I know there is a section devoted  to this, but there are about 700 posts. For those of us that don’t follow recruiting can we get a general overview.

I saw 17 commits so far. No QB. No d lineman. Is that the case?  Overall how does it look

Here is my summary of the class.
1) Where we needed depth at OL and DBs, we are getting it. Not necessarily superstars but 5 solid players in each set.
2) A couple stud WRs who could play early and often (Higgins and Bowman)
3) A stud RB who could play early and often (Jones)
4) 3-4 linebackers that very well could play as frosh with OLB/DE Pakola, OLB Herron and Sinclair at ILB (where we could be desperate next year if Barton leaves) and possibly DiCosmo who was interestingly listed by Stanford as OLB/ILB
5) Missed out on a QB and an elite TE in the mold of Schultz, Smith, Parkinson but did pick up a TE from Cal.

I don't think it was a great class, but I would at least call it a good one.
We didn't try real hard to sign a QB until it was too late. I think if we had aggressively gone after Hilinski early we might have been able to get him, although due to the family tragedy I can understand their desire to get a fresh start in a new locale.
