[Loud and Proud Bison fan]

I do not think he is that huge of a get (meaning size at 5'11) but damn looks like he has "Southern Speed." I was impressed with the highlight film. Welcome to the Bison Mr. Channelle!

Welcome! This fragrance is called "Bison Victory by Channelle".

Mentioned it in the recruiting thread but I wonder if this means that Talbert is going to start off as a DB since this would be the 4th WR commit of this class with Sproles, Talbert, Mathis, and now Channelle?

That is what i would assume. When the signed him he was listed "DB/WR." Could mean they are trying him at DB first, or just alphabetical order. I am guessing he will be a cornerback.

Ty Brooks started as a corner and then he rushed for 700 yards, averaged 9.2 ypc, had 7 rushing TDs, and caught a TD pass in only 10 games as a sophomore. And he averaged 29 yards on 3 kick returns and had an 80 yard TD called back

Yes he did! I am happy for him. Has nothing to do with this conversation. Professor brought up that Talbert could play DB, since we brought in two more WR commits. I said I agree because of what was posted when they signed him.

If he performs like Ryan Smith he won't need to be huge. We need some speed.

Speed would be Jayden Price. Ran a 10.73 100 last year. I'm curious to see if he runs a 10.6 something this year. He improved remarkably every other year, he may even run 10.5 this year.

I haven't heard anything about him running for the Bison, but if he really is this fast, I would expect them to recruit him.

Sorry, this is kinda the wrong thread. This one really got side tracked.

A lot of really fast guys are bad punt returners and a lot of slow but quick guys with excellent vision and timing are great punt returners.

As far as ST's, I think the responsibility is on our ST's/WR coach. Would only be on Kleiman if the coach just isn't capable and needs to be replaced.

I think what the Bison really need is a guy who is just flat gifted at punt returning. Not necessarily a TD machine, but a player who never muffs and has that innate ability to know when he can field the punt, and when it should be fair caught, and when he just needs to step away. It's like playing center field at a high level. It takes gifting,talent, and skill. IMO, ST's really are special.

Maybe Kenneth runs a 4.7 forty but he has these other qualities. Godspeed Kenneth.

Averaged 30 yards per punt return which isn't bad.
