| Kicking game
With the staff complete now and recruiting heating up I notice that there is no mention of a kicker and my assumption is because Palardy is a senior next year and CBJ doesn't want to tie up a scholly this year.
Who is going to coach the kickers? Is there any track record of any coach that can possibly get us at least back to zero missed extra points with the players we currently have? |

| George Bullock is supposed to be very good. He broke a leg in early practice last season and took a redshirt year. He should be ready but nobody knows what his leg strength is going to be yet as he recovers. Most suspect he will be fine. | |

| Does no one pay attention to other [recent] threads and current players (Bullock) anymore before starting yet another thread on this same topic? Smh.  | |

| What is this kicking game you speak of? Is this something new? I've forgotten what that is. | |

They have ways of maintaining strength without putting pressure on broken bones so I am sure he hasn't lost anything. Soccer players break legs all the time and are usually back in a few months depending on the severity. Does anyone know if it was one or both bones? | |

| You just can't carry 4 kickers on scholarship and they already have 3 in Palardy, Darr, and Bullock.
Far too many holes on this team to tie up another scholarship. | |
