That did work out pretty well with Wade. Too afraid of contact? Did O'Neal ever play any defense? Vinson for instance came here as a WR but I'm pretty sure I remember he had a pretty decent defensive resume also.

How many school will this guy play for?

I say he plays for some Div2 or Div3 school for one year(if that) and then declares for the nfl draft.

He wouldn't have to declare because he will be a SR.

Wade didn't seem like a guy that was afraid of contact. I don't blame the coaches for not trying Kenny on defense. If he's not smart enough to figure out the WR position, he won't be smart enough to play any position in the defensive back 7.

I think he was asking if KO was afraid of contact and not implying Wade was.

Correct. I suppose I could have made that a bit clearer though. He may have a point on the brains. If it was just a question of hands then a shot a D might make sense. If he just can't figure out what he's doing on the field it likely doesn't matter. Just hate to see a 5* guy come in such expectations but leave with such ignominy.
