Why have we lost focus of our need for a kicker from the portal?

If this season has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t have too many scholarship kickers on the roster.

Out of retirement anytime we wish? In fact the pay is so good we can pluck them right off wall st.

Gunn has been here for a while I think. Wasnt he a red shirt freshman this year? When does this improvement start because when you go back and bring in a nonroster guy that is pretty telling? He was fine as a kickoff guy for depth but accuracy is needed for place kicks.He knocked one kickoff out of bounds in the coot game. Is he ever going to be accurate?

I kind of like Dabo's unorthodox strategy of recruiting stockbrokers with bleached hair. It certainly paid dividends in the coot game.

“We rarely recruit kickers- we can just get a soccer player or baseball player to walk on.”
Also Coach Ford- but that approach doesn’t work anymore.

The kicker is a development thing. Essentially no one uses scholarships on kickers so the chances of one coming in the portal is slim to none. Most teams just have a tryout each spring and the best kid gets the job. I think we'll be okay.
