Offense - newcomer Bo; MVP Arnaud; most improved SJ

Defense - newcomer Taufoou; MVP LJ; most improved Lyle

How do you pick a most improved player for the season in May?

How do you pick any award in the pre-season?

What is a horse shoe? What does a horse shoe do? Are there any horse socks? Is anybody listening to me?

I take it, you are not a colt fan.

Totally forgot about Taufoou. I agree with you there.

I would guess Sims may be the newcomer of the year, partly because we need so much help at safety. I think there is little doubt that AA will be MVP. I think ARob has a shot at it, but with all the talent in the backfield, it could be hard for him to get the numbers. SJ might also have a shot at it if he can start getting open deep or in the end zone. Of course, any improvement on defense will be impressive.

If we are talking about TEAM MVP here, I'll go with Arnaud. I think he is going to have a very good year. The defense is going to struggle. With not much going up front, D backs will be at the mercy of relaxed QB's with plenty of time to execute. Leonard is my favortie ISU player, but he will be at a disadvantage this season.

Hopefully Darius comes in, practices and studies hard, and earns a starting role. It looks like there will be plenty of opportunities for him to make plays in Herman's new offense. He should be licking his chops.

Yes. I really expect a lot from Money this year! I think he can for sure lock down a starting role.
