For the linguists, that’s NAN-uh KY-rum and this is the guy who, for a long time, WVU looked to run out onto the field as a second-string cornerback.

This segues quite nicely for me. Bad play, good play. Out of control, under control. Daron Roberts never more than a step away to apply his teaching points.

“He has a high tolerance for criticism,” Roberts said. “When it comes to freshmen, when it comes to most players, I understand that we’re going to be playing in some very hostile environments. I need to find out as much as I can how much they can handle. Right now.

“They’re not going to be that friendly to us in Oklahoma State. I have to try to push as many buttons as I can now and then figure out how far I can go with each player.”

When the Mountaineers put their depth chart out Monday, Kyeremeh and fellow freshman Rick Rumph were on the third team, indicating WVU might not yet be ready to let them loose and that they still have a little to learn about the college game. Kyeremeh’s issue, believe it or not, is his speed and how to manage it.

“It helps if you get beat because you can use your speed to make the play, but sometimes I kind of have a problem with it because I rely on it too much,” Kyeremeh said. “Someone gets behind me and I can’t catch up or I close too fast and he makes a move and I can’t get him.”
