I'm going with Raheem Falkins, the sophomore receiver from New Orleans.

Granted, the Tide returns five of the six top receivers from the 2013 team. But it's that one who leaves that Falkins will replace. Kevin Norwood was the possession receiver Alabama needed on so many of those third downs. At 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Norwood was one of the larger targets with sure hands. Then there's Falkins. He's a solid two inches taller (6-4) and eight pounds heavier (203) than Norwood making him an even easier target to spot. ...

Hmmm, that'd be cool, especially if we finally start throwing the ball when it's unexpected.  "Paging Coach Kiffin, paging Coach Kiffin..."   :lol2:

I'm gonna go with OJ Howard.  I think on an offense loaded with talent he'll have lots of opportunities to make plays.

Good call, phil.   #+

If OJ doesn't have a big year, either we misjudged Kiffin (again) or OJ's limited by injury.

Or blocking ability. Seems to be why he didn't play more last year. He's had a year to work on it. Let's hope he now get's it.

Offense: Coker. You could pick a back, receiver or LT and all would be good choices but none are as important to our success as Coker.

Defense: Tony Brown. I like this kid. He may not be a starter in the first game but I think he will become the lock down corner we have been missing. Any defensive lineman would also be a good choice. I don't think you can call a pre-season All-American a breakout player but Collins should have a big junior season before going to the NFL.

Kicker: Who ever our kicker/punter will be I hope they step up. This is a major weakness in the Spring.

There are a couple of holes to fill on the O line that will be key tot he success of the offense.
