Although Hulk didn't mention LB as a need back in February of 2015, there may end up being a need due to the less than ideal reports on Okereke's progress and due to the fact that Barton came back from Ghana in much worse physical shape than when he left.  Luckily, Stanford has Robinson committed and appears to be on the verge of landing McCulloch, which would comprise Stanford's most elite LB class at least since 2001 (Craven, Alston, Bonifas).  Shaw may have an embarrassment of riches if Okereke and Barton pan out, but better safe than sorry. 

The recruiting class of 2009: Shayne Skov (#3 MLB), Jarek Lancaster (#53 WLB), and Trent Murphy (#87 DE, but we wanted him as a 3/4 OLB) might have had something to say about that.  Certainly by accomplishments they outranked the 2001 class.  Of course, the big news in 2009 were the two we just missed out on: Manti Te'o (who, fake dead girlfriend aside was quite a player) and Luke Kuechly.
