Johnston kicker...
- Thread starter psycln11
- Start date
I go to school with the Zach Guyer (Johnston Kicker) I belive if we offer him, he will come. But i'm not sure he'll come if they just offer him to walk on.
This is exactly what I have heard.
I would say 2 kickers on a full ride wouldn't be a bad thing considering our History in this department. Unless the staff knows they have a proven kicker on thier hands.
what is the deal with coaches not wanting to offer
a scholly to punter or kicker? I know alot of players and coaches dont consider them 'real players' but still i think its insane to not give one to a kicker. What play can have such a huge outcome or change a game so quickly as a 65 yr punt or a 54 yrd kick at the buzzer? Say like cost a certain team 2 Big 12 North titles.

I think GC experienced first hand what a quality kicker can do for a team this season. He'll do what's best for the team.

Not only that...But check this situation out.
Lets just say we round us up a great kicker. Lets say its a year like this year where our special teams just sucked. A kicker/punter can help hide how bad a special teams unit is when he kicks touchbacks 90% of the time, or doesn't leave the defense in a bad situation by missing a 45 yard fieldgoal or by punting the ball farther with more hangtime etc.... I think those positions get way too overlooked these days. I would rather burn up a scholly on that then on some 4th string linebacker that will never see play.

Kris Means??
Just kidding. I saw recently that he was moved back to LB. I had thought he switched to FB for a time.

If Jamie Kohl says they are good, we should sign them both and let them dual it out for starting time.
Last I knew Means was still at FB. Word is he's been working on his blocking and pass catching. Lets remember, he was only a RS Freshman this year.
Yes on Kaeding and I am pretty sure on Schlicher. DMac offered Kaeding first so ui had to match and could not hold out for a walkon opportunity. I sat next to Schlicher's parents at the Shrine Bowl and overheard some conversations. I think if ISU would have offered a shollie we would have gotten him. I am not sure he got a schollie his first semester, but was promised one his second sememster or second year. Crosby no idea.
According to the roster, we have a kicker who was redshirted. Anyone know the story? If that's the case, why the redshirt?
Connor McMahon is the guy. Pretty interesting story on this kid. He took a year off after high school to go be pirate...as luck would have it he lost his leg. Card game or shark inccident, i do not know. Got fitted with a peg leg. Chizik was waiting till he got fitted with the proper prosthetic enabling him to kick field goals.
