Unsourced, unverifiable (suspected hoax). PROD was removed. — Snigbrook 13:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I suspect a hoax as well. The only sources I can find are unrelated to the article. a little   insignificant  13:48, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. He apparently does exist (see  and look for the name), but the facts don't line up.  He's in a different conference than what's here.  Can't say hoax, but I can always say WP:BALLS.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 17:47, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * (ec) Delete As I noted in the my prod2, there is a baseballer of this name, and he was selected in the Major League Baseball Draft; beyond that, though, there is nothing to suggest that any of the article is true (the Tallent for whose existence we can find sources played at Chattanooga State Community College and Armstrong Atlantic State University and was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2004). That Tallent does not appear in the University of Tennessee's all-time draft register and that there is no entry for Tallent at baseball-reference.com, databaseBaseball.com, or Major League Baseball's official site, each of which is a reliable sources that comprises every player ever to have played in an MLB game, more than suggests that this is quite less than real.
