Wanna bet? Not to start the year. Les doesn't give that role to true freshman out the gate. OBJ would seem to be the obvious answer. Hopefully it won't take long before Les feels comfortable with White and Brazil back on kicks. You have to get that speed on the field.

I'd be surprised. OBJ has good punt returner talent but not kickoff returner talent. For kick offs shiftiness is not too important. You want great straight ahead speed, the ability to cut without losing speed, great acceleration, good size, and balance.

My guess is Collins, MaGee (sp), Brazil, White - in that order. That's to start the year. Brazil or White seem like the right guys in the long run - depending on which has the vision.

I thought the last couple of years had dispelled the notion of Les not playing freshman

White absolutely has the talent to start at KR and CB from day 1 next year. I wouldn't be surprised if Les does it.

Brazil has the talent start off at KR too.

Miles has changed his tune on freshman. If he earns it, he will do it.
