grunkiejr- you liked our LB's before! Looks like a start of a pipeline...
Yes, this was a big get for us. Zagzebski isn't rated by the recruiting sites yet but after his sophomore year he was considered the top recruit in Wisconsin which would project him as a 4-star LB. All of that may have changed with his knee injury but it is still a big get to bring in a talented player as well as send a glancing blow back at Bielema after his "we consider Minnesota in state recruiting" comment.
With Campbell graduating we needed to add a body to replace him for depth. We are going to be very young at MLB in 2010 but very talented.
Gray Shirt Soph: Sam Maresh
True Freshman: Zagzebski
True Junior Gary Tinsley and Redshirt Soph Ryan Grant could fit in there too.
We will need to sign at least two OLB's in the 2010 class too and possibly another MLB.
-LaMonte Edwards from Woodbury seems to be in the Simoni Lawrence mold that Brewster loves for OLB.
-AJ Tarpley from Wayzata is my guess for another MLB.
-Joel Baumann is an athlete that projects at RB or LB so he is another possibility
I wouldn't be surprised to see us try to pull another out of Texas (Cooper, Reeves) or Florida (Singleton) either.
Add all of those ingredients together and we should have more talent and depth at LB then I ever remember, although we will still be very young.
