Which players that are not currently receiving any hype that you are most excited to see?
For me on offense I am most excited to see the progression of Ty Isacc, If he has improved on his spring performance I think he can over take Smith and may be our next 1000 yd back!
On defense I have to go with Dymonte Thomas, he brings more athleticism and speed to the free safety position than we had last year, and if he is able to be as dependable as J. Wilson was last year, he could be all conference!

Because what meager hype he's getting (Brian Cook publications notwithstanding), it's not enough.

I believe he will be more effective than Thomas.

I hope Issac can live up to the hype he had coming into last season... Want him and Smith to both have 1,OOO yrds!!!
One can dream...

By mid season I'm hoping he will be Channing MF Stribling and our other lock down corner.

He will be very solid in the slot.

I don't think it was highlighted in the comparison of weights between 2015 and 2016 but Perry put on about 12 pounds. Assuming that this is indeed burly muscle mass that does not slow him down at all, he could be more than solid.

...last night that Ty Isaac busted off a 90+ yard run for a touchdown. Really wierd, because I don't to often have dreams about Michigan football. I conclude that the fact this thread and my dream coincided means that Mr. Isaac is going to be a breakout player this season.
Go Blue!

Until just a couple of weeks ago, at best, we hadn't heard anything about Chris Evans. But I'll put money on him returning kicks and punts, and being the 'every play' Peppers on offense. Don't think we'll see Jabrill on offense too much until the second half, because of Evans.
Truely un-hyped contributor? I'm going with Josh Metellus... There was a thread a while back about which freshmen would see the field this year. My input was Metellus, because safety depth beyond this season is a big, gaping, festering, open wound. While he may not be totally ready to play a lot this year, I can see him getting some valuable cleanup time for experience. I think he's the next Jarrod Wilson - boring, forgettable, invisible, and shut the door solid.

Of course if the o line takes a leap and the qb position is seamless from where Rudock left off, the conventional offense may not need to go exotic as much.

They're not needed desperately this year (we hope), but at least one of them will probably be called upon to start next year.

I think he'll be a key component, but lead the team in catches?

It he has a good year, then we as a team will have had a good year!!

Yep, with you on Newsome, it seems like a lot of people are expecting him to flop or already looking for his replacement. Hope he can surprise the doubters.
On defense, Mo Hurst is almost the forgotten man on that line, even though some are projecting him as a high draft pick. Also, hopefully Devin Bush is all we've dreamed and more.

I can't wait to see McDoom after hearing a couple of tidbits from practices. Sounds like he has some serious jets and playmaking ability.
