I agree with the Bell County snub…it also now appears ex Butler kicker Desi Cullen’s little brother Kieran is making an impact down at Murray State. He booted three field goals in Murray’s win this weekend. Another kid who got no interest from the UofL coaches.

I still believe that our kicking game is better than last year, though. And field goals and extra point probably won’t matter against Cincy this weekend. If we get the chance to attempt any…

Two comments.
1. Paul you left out an important word when you said “A coach should know his best place kicker by now.” You should have said “A GOOD coach….” which of course limits the field here.
2. I come back to SK’s not recruiting the kid from Bell county who was the first kicker ever to be the top vote getter in the CJ All State team voting. He was a kid who wanted to come here and never ever heard from us even though we had such a terrible kicking game last year.

This is a walk-o, NON- scholarship player
filling in for scholarship guys who failed in some way themselves
and this walk-on consequently deserves the support of his coach
particularly at times like this–
because do you really think extra points are gonna matter vs. Cincy

A Divisin I college kicker needs to make extra points! His performance was pathetic. Kragthorpe is doing exactly the right thing in opening up the competition.

I don’t know how he kicks barefoted. Especially in the cold weather. And Kragthorpe…asked Howie Lindsey if he wanted the job…in jest, of course, but still…way to toss him under the bus, Steve.
