Offensively:
1. Allen Patrick- I know that Murray is the golden boy, but until he plays a down in CFB he is nothing yet. AP should get his yards behind our excellen O-Line. Also, his toughness will earn him many big plays on the year. I expect huge things outta him.
2. Malcolm Kelly- The guy has tremendous size, good speed, and excellent hands. We all saw those amazing grabs against Nebraska. Regardless of our QB, Malcolm will have a huge year.
3. Jon Cooper- Yea yea not a glamorous pick, but this guy has been nothing short of great since he arrived in Norman. He is the quarterback of the O-Line, and he is a great blocker.
4. Demarco Murray- Yeah I know i'm kind of contradicting myself with what I said about him in AP's paragraph, but this guy is ridiculous. He reminds me of a smaller version of Darren McFadden and that's always good. Great hands, great vision, and excellent cuts. Only question mark now is his toughness and work ethic.
5. Jermaine Gresham- Joe Jon is the experienced senior, but he tends to drop passes from time to time. Gresham will have a big year and should be an easy target for our new QB. And he's an Okie!!!
Defensively:
1. Marcus Walker- This guy would be a pre season all-american had he not been injury prone his first two years. Last year he picked off several passes(Boise St pick was the best) and he also dropped several others that I recall. He is easily the best shut down corner we've had since Derrick Strait.
2. Nic Harris- Whether he's playing hybrid safety linebacker/FS/SS this guy just makes plays all over the field. I believe he led the team last year with 4 oskies and he is a phsyical guy who will knock bitches out.
3. Reggie Smith- Hopefully we'll have solid SS play from whoever and he can stay at cornerback. If the scenario works out that way, Reggie will be at least all big 12. And unless Demarco takes his spot at punt returner and if he can catch a damn ball, he should be extremely dangerous in the return game.
4. Mike Reed- Hasn't proven anything and is limited on his understanding of the defense, but this guy can HIT. We all saw him knock AP back in the Spring Game and force that fumble. Guy should be a very solid middle linebacker.
5. Demarcus Granger- Last spot was hard because I wavered on Gerald McCoy, Lofton, R Reynolds, and Lendy Holmes. But truth of the matter is McCoy hasn't played yet, Lofton is still learning, R Reynolds cannot stay healthy, and Lendy will be limited to certain downs. Granger showed big time potential last year and should only be better this year.
Honorable Metion for Offense: Finley, all the O-Line, Chris Brown, Manuel Johnson, Iglesias
Honorable Mention for Defense: Darien Williams, Lofton, Lendy, McCoy, and R Reynolds.
can't wait for NOrth Texas! Poor Mean Green:pop:
