I know we play nickel the majority of the snaps with 5 DBs but it seems like the last two and now this recruiting class are loaded with DBs. Do we really need another DB?

On a related issue, we are at 16 commits right now (pending potential admission casualties), and we have talked about maybe 20-22 total in this class.  What additional positions or specific players do you all think we should target to fill out the class?  Personally I would not mind seeing another LB or two, (currently only Curtis Robinson on board, is McCulloch still a possibility?) even though we seem to have great depth at the position currently; WR (Crawford and Robinson possibilities? We have only Fehoko now); can't say no to a premium athlete like Brandon Simmons, even if it means yet another DB; one more RB in Speights

Fehoko is going on a mission and won't enroll until 2018.  Bills, Kaufusi, or Dawson (no offer) are in the same boat.  Also, there are a number of potential walk-ons who would address depth issues.  Gutwald, Richardson, Riccitelli, and Shohfi.  None of them count toward the scholarship limit, so I don't "count" them, even though they are important.  Therefore, by my count, the class stands at 15.

I think Ulloa, Swann and Stewart are highly likely to come if admitted.
Robertson and Simms appear to have admissions issues, but both of them have called Stanford their first choice (if admitted).
Speights, Carmouche and Schaffer have official visits actually scheduled, so they fall into the next most likely category. 
Okeke stated at one point that he would plan an official to Stanford, but he's been quiet recently. 
McCulloch, Burton, Crawford, and Jones seem like long shots, but I think they are in play. 
And then don't forget Stealth, Plan B, and the prospect of Jordan Fox returning to the team.
I would think the wish list includes a minimum of 2 WRs, 3 DLs, and 2 LBs.  IMHO, all other needs have been met.
