2. If you get a kickass Frosh, throw his ass to the wolves (screw "development"/redshirting)... if he's a stud, put him on the field; even if only on ST...
3. Target AL & LA harder... UA is (IMO) neglecting the state to go more "national"... take advantage of that. Also, with the dumpster fire that is LSU, get some cats there, too.
4. Process more.
5. Hammer every single top 300 (needed) position group guy...

ps- Shirley, someone has already thought of this, no?
Yeah, you aren't going to be able to "process" and replace with another 5 * like y'all used to. The 25 hard signing cap each year is going to nip that shit in the bud. Going forward; if you miss on one, you won't be able to process him, and oversign 5*'s the next year.
