in there for you that follow the recruiting trail. 

• The #1 Safety in the country and current Alabama commit Hasean Clinton-Dix will be making another visit to Ann Arbor for the Illinois game with Dee and the Dr. Phillips crew (Chris Gallon WR, Darryl Monroe LB, Roderick Ryles S, 2012 QB Nick Patti) .  If I had to guess, Michigan is trying to put together a Miami Heat like package (no not money!) for the Dr. Phillips guys that would include them all playing together next year.  Dee Hart is already verbally committed and now Clinton-Dix could be re-considering his verbal to Bama.   There are a number of other Dr. Phillips prospects that Michigan is looking at as well.  There were Michigan coaches at their high school just this week.  It seems Michigan would be one of the only schools that could take 3 or 4 Dr. Phillips players.  Let me tell you that with a lot of certainty that Clinton-Dix would be starting right now for the Wolverines.

• Offensive Lineman from Chicago Chris Bryant will be visiting Ann Arbor again in December. 

• TomVH from Mgoblog says that some Michigan coaches will be at Anthony Arnett's football game on Saturday.  Anthony is a State of Michigan player who dropped U of M from his list a number of months ago.   Maybe the young man is reconsidering Michigan and his future with Dee and Denard?

• There is a lot of Michigan negative recruiting going on in the recruitment of Anthony Zettel.  Michigan still remains the leader but State and PSU are a close second.

• Sam Webb has an update on the 2012 Chris Wormley Michigan offer.

• It seems Michigan might be slow playing QB Kevin Sousa from Florida.  Kevin is setting up other visits this Fall.   Michigan had QB Marquise Williams in for an official visit as well (who is currently verballed to NC)

• Iowa visitor Tim Jernigan is one of the top DT in the 2011 class and will be seriously considering Michigan.  The rumor that he is a lock to Florida is not correct.  He will be visiting Florida, FSU and LSU as well. 

• Dallas Crawford and Sammy Watkins have both Miami and Michigan very high on their list.  We know Michigan leads for Dallas and most insiders expect that Clemson leads for Sammy.

• Like we expected AJ Jordan committed to Wisconsin on Wednesday.   It seems Michigan feels confident with some of the WR's that are still in the fold.
