just to add a bit on what has been offered.

this year's recruiting class will be small (10 to 15), but it looks like it will be high quality class.  we currently have 6 verbals (S/LB Barton, QB Burns, LB Kalambayi, TE Cotton, WR Owusu, LB Savaiinaea) -- all 3 or 4 stars.  Barton is effectively a '15 due to a mission, so I'd guess we have 6 to 7 more slots to fill with most of the outstanding uncommitted offers bunched at WR (Allen, Cunningham, Thomas), OL (Crowder, Crooks, Oser) and DB (Johnson, Likely, Walker). 

there are a few other recruits -- ILB Palma, TE Tabaoga etc -- reportedly close to receiving offers but nothing yet.  I think both these guys would commit if offered.  Tabaoga has commented that he'd go to Stanford over 'Bama (who has offered according to him and a couple of recruiting sites).

take us back to the days of Ted's Lil Buddy and the Wlat, Palma and Tabaoga would have been headliners. 

staff looks to be focused on '14s and '15s already as well with a couple of dozen offers out to '14s and at least 1 to a '15.
