We do have Bulovas on campus now, so we hopefully don't have to worry about it. Rivals does list him as the #2 kicker, though. 247 lists him solely as a punter.Rtr but can he kick field goals? Asking for a friend
No kicker has EVER been rated higher than 3-stars......ever. My guess is that it is because they are seldom on the field and a five-star rating would skew class rankings. :conf3:Just a question. How is it that the # 1 rated punter is only a 3* ? Is that somehow just inherent in being a specialist? Sure shouldn`t be related to how important the position can be ( vital, as we all know ).
Being the #1 punter in the nation doesn't mean he's one of the top recruits in the nation. Kickers are never highly ranked because they're kickers.Just a question.

Thanks RTR, kind of what I thought. A denigration and dismissal of specialists with which I personally disagree ( and which I would wager that CNS and most other coaches do as well ). A guy who can consistently punt the ball 45 yards with good hang time and that can bounce a few out of bounds inside the 10 is a weapon, pure and simple.Being the #1 punter in the nation doesn't mean he's one of the top recruits in the nation.

And I believe you would be wrong judging by the number of specialists signing LOIs every year. Most are walk-ons. Very few actually get scholarships out of high school.Thanks RTR, kind of what I thought.

Good point and hard to argue. I don`t understand it though. Maybe somebody can explain it to me. If you can pin people deep even relatively consistently and/or know you`ve got a guaranteed 3 from 45 and in ? Seems like a no brainer to me, but then I`m not a multi-million dollar coach, either.And I believe you would be wrong judging by the number of specialists signing LOIs every year. Most are walk-ons.
