Incoming Commits: None, yet.
Even without a commitment this year, we should be good in the secondary for 2010, although getting a corner would be nice (thanks to Givens not making it academically this year and signing on at Rutgers). Morris is poised to do big things in his career at Penn State, and Lynn has proven to be a very solid corner. I've heard good things about Thomas and Willis, too. The safety positions seem to have pretty good depth. Sukay has come along, although he has been burnt on a handful of occasions this year. It was his first year actually playing, so he should improve. Astorino is clearly nursing an injury, so hopefully the offseason will work that out. What worries me a little is the lack of a clear nickel next year. Jeffries played that a little during the MSU game, but maybe Thomas will step up this offseason and take hold of the position.
