2009 Draft Preview - Asheville 

Asheville:
Jack Deloplaine comes into a program on the slide.  After two straight trips to the playoffs Asheville started to slide and Joe Maryland seemed unable to stop it.  He was moved out so that Deloplaine could come in and get a fresh start.  

With what looks like the weakest offensive line in the league Asheville will be looking for more depth, but what Asheville really needs are playmakers.  Playmakers are lacking on both sides of the ball and Asheville will definitely be looking for the kind of players that can have a big impact on games.  "Even
if it is someone who can be a threat on punt returns we need to look," Deloplaine said in a phone interview.  "In Erik Waters I believe we have one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but it doesn't matter if there is no one around him to help."  

Deloplaine's talk has been pretty blunt with the returning players as he's been meeting with each unit since getting hired as the new Asheville head coach.  "I've told the guys that I'm coming into this with fresh eyes.  I'm not going to look at what they've done in the past and this is a chance for guys to show me that they want to have an impact on the field."  Deloplaine has also been actively recruiting NCFA2 games looking for any standouts.  "We have seen that players who shine in 2 do well in this league as well.  Heart is a lot of what we look for in players."

Joe Maryland didn't hide his disappointment with being let go and spoke well of the players on the Tourist squad when leaving.  "We stretched our talent as far as it could go to get two trips to the playoffs, and I feel that we were just starting to regroup," he said in a phone interview when his departure was announced.  "I understand that management didn't like coming in last place in the division, but I'm not sure they gave me a chance to see what I could do with this new group of guys."

Deloplaine will luckily inherit the number 2 pick in the draft and will probably be looking for an offensive lineman like Joseph Irizarry or a potential impact player like Reginald Oneill.  But no matter who he picks Asheville seems to have a long road to recovery.
