| Corona (CA) Centennial offensive guard Cameron Hunt |
Delano Hill - CB - Detroit (MI) Cass Tech: Hill committed to Michigan in December after an unofficial visit to the campus. This is his official visit.
Cameron Hunt - OG - Corona (CA) Centennial: Here's a scouting report I wrote up on Hunt back in November. He played in the Under Armour All-America Game on Friday night and earned positive reviews for his technique, but he's still pretty thin and probably a couple years away from being bulky enough to play at the college level. There have been some rumblings from 2013 commits that it's just a matter of time until Hunt commits to Michigan, and he reportedly hung out with the Michigan-bound guys during the week. I would not be surprised if he commits over the weekend. This is his official visit.
Patrick Kugler - C - Wexford (PA) North Allegheny: Kugler committed to Michigan back in February and participated in the Under Armour All-America Game last weekend. He was originally scheduled to take his official visit on January 18, but he reportedly wants to be in town at the same time as Hunt, with whom Kugler bonded at the Under Armour game. This is his official visit.
J.J. McGrath - K - Macomb (MI) Lutheran North: McGrath is a 6'3", 228 lb. kicker with a lone offer from Air Force. As a senior in 2012, he was 8/11 on field goals with makes from 57, 54, 53, 50, and 49 yards. He also averaged 43.8 yards per punt. Michigan already has three kickers on scholarship, but two will be seniors and the third will be a junior in 2013; there's also a chance that senior punter Will Hagerup has worn out his welcome after being suspended three times throughout his career. McGrath also visited in September for the game against Air Force. (Highlights.)
Dan Samuelson - OG - Plymouth (IN) Plymouth: Samuelson is a 6'5", 290 lb. offensive guard prospect who is currently committed to Nebraska. He was also previously committed to Pitt and holds offers from Illinois and Minnesota. Samuelson visited Michigan on their huge recruiting weekend of December 15, and he has already stated that he plans to announce his "decision" of whether to flip to Michigan or remain committed to the Cornhuskers on Monday, January 14. In my opinion, Hunt is the superior prospect and if Michigan plans to take just one more lineman, I would hope Hunt commits before Samuelson. (Highlights.)
Offers from Air Force are incredibly difficult to come by. A decision between Air Force and Michigan is a life changer on a whole different level. This one is real interesting, at least to me. I'd have have a tough time turning down the Air Force Academy ..... even for Michigan.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that a HS kicker who has hit four FG of 50+ yards and averaged nearly 44 yards/punt only has one scholarship offer.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little surprised about that, too, but kickers don't usually garner a ton of offers.
DeleteSam Webb thinks we get a commit from Reon Dawson, Cameron Hunt or another offensive lineman, Derrick Green and possibly one other player to round out this phenomenal class. If we get 3 more players or heck even 1 as in Derrick Green I will be stoked.
ReplyDeleteThis class is special and see them dominating the Big Ten in a couple years especially if Green commits. Nice update. Can't wait till signing day.
What's your opinion of Reon Dawson? Do you think he's worth an offer at this stage?
ReplyDeleteIMO this is supposed to be Conley's replacement. While Delano Hill replaces Mcquay's spot. Theses are the big physical corners that Mattison needs to run a top defense. We have bunch of small corners from Cass that are more suited for coverage than run support.
DeleteI don't think Dawson is a high-level talent, but he does have good size and pretty good speed. He's the type of guy who probably won't be a superstar but could hold down a starting job down the road.
DeleteI was pretty down on the offer to Reon after watching his junior highlights. However, he looked much better as a senior. Not a great playmaker, but pretty good in coverage. I personally question how good Conley is as a corner. ESPN had him highly rated, but Lugenbill's explanation of why was really weak.

DeleteWhat is your take on the one or more freshman O-linemen playing this year if indeed we end up taking 6 or maybe even 7? I have heard talk of both Hunt and Samuelson if they both want to commit. That seems like a lot of talent to keep on the sidelines waiting to all play.
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of them would HAVE to play (unless there's a significant injury or two, which is impossible to predict). Freshman linemen are generally not good, and frankly, I don't think any of these guys are as college-ready as Kyle Kalis, who redshirted.
DeleteIf for the stupid reason we take 7 OL, I hope one of them has the skill set to go to the defensive side
