Who do you think should be the starters?

Judging by the spring game I came away very impressed with these two young guys; Ben Wells(true freshmen) and Chykie Brown(RS-Freshmen). IMO those two should be the starting corners but they will probably go with experience and start the season off with Ryan Palmer and Brandon Foster. At safety you will have Marcus Griffin and most likely Drew Kelson.

first game against Ark St. will tell us a little more since Wells and Brown will go against someone else they're not used to, you know?

Me too KTA. I have heard that the coaches think that Chykie will be the next Thorpe winner out of Texas. Ben Wells was the self pro-claimed Best Corner in the state of Texas coming out of high school. You have to love that from a corner because confidence is everything.

Yeah Chykie has some big time game, he just needs a lil bit more game experience. Corners are basically playing on a island you dont want a guy out there 2nd guessing what they are doing, which I feel foster and Palmer both do. Its almost like they dont even look like they belong on THAT campus, just look at how poorly they played against tosu. Wells is going to break the starting line up sometime this year...you can put money on that.

Me to for some reason, they just don't look like corners.

Im glad other people noticed this as well. Its like they are one in the same, they both play too stiff
