Not sure how texas is ranked ahead of us. Three of our three stars are .1 away from being 4 stars. Yet a 3.67??? Should be closer to 3.97.

Ok...despite 1 more player, we have more 5 stars and they have more three star players than us.

AFter how terrible we looked punting I went to their team site to see how he did. They won 40 - 20 and never punted.

We all know what kind of class we have and we know where we compare to other schools. If they are going to take off for our punter, thats fine by me. We needed a punter so we took one. #1 JC at that. Its a great pickup for us despite the associated ranking due to it. No worries we still have more to come.

Auburn's average stars is 2.77 and we only have one two star. It is counting all of are unranked JUCO players that are going to be 4 or 5 stars.

Jacob Hester was a 2 or 3 star depending on where you looked, I will take those players anyday and let others have 4 and 5 stars that never produce.

Yes because this is exactly how Saban and Miles built championship teams for LSU.

How does FSU continue to bite so bad with their continued great recruiting?

every year this gets more and more publicity and its importance continues to increase in stature.

It's kind of amazing to watch this aspect of college football evolve.

I hope to god that one day in the distant future it's gotten so bad that rivals and scout eval 7 and 8 year olds for their potential skill sets, 40 times, and even never-ending motors.

I'm still a little confused as to why kickers keep getting offers. He's taken two since he's been here (in the same year no less) and neither has done much of anything.

I don't understand giving a punter an offer but not accepting one from Christine Michael (if all the chatter is true).

And please don't tell me "trust the coaches". That's a tired old argument as well.

Hey Saint did you see the game Sat. If you did let me ask you something. How did you like our punting? Was that satisfactory enough for you. Trust me I get where you are coming from with the K/P on scholarship. I want the big names too. But we still have to fill our needs and Punting is a serious need at this time. K/P are a very impt aspect of the game. Dont you realize they can single handedly screw up a whole game despite all the talent around them. It sucks for K/P that the majority of the time they go unnoticed until they mess up.
