Who has the Breakout Year?

[ReadR00ster]

Kaiwan Lewis, Jerrell Adams, Mike Davis, and Deon Green

[SC Sandlapper]

Nobody has said Jimmy Legree but I look for him to take a big step forward next year.

On offense I will say Wilds. Kid has already shown mad skills.

[SHElikesMYCOCKS]

Jerrell Adams, Brison Williams, Shaq Roland, Kwinton Smith, Jordan Diggs

I fully agree here. OL should be much better this year than last, experience is key at these positions.

Having said that Mike Davis should have a very nice year if he can avoid the RB injury bug (Wilds & Lattimore). Also, on offense I'm looking for Kwinton & Busta to have big years. With Rainey, Adams & Anderson, the tight end spot will again cause match up problems down the field.

On defense I'm looking for someone to step up at LB. Could be Cooper, Lewis, or Diggs but somebody has got to step up and lead the LB core.

Rainey is being moved to LB where he played mostly in HS.

RB Shon Carson - He has been sidelined each of the past two seasons. Often forgotten is the fact that, prior to his injury each year, this was the clear cut number 2 back on the team behind Marcus. If he stays healthy, this will be his year.

Defensively:

LB Kaiwan Lewis - This guy is big, strong, quick, and reads the run exceptionally well. An explosive and very violent tackler at a position that is lacking in the depth and experience departments.

agree with all of this. excellent picks. it will be interesting to see who has the better year, kwinton or shaq. to tell the truth i'm not sure at this point that kwinton isn't more talented than shaq. shaq got all of the headlines, but i remember last year, i think it was thompson who said that you just can't over throw kwinton. with a year in the system, i think he might just become our best wr. i'm not taking anything from shaq, and hope he lives up to his billing. but the upside on kwinton is off the charts. i have heard nothing but great things about lewis and cooper. with cooper being limited at the beginning of the year, i expect lewis to become a monster. i also expect one or two of the freshmen, walton, moore, johnson or bryant, to earn spots on the two deep. my biggest breakout player on defense, however, i expect rainy to come out of nowhere, and become our best lb. i think diggs will become the best spur, and martin will surprise many by earning a starting spot as the cb opposite hampton. i still think legree plays a lot, but martin will be better. if carson stays healthy, i think he will have a breakout year. in fact, i think he, wilds and davis will all have great seasons. and as stated already, our ol will finally have numbers and a ton of experienced talent to last all season long. if we can do what we've done with a patchwork ol the last two years, imagine what we can do with a really solid ol.

[Next Year]

Brandon Wilds will have a breakout year.

Shaq Roland will have a breakout year.

Damiere Byrd will have a breakout year.

Connor Shaw (yes Connor Shaw) will have his best year.

Darius English will have a breakout year.

A name no one has mentioned-Rico McWilliams.

If Gurley isn't back before fall practice starts, who starts at safety opposite of Williams?

[uscsandstorm85]

I think all of the WR's will have breakout years. The passing game will be HUGE this year.

[GamecockUltimate]

No kj Brent, I am pulling for him hard. I have heard good things

I mentioned Rico ;)

[snoopcockycock]

this team has so much talent that it is easy to forget about guys you wanted to mention. yes, i believe rico and gurley will have great years. rico was setting up to have a great year last season before the injury, and the same might be said for gurley as well. the other thing was how well the special teams played at the end of the year. if johnson is as good as advertised, our st's might just be a huge weapon next season.

[Wiz Khalifa]

Busta Anderson on offense will we so sick

On defense, I have to say Jimmy Legree will have a great year

Damiere Byrd
Gurley
Shaq Roland.

[MillerTime843]

Breakout? You'll see Bryant have a good Freshman campaign. Jerrell Adams will do good, Rico depending on his recovery %. I see both Wilds/Davis will split carries almost evenly. And English will rack up good numbers once he gets a couple games under his belt. And I expect Diggs and Skai doing work.

Wilds, Nick, 7, golightly

Isn't Rico a corner back?
