Which incomming freshman will have the biggest impact in the upcomming season?

Simple question, which incomming freshman do you think will have the biggest impact this upcomming season.

I almost had to pick Clausen because I think he'll be the starter for most if not all of the season, but I would put Allen #2 on my list, with Kerry Neal or Ian Williams at #3.

Couldnt have listed mine any different. Claussen has all the tools. Allen the speed. Neal the skill. Idk abou Ian williams though.

I heard Ian say on some interviews that the coaches really want him to be ready because the are expecting him to see some PT at NT, and the same applies to Neal at ROLB.

I think Neal...he's a monster off the corner and I think he will get immediate pt...I think he ends up one of our top AA players...IMO he's definitely that good

As pitiful as the kicking game was at the BG Game, Walker has a shot to contribute immediately.

I think Golden Tate is the man. The guy has super speed and coould contribute big time in the special teams game. The only issue is he's kind of small so I hope he can stay healthy. Also I think Allen will do a good job in his role.

Solid list. If there were one guy I'd mention with the rest of those listed, it'd be Gary Gray. What little I heard about him this spring, before he got injured, was very positive, that he's the physical kind of player they want at corner.

Claussen Just a gut feeling.
LET'S GO DAME !!!

The NT spot is definitely the shakiest of the four listed. I'm hoping that Ian shows up in shape and ready to go.

Stay away from the hamburgers Ian!!

My vote is for Clausen #1 and Neal #2. No one impacts the game more than the QB, but Neal is already 237 (bigger than most of our LB's right now) and he's got the speed to make a big contribution as a freshman.

I've gotta say Neal. With a revamped D this year and welcoming so many new players into a complex offense I believe we will have to rely on our D, atleast in the beginning, to help us pull out a few games. From the looks of it Neal will be a monster on the D, disrupting every offense we face.
