Steve "Don't call me Richie" Rene was a good case of someone that is really fast but they couldn't find a position for him. That said, I wish they would offer Eason if only to get other big named guys. If he can play well then that would be a bonus.We found a spot for Estime. How is this kid any different? Fast can play a lot of different positions.
If we had a big class, like 25 guys, then I think we'd be a lot more apt to take him. But since it's a small class and we have so many pressing needs, I just don't think we'll see them give up one spot to a 5-6 kid just because he's fast and friends with some of our other recruits.Steve "Don't call me Richie" Rene was a good case of someone that is really fast but they couldn't find a position for him.

I realize the problem in numbers, but a player who has the speed, that with one block can take it to the house, should always be worth a spot. Northwestern two years ago, turned that game around with 2 huge punt returns, 1 for a TD, and the other set up a TD.If we had a big class, like 25 guys, then I think we'd be a lot more apt to take him.

Haven't have real good kick off or punt return men since Mike Holmes, and Max Suter, and they played on some bad teams.
