I was thinking they might start playing "race" cards, you know get a few Latinos, Pacific Islanders or Asians (it might be awhile before we have a Black Apostle).
But so far they've used son-in-laws and "inside trackers" BYU Presidents, Lawyer friends, etc...
They used to have the office "Assistant(s) to the Q12 which I believe Packer was the last to hold that position. This was basically a grooming/training position and you could pick one of those to be the next apostle. Then they did away with it, and it became the First Quorum of Seventies. Everyone (even the apostles) assumed this would be the harvesting group for the next apostles.
