Priorities, priorities

Yes, Marshall literally is locked in a dead period of recruiting through the New Year, but that shouldn’t stop fans and media from speculating toward the stretch run. What, in your opinion, are the top immediate and long-term priorities for Marshall’s coaching staff entering the final month of recruiting? My two cents lean toward defensive tackles in the short term (i.e. JUCOs) and offensive linemen and defensive backs down the road. A top junior college DT was snatched from Marshall at the last second, but the position remains a target entering January. Feel free to share your thoughts.
