Lab work for the returning basketball players for next year

Jordan Mickey- put on 20-30 pounds and work on post game, defending the post
Jarell Martin- lose about 10lbs, work on defending, develop a mid range game
Anthony Hickey- work on being more of an offensive threat (nick Moore style), team leader
Tim Quarterman- develop a shot, work on speed and ball handling, weight room is a must
Shane Hammik- work on shooting, strength, ball handling, defending
Malik Morgan- redshirt to get the knee back strong
John Odo- coordination, body control, finishing layups, develop post moves
Darcy Malone- weight room, post moves, rebounding, toughness, shooting
These are my opinions. I watched this team all year and from my observation if they work on these aspects of the game and we can be a top 25 team next year with the help of the freshman coming in. Give me your opinion of what y'all think.

Mickey, Martin, Tq, and Hickey can all reach what you stated.
Odo and Malone have a extremely long way to go to even be close to serviceable
Shane is a wild card, he looked so bad all year outside of the ole miss game (i think that was the one he locked down on d) and the san fran game

Pretty solid list. I really can't think of much to add.
I'd say Hickey really needs to take 1000 free throws a day.
I actually like Mickey's post game for the most part but a post player can always work on that.
Malik Morgan needs to take about a 250,000 3's before his next game.
Hammink can be a good defender if he continue to work on his quickness. His body looks fine to me as long as he adds some quickness.
TQ needs even more shots than Malik, but he can contribute without it if he continues to develop as a slasher. He needs to get into the lane often.

also hickey and TQ need to work with jones all year on pull up jumper at the elbow. they should do this first and then work in tandem with mickey, martin, and our incoming bigs on driving the lane and dishing it off as the help comes over. Then, expand that and have martin running the base line like a 3-2 type drill so that way one pg stops the other from hitting the elbow jumper the big cuts off the goal from one end but then martin either pops for a 3 or slashes to the goal for a score.

dude, that is alot of weight.
my take. add 10 lbs. work on closing out strong, on ball defense, and post moves. keep developing midrange shot. be more in control when slashing to the basket. free throw shooting

Mickey doesn't really need to work on his post game. Just add strength and bulk (not 30lbs, that's too much) and he'll be able to muscle guys around more. On ball defense is something that he needs some work on.
I dunno about Martin losing weight. If he plays more PF next year, then he definitely doesn't need to. He has the best shot out of every big we have tho. He's not a bad defender, just needs to work on his defensive awareness, which will come with time and experience.
AH and TQ points are pretty self-explainatory. One thing both of these players have is confidence and I think Hammink and Odo would do much better if they had half the confidence of them. I don't think Odo did as poorly as most think, but he needs to be able to defend without fouling. Reminds me of Malcolm White in that respect.
I hope Morgan recovers well, but we'll see what happens. We all knew Malone was very raw and wasn't going to play much this year, but he was much better offensive than expected but worse defensively. Like Odo, he fouled waaay too much.
My 2 cents.

Tim's shot needs work no doubt, but his offensive game will revolve around slashing to the basket. If he keeps working on that, he'll be fine as a scorer.

I like Martin's mid-range game. He does need to lose some weight and gain more quickness. Also, he could use some work on ball-handling. He hasn't learned how to finish with his left hand in-game yet.

I thought Hickey was a senior?
Also it'd be nice if Martin could develop some sort of semi serviceable post game
