Tripper...is this a true story? Or care to comment? That would explain some things...? Ole Dooley is starting to really disappoint me
Kickers make or break at least two games a year. We are fools if we don't try and do better than Palardy. He is awful and we clearly all see that. We need to move on. Recruit this kid.
Sorry for late post. Doesn't sound right. Only place DD would have seen him kick the summer near Nashville would have been at MTSU and I doubt seriously that DD was there. George earned his scholly at UTs camp this summer. He kicked literally 50-60 balls in front of DD and he was hitting his last as well as his first. He is not a punter, but he has an incredibly strong leg. He will definitely be vying for KO duties next year. He has raw talent that hopefully will be groomed next year and will give him time to develop his accuracy. No excuses, but his leg was a little dead mid season from all the camps he attended this year, pretty grueling summer for him. He will be working with Wilhoit this spring so he'll be ready.
from what I am hearing, it will be a kicking scholly or a soccer scholly, no walk on. I know early in the season he was talking about trying out for the Brazilian National junior soccer team. I dont know if that is still an option or not. He needs some work, but he definately has a VERY high ceiling, and I could see him going far as a kicker.
