Let' start fresh for this 09 year.
First thing is first: we have one HUGE commit at LB.
So baring the silent commitment, the biggest question is: What is our area of greatest needs? I would rank it in this order:
TE: We didn't pick up anyone in 08, and don't have a proven player yet
RB: Ringer will be leaving a huge hole in the backfield, and without seeing a viable person who will take his place, we need a STUD here. (Altough if we get Ingram this point may be moot)
QB: Hoyer will be gone, and either Foles or Cousins is looking to make the start. They will be Juniors assuming they don't redshirt during the 08-09 season.
WR: During the 08-09 season is going to be a crucible for our recieving core. The only reason they are this high on the need is due to the fact that we will have a pleathera of talent, but it's all unproven at this point.
OL: Quite frankly I know nothing about this position, other than they are the key to any team. So great guys here couldn't hurt.
DT: All of our proven talent will be gone at this point, but MD has done a good job of getting some good players in during the 08 era: Hoover, Worthy, and Jude (maybe more at this point)
DB: Would be an area of grave concern, however MD has went on a war path and stocked the cupboards with a great amount of talent. We will still have proven guys like Jenrette, Weaver, and Rucker, and then will have Adams, Trawick, Burrell, and Robinson coming in 08. Should be good here.
Finally LB: This would be higher if not for the commit by Norman already, who looks to be AT LEAST a 4* stud. His film is just so good. We have a few people coming in 08, which should help, but I would like another good LB just to solidify this position.
Well, these are my thoughts. I think the 09 recruiting class is going to be the marquee class for Dantonio, and I am really excited already. Anything thoughts, opinions, disagreements?
