will somebody shed some light on Kenny Wilson for next year ? I'm pretty sure he has a year of eligibility left but where would he be on the RB depth chart ?

The best answer to this question, IMO, is somewhere behind Lucky. After that, it's pretty foggy.

 
My gut feeling is he will have a hard time getting any playing time. He a great athlete, but so far he hasn't shown to be that good of a RB. I know he has had his share of injuries, but when he was healthy, he didn't look that impressive. Yes that could be because of being inexperienced, but is he good enough to beat out Castille, Glenn (if healthy) and Helu? And then you have that redshirt freshman. (sorry, I can't remember how to spell his name)

 
Really?

He has a lot of weight to gain to be a FB.

At RB, he was also a speed back, not a power back, right?

There's a better chance that if he is moved, he'd be looked at as DB or WR.

He had speed and power. Hard to say where his weight is now and if it is still at the 220 listed on the roster.

 
I think he's got a great shot to play if he's got his head on straight and is ready to focus on football and getting it done in the classroom. All I remember of him is he had pretty good speed and it looked like he looked for the contact, especially when he got to the outside. I can't wait to see if he turns out . If not it'll be a waste of talent.

 
I know I haven't been keeping up on offseason things...but I think it should surprise all of us if we EVER see him in pads on the field again in a game. What he did to his leg wasn't just an injury....it was a devistating injury.

 
I think there are too many guys that are better than him. If he is on the team again, he will be behind Lucky and Castille for sure. Not too much playing time for him at all, IMO.

provided that he isn't mauled by a pack of rabid squirrels or gets hit with a bolt of lightning.

kid has had awful luck.

 
I would be suprised if KW sees the 3 deep roster........and that is too bad. I feel bad for him...He was a "freak" of nature when he arrived, plagued by fumbles and injury....then, the devastating injury last off-season....

I really don't look for him returning kicks.....too many problems with fumbles.....with the kind of collisions that take place on coverage, he would be a HUGE liability.....most fumbles on KO, result in points for the other team, because of the field position...

 
all good points...

I wish someone who knows him would post something letting us know where he's at ... is he 80 % healthy ? is he 90% ? I mean , what exactly happened to the leg ? was it his knee ? I mean it was last year so he's had time to recover hasn't he ? Is it like ' Tommy John surgery ' only on his leg ? If he doesn't play this year I might have to give him a nickname like ... Kenny "Mark Prior" Wilson.. I wanna see him out there runnin' dudes over !
