The #s at LB are perfect

Branch Toohil and Barton in 15
Robinson and Fox last year
Reid this year
And we already have Kaufusi coming in 18

Perfect?
Branch didn't redshirt so for fall of 2019 (i.e. 2 years from September 1), the only scholarship LBs on the team not including true frosh from 2018 will be:  Toohil, Barton, Robinson (eligible for NFL), Fox and Reid (who may be a DE).  That is red-line scary to me to have 3-5 players over 3 eligibility cycles. On a pro-rata basis, there should be 10-12 LBs across 3 eligibility classes.  LB is our biggest recruiting need. We play 4 on every defensive snap. It is a position of high injury. They are strong special teams contributors.  We have a problem here unlike any other position where we will be at least 2x deep across any 3 eligibility classes.  I don't know if Warner has been admitted, but I really really want him.
