LB Donavin Newsom [Missouri Commit]

Well considering that 5 of the 6 scholarship linebackers this fall will be juniors or seniors, it is by far the biggest need along with qb. That's assuming that pirman moves to DE. It would be nice if fischer was granted a medical hardship though. Wouldn't be surprised to see a juco backer picked up for this class as well.

Yikes. I didn't realize depth was that thin. I wonder if Pelini isn't thinking about shifting a Stafford type of player to LB.

i think we'll still see a lot of peso, with someone like stafford, cassidy or cooper basically playing the third linebacker.

You could be right, but I don't see us playing near as much Peso as we did in the past. Most of the offenses in the B1G aren't spread oriented like Misery, sooners, whorns, cowgirls.
