Who you guys looking for to take a big step forward?
1) Olsen Pierre -"Lucifer" was a JAG for the first 8 games of the year, but starting with Virginia Tech he was extremely disruptive. He's got great ability and a great frame. Really looking forward to seeing what he can do with another year of conditioning and strength training.
2) Stephen Morris - There are things that Stephen Morris can do with a football that maybe 10 other QB's on the planet can do. Thought he made a step up this year from a million dollar arm and 10 cent head, to a million dollar arm and about $100,000 head. That's a good step in the right direction for him, but there's a lot of above average/good QB's. We have a small opportunity to something special next year and we need Stephen to be **** near a Heisman finalist to do it. Needs to upgrade his accuracy, footwork, anticipation, and progression reading, which some way or another all tie into each other. Hopefully Coley can do some good work with him.
3) Tracy Howard - Highly touted out of high school because of his advanced technical prowess for his age, he struggled a little out of the gate. He got more and more comfortable as the season went on and made some plays in each of the final 3 games. His issues, like most freshmen, have to do with his physique. He needs to get stronger and improve his explosion. It's his and Deon Bush's defensive backfield next year.
4) Raphael Kirby - My favorite recruit in 2012 not named Duke Johnson. Coaches were raving about him during spring last year and before his injury, he was slated to see heavy action early. He's probably between 225-230 pounds right now, runs a 4.6 something, has great read and react skills that we saw flashes of last year, and is probably one of our best coverage linebackers (which isn't saying much unfortunately). Needs to get on the Denzel Perryman strength program and buck up to about 235-240. Hope he can man the middle next year.
5) Anthony Chickillo - Safe to say we didn't think Chick would have the year he had last year and circumstances aside, I don't think that it can be considered anything other than a step back. Is he too big, too slow, or just not good enough? He needs to spend every waking moment with Swasey improving his athleticism. People can question Swasey's strength training all they want, but agility and explosion is a specialty of his, and Chick needs to be his pet project this offseason.
