I think the consensus will lie with Rudock. However, I think I'm in the W. Henry corner. Would have been nice to see Willie back one more year with a healthy Mone. Additionally, had Willie stayed his presence would have help offset a possible slip in LB play. For what it's worth, I think the LB position will be just fine. Lets be honest, we didn't really have any difference makers at LB last season. A solid core for sure, but, not really a player you had to plan around.
What player do you think is the biggest loss from last year's squad?

Henry would have been a stud this year. I would like to seen how any of the four linebackers would have been with coach Brown's defense. While Ruddock will be missed I believe that once the coaching staff gets the timing down between the next quarterback and this great deep group of receivers we will a very tough out against any body. With this said we are in for a very special year. As always Go Blue!
It's Ruddock with Henry/Glasgow tied for 2nd.. However, since we have the QB whisperer I expect the QB position to be solid by the time we see a B1G opponent in week #4.
It's hard to say that our biggest loss was a DL when our DL should be one of the strongest parts of this team. With the return of most of the rest of the line and the addition of Rashan Gary and the return of Mone, I wouldn't say Henry (even though he was definitely very good).
I'd probably go Jake Rudock. Our current QBs have very little experience (with Michigan, at least). Also, losing our starting LBers is going to hurt for a bit. Not sure any one of them is a massive loss, but the combination of them will hurt.
