What would be wrong with:
'18: Miezan, JMF
'19: Patterson, Dumani (assuming he is slated for ILB)
Probably don't need more than two ILBs every class, but probably five over every 3-year period.
It seems crazy, but I believe it is possible Stanford dropped Hollifield, or at least didn't get all butt hurt over potentially not getting him when they knew Miezan was coming. Taking three ILBs in one class isn't ideal. So no, if Stanford lands a quality recruit like Patterson, and Dumani does return to play ILB in '19, I'm not nervous about ILB depth.
I'm just not sure how good a coach Hansen is, because the ILB play hasn't been as good with Hansen as it was before him, IMO. In four seasons, only Okereke has developed into an all-conference level player, and the unit has arguably been the weakest on the team since Hansen arrived. Yes, he coached Blake Martinez, but Martinez was clearly a player before Hansen came to the farm.
