Reviewing the varsity roster there are 15 returning LB's for the 2020 season. At USMAPS there are currently 12-15 LB's. So far there are 18 signees or commits at the LB position. This seems like a big position need. What are your thoughts on the biggest position needs going into the 2020 season?

Good question and think the obvious answer is quarterback and the offensive. GoBlackKnights.com typically as pre-season position projection (e.g., depth chart, position battles, etc) around this time, so you might look out for that article. Assuming of course that you are a premium member. Plus there is conversation on the 12th Knight message board with a couple of threads cover your question.
 
Linebackers and defensive backs are always in demand. In addition to filling in the depth chart on defense, they are heavily represented on special teams.

One of the strategies that has been successful in the past is to recruit DBs and bulk them up to play OLB (think Aukerman). Likewise LBs can often bulk up to play DE. That strategy provides more speed on defense. DBs can also be moved to slotback and vice versa. It's very tough to develop speed. You have to recruit it.

Stay tuned for our GBK upcoming premium rebuild or reload analyses for 2020 articles.
