what guys can we look for to contribute next year?
Excited to see ross III as possible starter,
along with Gardner with a full season, and some of them young wideouts
QB - I cant wait to see Gardner have a full off season working strictly at QB. I'm also interested to see if Shane Morris can push Gardner for that starting spot. I'd probably go with Shane beating out Gardner if he would have enrolled early, but since his high school doesn't allow it, he'll be behind.
RB - It's all about Derrick Green and DeVeon Smith. I think those if two (especially if Fitz isn't 100%) win the playing time over the others .. there's no looking back. Sprinkle in some Drake Johnson and some Justice Hayes on third downs, and that could work nicely.
WR - We still have Jeremy Gallon for one more year, and there's nobody that plays harder than that kid. I love him in the slot. Drew Dileo's kinda slow, but he's got Wes Welker written all over him. I cant wait to see our 2 freshman from this year tho .. Amarah Darboh and Jehu Chesson. Tall, strong and fast. I'm glad we didn't burn their redshirts this year.
TE - It's all about Devin Funchess, although our incoming Freshman Jake Butt is no joke either. If he puts on a good 15 pounds this offseason, I can see him starting alongside Funchess in our 2 TE sets.
OL - We got big Taylor back .. but I'm even more excited to finally see Kyle Kalis start. He could have been in the 2 deep this year, but Hoke didn't want to burn his redshirt. We're building something really special with our OLineman .. and I think next year is the first year we see it start to take off.We've got All Americans all throughout our Oline.
DL - Ahhh .. because of how nasty our OLine recruiting has been, people keep sleeping on how good our DLine recruiting is also. We'll get Chris Wormley back from his torn ACL that he suffered before the season even started. He's already hoopin again and dunkin like its nothing .. so thats that.
We've got Pipkins back in the middle to cause havoc like he did this year (his TRUE freshman year) and he'll be joined by Willie Henry, Quentin Washington and Jibreel Black. Finally.. talent ... and depth.
shyt, I cant believe I forgot about Mario Ojemudia.
LB - We'll finally have linebackers that dont miss tackles and can actually cover tight ends. Kenny Demens was a beast against the run, and I
what he did for this program .. but dude was slow as fukk. As of today .. I'd peg the starters as RossIII, Bolden and Jake Ryan. We've got damn good depth too with Desmond Morgan, Kaleb Ringer, and Royce Jenkins-Stone.
DB - We get Countess Island back
.. to go with Ramon Taylor, and Courtney Avery at nickle. Terry Richardson's up to 186 pounds now (up from 166) after his redshirt year this year .. and 3 incoming 4 stars (2 early enrolee's) to battle. At safety .. We lose Killa Kovacs
.. but we've bringing in what is probably one of the most talented safties in Michigan history in Dymonte Thomas. He's already enrolled, lifting, and learning the schemes. He should start from day 1. He's THAT good. At the other safety, we'll have Jarrod Wilson. He played this year as a true freshman and played damn well.
The future is bright fellas.
The Big Ten and the rest of the country is in trouble. Maybe not this year .. but from 2014 and beyond ..
