For breakout I'm going to say Kevin King. I'm banking on him earning the starting job. I loved his H.S. highlights and he hits all the metrics I look for in high potential DBs. He's fast as fuck and plays with swagger.

For disappointment I'm going to Feeney. He has flashed brilliance the past few years but IMO has never put it totally together. He's slowish and I wouldn't get surprised if he gets passed up on the depth chart. Hope I'm wrong. Either way it will be interesting. Or something. Fuck off.

    lolwut?

    What do you base this off of? Feeney is slowish? Feeney had the 3rd fastest 40 time during the Spring Combine at 4.44 (behind Ross and Hall). Feeney was our best defensive player in the Spring Preview, able to cover the flat in zone defenses and able to stay with the slot WR in man-coverage (as much as the TV camera shows). He was able to shed off OL blocks and was a sure-tackler, wrapping up and bringing players to the ground rather than this new-age bullshit of ramming a guy with your shoulder (though he did that a lot as a freshman).

    He might not have put things together as a freshman or sophomore, but he's a junior now and I think he's going to be a bright spot on our D for the next 2 years. To be honest, I think Feeney will excel next year similar to when Aiyewa moved from SS to OLB in 2010.

    Feeney's SPARQ is alien

    Dwayne Washington. Kid is a freak of nature.

    Bust? Shaq Thompson. Good player, but the 5-star accolades mean he'll never live up to the hype.

    Breakout player- Ross and Washington on offense, and Kelly, Berria on defense.

    Disappointments- Kasen Williams. I'm worried about his leg/foot injury. Even if he's healthy enough to play, how improved will he be with limited off season work? Luckily we don't need him until September 27th. Mickens and Ross are plenty good to carry the load before conference play begins. If Kasen is healthy, those 3 should make a great trio. I think we will have a really good offense this year.
