Recruiting needs?

I know we need olineman, especially tackles but with the young guys coming together on the line and with the lost of maybe only kj(who is the weakest link) do we have to go all out for lineman now

It's really hard to go 'all out' on any position except S, QB, RB. Maybe WR. OL and DL it's virtually impossible to catch up in one year.
And that's if the talent is available, presumably in state. Which for OL, it is not (not to 'catch up').
Too many limitations on the numbers and you can't make holes, e.g. not recruit LBs, to fill holes. It took us years to catch up on the DL and LBs from Chief/Haley. It will probably take years for the OL.
In short, you have to be an incrementalist with the lines.
Extra QUALITY OL and DL, can't afford projects now. RB, stable needs some rebuilding (Noah Cain on the horizon). Keep the LB pipeline going; it's really tough to field an Aranda defense without playmaking LBs.

OL is the biggest need and the JC route is almost certainly an option that is being pursued.

We need WR pretty badly as well

O line!!! & RB!!! Coach o needs to recruit his arse off this year as the 4 best players last yr. committed to BAMA!

We only have 11 scholarship o linemen right now. Definitely need at least 5 this year.

OL/DL biggest need
Minimum 5 OL, 2 DT and 3DE (10 Lineman)
Need a big time RB, really two of them..
Need a QB, (need a big one in Next years Class)
Need WR Depth (Think Joiner becomes the flanker, he's too tall to be a RB)
Need a lockdown Corner in the worst way
Add a top flight LB
Safety might be the only position we dont have to recruit.
