Who will start at PR and KR next year? This is def. a spot where we struggled last year. Don't say Trindon, I just don't think he can handle the footsteps prior to catching the ball on a punt return.

That was early in the season. Did you see how many times he was just one broken tackle away from breaking it?

Trindon Holliday, Richard Murphy, Ron Brooks and John Williams would be the most likely candidates imo.

Likely Ron Brooks and TH.

He finished 5th in the SEC in punt returns. Much to your dismay, he will be the return guy next season.

i'd say a bulk of his average was from that 92 yarder against north texas

Tridon will defiantly return kick offs with Ron Brooks. I think the leading candidates for PR would be Ron Brooks or John Williams and if they screw up insert Chad Jones. Possibly Chris Tolliver but unlikely. Tridon has tons of potential but his judgment and hands in punt returns are inconsistent.

Trindon should be the punt returner when there is good field position. I am not an advocate of putting him back there with his heals on the 10 yard line. I would prefer to have CJ back there for that.

Regarding kick returns, I like TH back there and Ron Brooks did look good! I also think that Calhoun could be an asset back there.

Whoever mention RS for Kick Returning is truly a TARD!!

Yeah if you had to pick a freshman Calhoun or Claiborne would be the top two. I really think these two red shirt and like it or not Miles plays seniority when close to equal ability is in play. Ron Brooks and John Williams are getting older and have good speed and HS return experience. Chad Jones will be a permanent starter on defense and to valuable to use in PR unless they have to. His PR ability is reliable but not a great home run threat anyway.
