Sounds like Robinson can make it via a red-eye flight. Be interesting to see if any of the FL kids can make it. Quote Link to comment

It may not hurt much or matter in long run but I think it's something we'd prefer they experienced. Oh well. Quote Link to comment

We've been in the mid 20-30 recruiting rankings for 15 years. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 When it's 28 degrees, snowing, and you're recruiting kids who are from climates that typically don't get below 60, the tunnel walk is a big deal. That's easily the most adrenaline pumping part of the atmosphere when youre faced with those conditions, regardless of how competitive the game is. Quote Link to comment

You would think that with this maybe they are trying to show Caleb the door. Third string punter potentially. I guess if we end up with one scholarship punter I'd be okay with that. Hard to justify two though if Caleb stays. 1 Quote Link to comment

Does he deserve a scholarship? Quote Link to comment

I'm actually of the thought process they'd be bringing this guy in to be the starter. Otherwise I don't think they'd use a scholarship. Quote Link to comment

He's only a freshman right? You'd think if they thought he was the guy for the future, they'd just let it ride. Unless they are looking more at the kicker part of punter/kicker for this kid. Whole host of kickers though it seems like with 2 walk ons and one scholarship. This is proving to be difficult. We've truly been spoiled in both spots and now we are really struggling. 1 Quote Link to comment
