Hello: Dan Samuelson
Kugler's twiitter feed seems to say so.
Patrick Kugler @Kugleybear57
S/O to @dansamuelson74 for committing to Michigan!! #GoBlue
Mod edit: Ace seems to be confirming, so I changed the title to the usual format. Cue the Kate Upton and the rest of the celebrating. JGB.

He retweeted a tweet after that in which a Michigan fan said that Dawson deserved to be ESPN's #1 guard instead of Grant Hill. So it could be related to that.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:56 PM ^
He has made a statement in the past that he wouldn't be happy if Michigan took another lineman. So the coaches might be keeping Hunt in mind if he decommits.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:02 PM ^
I hear he drinks Sprite.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:07 PM ^
Doesn't mean you can dunk.
January 13th, 2013 at 10:52 AM ^
I'd be pissed too. Grant Hill is clearly a forward.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:33 PM ^
Immediately followed by "who just committed?" Chill out.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
More casualties to people over speculating a single word that a teenager tweeted.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
I think it's in relation to just finding out that he's no longer the #1 guard on espn's ratings.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:20 PM ^
What happened to all your points?
January 12th, 2013 at 4:34 PM ^
Made a comment that was deemed over the line yesterday.
My dumb ass is most likely going to get banned eventually because I don't think before I type things.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:38 PM ^
Just post some Kate Upton gifs and all will be forgiven.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:30 PM ^
Welcome to Michigan
January 12th, 2013 at 11:43 PM ^
Is that Mike Martin's little bro?
January 13th, 2013 at 12:14 AM ^
You're looking at the wrong thing.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:34 PM ^
Then followed by, "Who just committed?" Seems unrelated.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:38 PM ^
has nothing to do with the commit. its about ESPN dropping him to the #2 guard. chill
January 12th, 2013 at 3:39 PM ^
I heard it's because he asked for no ketchup on a hot dog, but the vendor put ketchup on anyways
January 12th, 2013 at 3:56 PM ^
Oh man, I'd be pissed about that too. Ketchup has no business on hot dogs.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:56 AM ^
this got lost in translation.
He asked for no salt...Noooo salt.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
When I was in high school I was pissed off a lot of time... Usually for a wide variety of things
January 12th, 2013 at 3:38 PM ^
looks like it could be a misunderstanding of the tweet timeline.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:39 PM ^
told Dawson "we are giving your spot to Samuelson." Cass Tech pipeline ruined. Fire Hoke.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:59 PM ^
When did this all happen? I took a nap after the Duke game and the world went to shit.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:43 PM ^
Can someone enlighten me on why we are taking so many guards in this class? What does 2014 look like recruiting wise?
January 12th, 2013 at 3:53 PM ^
Well Fox and LTT are definitley tackles. Kugler looks like he could be a center or guard. Last year we took Magnuson and Braden for tackles. Plus guys like Kalis, Bars, and Samuelson have flexibility to play RT.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:54 PM ^
Becuase depth is good and we're still digging ourselves out of a hole created by poor OL recruiting a few years back.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:55 PM ^
Look at the depth chart.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Yea and I see that we have a shot at a lot of 2014 guys but only see room for 2 spots barring any changes.
January 12th, 2013 at 11:21 PM ^
You only see room for 2 spots in the 2014 recruiting class? You should look again.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:21 PM ^
We've got six OL commits - 2 tackles, 3 guards, 1 center. It's not that far out of whack. If we had 3 tackles, someone would probably be asking the same question about that position.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:46 PM ^
He played HS ball in the same conference as my old HS (NLC, Indiana). It is small time football. It is definitely basketball country. The biggest recruit I recall out of all the reams in that conference was a Ball State safety named Brad Seiss (and Rick Meier forever ago). He's got great size and offers from ND & Nebraska though.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:57 PM ^
Jason Spriggs is from the NLC and he was the starting left tackle for Indiana this year as a freshman.
January 13th, 2013 at 2:28 AM ^
Good find. Concord had some good talent that went to Grand Valley State and some other DII schools. Definitely nothing in football that would compare to basketball though (Shawn Kemp).
January 12th, 2013 at 3:48 PM ^
Welcome to Michigan Dan! Anytime we can grab a recruit from another Big Ten school sounds good to me. Our OL will be unstoppable.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:49 PM ^
Pelini, tell me how my ass tastes.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
+1 to you. I just laughed so loud, now everybody in the break area thinks I'm batshit crazy.
January 12th, 2013 at 3:51 PM ^
I wouldn't say that the coaches are necessarily recruiting guards. I would say it's more like they are recruiting tackles to play guard. I think Samuelson is a pure guard, but Bosch, Dawson, and Kugler could play center, either guard, or right tackle. I even think Kugler has the athleticism for the left side. Fox could play either guard or either tackle spot, and LTT is definitely a tackle. The left side is secure for the 3 years at least with Lewan then I think we get 2 years out of Mags at the least. Also, if you look at our depth chart going into next season our most experienced interior lineman are RS sophomores. Nothing wrong with what the staff is doing,
January 12th, 2013 at 4:24 PM ^
I don't think those three guys can play tackle, at least not at a high level. Rueben Riley "played" tackle but he wasn't a great fit there. I see those guys fitting at tackle the way Riley did.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
Thanks for your opinion.
January 12th, 2013 at 5:39 PM ^
You're welcome.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:00 PM ^
Wait a second, our recruits come in pairs!!! Cameron Hunt come on down
January 12th, 2013 at 4:06 PM ^
Reon Dawson perhaps? Otherwise we may have to wait till the 26th.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:01 PM ^
Like to see the next few spots go to some guys on the outside, got the O-line down fersure... Now need the playmakers for the future
Either way great get and Go Blue
January 12th, 2013 at 4:15 PM ^
Really happy that we got another OL. Great day!
January 12th, 2013 at 4:17 PM ^
how does wolverine devotee have that many negative points???????
January 12th, 2013 at 6:24 PM ^
Made an illegal immigrant joke.
January 12th, 2013 at 4:22 PM ^
Because it made me happy.
