Position by Position break down of 2016 recruiting (not including LDS taking missions):

QB: Costello is committed.  No more needed.
TE: Smith is committed.  No more needed.
FB: McElwain is committed.  No more needed.

RB: Bisharat is committed.  Speights is likely.  Stephens could come too.  I don't see a need for all three.  Maybe there will be attrition due to academics or some other issue.  If not, maybe one of them will end up moving to a different position.  I don't expect to see any more offers here.

WR: No one is committed yet.  (Fehoko is 2018.)  I expect the staff to take at least two.  Stewart is likely.  The others who have offers and haven't eliminated Stanford are Crawford, Burton, Robertson, and Hardman.  Landing any of those four would be terrific.  If the staff whiffs on those 4, we probably will see an offer to someone like Croom or Boateng. 

OL:  Yarbrough, Hattis, and Herbig are committed.  The staff could easily take one more.  Dickerson's interest level is unclear and Farniok seems to be headed someplace closer to home.  There are a number of possible stealths here, like Hamilton and Raridon.  I don't know if the staff would offer a Plan B recruit if the current options don't pan out.  Tatum, Niang, Gutwald, and Alves are possibilities, I suppose.

DL:  Williams and Peek are committed.  The staff needs a DE and could easily take a fourth DL.  The only guys who have offers and still are considering Stanford are Schaffer, Swann, and Rand.  (Bills doesn't count because he's going on a mission.)  If the staff doesn't get 2/3, we could see an offer to Kemp or Burton. 

LB:  Robinson is committed.  Fox might end up counting as 2016 assuming academics work out.  I think the staff will take one more.  (Kaufusi doesn't count because he's going on a mission.)  The guys who have offers and still are considering Stanford are Kelly, McCulloch, Jones, Carmouche, and Simms.  Any of the five would be terrific.  If the staff whiffs, maybe we see an offer to Dublanko or Cassidy. 

DB:  Long, Butler, Edmonds, and Antoine are committed.  Already a terrific class.  One more would be nice, especially someone with a bit more size than the current commits have.  Ulloa seems like a good possibility, but not necessarily likely.  Warner, Fuller, Pryts, and Okeke are possible, but I have my doubts that any of them will come.  There are also stealth possibilities here, like Harper and Rapp.  An offer to Eboh is looking less likely. 

P/K:  I have my doubts that the staff will offer one this year, but an article by Lombardi on the battle for starting positions makes me less certain about that.  No mention of Beall at punter, FG kicker, or kickoffs.  If Beall doesn't pan out, then another scholarship player makes sense.
