Just a few notes..

Tate Forcier has jumped up from 180lbs to 196, def. what I want to see.

As for as the HB position is concerned, it sounds like Fitzgerald Toussaint is the guy to beat, especially with Vincent Smith recovering from the ACL surgery. Fitz has the potential to be VERY good.

Taylor Lewan is quickly adding muscle to his frame, expect him to get significant PT this year, if he isn't a starter.

The coaches are basically drooling over the potential of Q. Washington

The WR and slot positions will be much improved this year. Guys like Ricardo Miller, T. Robinson, Odoms, Stonum, they all have BIG play potential.

Tate had never picked up a weight in his life prior to his arrival at Michigan so the weight gain is not unexpected. What I want to see is improvement in his decision making and how he holds the ball. It appears that Tate is maturing and working harder. I think a large part of this has to do with Tate being pushed by the arrival of Devin Gardner.

Lewan and Washington are both likely a year away from starting but they may see some time this year. Both are going to be quite good but need more time to develop. Linemen generally take the longest to develop.

Terrence Robinson has always had big play ability he just can't catch the damn ball with any consistency. If your looking for a breakout reciever it's going to be Je-Ron Stokes. Odoms has nice moves and good hand's but lacks the top end speed.

A couple key players imo for next season

1. Vlad Emilien- If Vlad can hold down a safety spot it will make the secondary much stronger and ensure that JT Turner can stay at Corner. Depending on how Dorsey and Jt Floyd are at Corner it could also free up Troy Woolfork to return to Safety as well.

2. Jonas Mouton- Regressed badly last season after missing spring ball with a shoulder injury. If he can get it back together it will go a long ways toward's making a decent defense

3. Kevin Koger- Perhaps the most talented player on the offense but underachieved last season and had some crucial drops. If Koger breaks out this offense will be downright scary.

4. Mike Cox- We need a big back to step up and Cox is the guy with the most potential to do just that.

5. Ricky Barnum- Perhaps our best linemen who just hasnt been able to stay healthy. If Ricky could take over a guard slot and allow Omameh to slide back to tackle it will make our line much more athletic.

6. J.T. Turner- The #1 key to the secondary next year, if he can live up to his potential that allows Woolfolk to move to safety.

7. Obi Ezeh- we NEED him to step up and play like his soph. year again, LB is the biggest ? for the D next year and he needs to step up.
