One of the big keys to me is always looking into recruiting across two cycles, since those are the guys most likely to play with each other.
If we look at what we are getting over two years so far, it's really nice.
QB: A
2017: Haener (lol)
2018: Sirmon, Yankoff (Eason)
RB: B (this really changes
2017: Salvon
2018: Fig, (Lowe?)
WR: A+
2017: Jones, Bynum, Cook
2018: Osborne, Spiker
TE: A
2017: Bryant, Otton
2018: Culp
OL: B
2017: Bainivalu, Kirkland, Norgaard
2018: Ale, Curne, Mele
DL: C
2017:
2018: Bynum, Liu, Taimani, Tupuola-Fetui
EDGE: D
2017: Tryon
2018:
LB: B-
2017: Ngata
2018: Kaho, Sirmon, Tafisi
DB: C
2017: McKinney, Molden, Taylor
2018: Hampton
THE REST OF THE WAY:
You can see pretty easily that life will improve a lot with maybe one more DT, an EDGE guy and a couple more DBs. Maybe an OL. If we get quality there, we are going to be in the B and up category pretty much everywhere.
NEXT YEAR:
So, this pretty clearly points to what we are going to need next year...
Running back and Edge dudes are going to be especially key next year.
The nice thing is that we are in on three top-level RBs right now (Jones, Davis, Charbonnet) and likely to land at least one. If we replace Boner with Longo, I will be very confident.
At Edge we have always sucked and we will always suck until Coach K stops trying to talk fishing with Kayvon Thibideaux.

Clearly our BUCK recruiting sucks shit.
Black kid, SC wants him, our recruiters are Boner and Kwat.
Kwat is going to be like, 'yeah, you're good. Want to see my hunting photos? Don't you just love Montana!?!' and Martin is going to be like "Ehhh..."
You want action, you get turned into past tense.
Your boys deep? Well, let’s get to subtraction.
Just tying to throw the staff a bone.
If you like gangster rap and don’t know about it, watch it.
