swmohusker Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Big chance to land a 5 star out of the state of Alabama!!!! (according to the Kohl's kicking rankings) He could start peer recruiting a Snapper and a Holder 1 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I seriously didn't think we would go after a Kicker to replace Brown. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Drew will be graduated by the time this guy gets here..? I.e. why we offered I'm sure..? Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah, I was just messing around about this....... I guess I'm not the only one "doubting" the walk-on. I think we need 1 QB 1 RB 4 WR 1 TE 3 OL 3 DL 2 OLB 1 MLB 3 DB 1 K Hope we can pass on the kicker. How do you want to do that? Brown will be a senior this year, right? I guess if Lightbourne could do it, or this Walk-On, that would be excellent, but I doubt it. Why do you doubt the walk-on? From what I've heard he has the potential. That's enough for one to hope he progresses over his RS year to a point where the coaches are comfortable with him. It has worked in the past, one could hope it does again. Quote Link to comment

sho Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm surprised by the timing. I would have thought the coaches would have given the summer and some fall to watch McPherson at practice to see how he looks before deciding if they need to offer a scholarship kicker. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for digging that up. I'm not sure anything I said is disproved by this. We offered the #1 guy in the nation, imo it'd be great if we could get him. But if we don't, which is probably likely, I hope the walk-on shows enough this summer/fall to make it so we don't have to offer an 2nd tier guy. All I was doing was stating my hopes.

But I'd assume with a guy of this caliber you have to throw your hat in asap to have a chance. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Warrior.... I'm not saying anyone is wrong, well I guess I'm saying I'm in line with the way Riley is thinking. We both are thinking we need to get a scholarship Kicker in this class. The nice thing is, if we don't get one committed, and the Walk-on gets a chance to prove he can take the job over this Fall, then we can scratch it off our list as a Need. Quote Link to comment

I'd just like us to be selective as possible on the offers until the walk on gets a chance. I'd hate to waste a scholly if the walkon is better...ex: Bondi Quote Link to comment
