I am extremely curious to see how the RB room shakes out. Particularly, will one of the more experienced guys (like McCaskill) separate themselves to be a dominant force, and does Edwards unseat one of the older guys for playing time.
Anxious might be too strong of a word here, but I really want to see how the front 7 comes together.
Most anxious about the trenches on both sides. Feeling good elsewhere, but hard for other units to reach full potential if we can’t block anyone/shed blocks.
Kind of a cop out answer to the question but I’m most intrigued by what freshmen get playing time and who might go over the 4 games played threshold. Dylan Edwards mentioned Omarion Miller as a standout freshman. Obviously Edwards has ridiculous speed and he squats big time weight, that it won’t be a surprise if/when he sees the field. Milliner-Jones, Stoutmire, and McCoy are all freshmen who have much bigger frames than we are accustomed to here. While Cormani has an adjustment period, it sounds like he is so smooth and fluid so far that it will be hard to keep him off the field. I wouldn’t be surprised if Morgan Pearson moves into the 2 deep at ILB given his frame and that the staff liked him. Lots of fun questions.
Most confident about OG/OC and safety because those positions will have some BATTLES. I am confident that our defensive front will be versatile and have a lot of different ways to rotate.

I get the sense that the four game threshold isn't as much a concern under Coach Prime as other coaches. If they can add value to the team, even if for only a few plays per game on special teams, then they will play.

What was this?
Unlike the recent past when we were hoping a kid could develop into a P5 level player in time a lot of these guys are planning to be playing at the next level in five years.
The RS year has little meaning to them.
One of the players that I think will surprise that not many people talk about is Bishop Thomas.
So many interesting story lines and camp battles to play out.
Defensive backfield going to be fun to watch. Competition between safeties and cornerbacks will be fierce.
I really want to see how Breedlove and Cooper show out at corner.
I think Travis Jay is going to be heard from too.

Hahaha, "the pleasantly not surprised category"

*Sorry Pennypacker I miss read your post. I thought you wrote Bishop Thomas will not surprise that many people. Which I took as a great way to phrase, "who do we expect to dominate"
What the hell was that? I saw no yoga or water park trips or guitar strumming or penalty kicks or leapfrog!!! I saw coaches who were on the emotional peaks instead of being in the valleys or that emotionless middle ground!!!!! I thought this was supposed to be football?!?!?!?!
The energy when coach Brew was up was night and day better than the spring.
Team and energy seems a little different than last winter
Why?
I’m most interested in seeing how safety shakes out. 5 legit dudes for 2ish spots. Good problem to have.
Most anxious about their ability to make a top half of the conference oline out of a bunch of average parts. They figure that out, they have a legit shot at 6+ wins.

If they figure out how to make the OL top half in the Pac 12 this year, they have a great shot at 8+ wins, IMO. IDL has some questions and they would have to stay healthy everywhere else, but OL is the one area that could hold the team back or propel them to a major turnaround.

As late as the end of September, we thought there was a genuine chance we’d keep Dorrell for another year due to financial restrictions lol. Now look at us.
Twitter still remains a daily kick in the nuts for CU fans. Basically non-stop dunking on us. But as Coach Prime says, “too blessed to be stressed,” and that’s what I say in my head when I see an annoying post. Hiring Coach Prime still feels as insanely awesome as it did day 1.
Yep, and then he gets "his music" on his way into the meeting room and we are off.

Pinch me, Let's goooo
Respectfully disagree with your characterization that Twitter is dunking on us.
Maybe the ones you're seeing aren't hitting my feed or getting reposted here, but I'd describe the negative social media posts about CU as bricks, not dunks.
