You didn't ask for analysis. I gave you my kicker choice. Kicking isn't super nuanced. The raw stats most often correlate to quality unless there were serious problems with the blocking or the holder. I believe only one of his misses was blocked. Every kicker can have an off year. This guy only has one good year, and it was just above average, not great. His good year was not this past season either. He's trending in the wrong direction. Do we really think the Memphis coaches never noticed his miss pattern either? Do we think they also didn't try to fix it? No, it was the geniuses on Surly who uncovered the mystery. That must be it. Can Banks or some other coach fix this kicker? Sure. It's possible. But after 3 years at the collegiate level, I think we're fighting long odds. He's a senior. He likely is what he is at this point. Fixing muscle memory and ingrained brain function for something he's probably been doing for a decade is going to be hard in a few months. Even professional athletes struggle with this. When the pressure is the highest is when his old mechanics are most likely to rear their head again.

The Ole Miss kicker has eligibility. Make them pay big to keep him. Make him the highest paid kicker in the country. Make him say no. From 74.2% with a known flaw to 88.5% with clutch in big moments.

He's been in college for at least 3 FUCKING YEARS. 3 years to fix his shit and he hasn't done it. Why take a project when you're gunning for a national championship? You're banking everything on the assumption that he's fixable despite never haven worked with him. There are kickers who aren't currently broken. Recruit the best one to the portal. The comparison to Bert is because he is the reason we had to go get Shipley this past season. We were all happy when Bert left. Now we're bringing in a guy who is statistically worse than Bert. It's relevant because it's confusing, enraging and reeks of laziness.

One good year, one mediocre year, one bad year. Truly horrific from 40 to 49, which is exactly why we got rid of Bert. I just don't fucking understand this take at all. If Bert made one more kick from 50, Bert would be better than this guy from almost every distance measure. I suspect we'll be shopping grad transfers and full qualifier JUCO's after one training camp. Hopefully, I'm wrong, but why we prioritized this guy is beyond me.

That's some Taylor Hamm shit.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
If there's a bad ass OT out there, move Baker inside for a year. Next year is the year. We're going big across the board, except for one position apparently.- 2026 Texas Coaching/ Support Staff Thread
On my deathbed it will still be too fucking soon.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
Normally you wouldn't consider Tech a serious contender for a player like Coleman, but their billionaire is throwing around serious cash. He'll at least drive the price up on whoever gets him.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
I'm absolutely baffled by this. He had a bad year, a mediocre year and an above average year. WHY is he even on our radar. It reeks of laziness.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
They were coveting Lagway hard last year. I don't know if this season soured them on him, but he was their dream QB last year.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
One of these is Bert Auburn, the other is the Memphis kicker. Why on earth would you settle for this, when there are kickers like the Ole Miss kicker out there? Pick who you want and recruit them to the portal. Most teams won't budget for a place kicker. It likely won't even be that expensive. Edit, adding the Ole Miss Kicker, who has eligibility left.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
If we're going all in next year, why the FUCK are we settling for that kicker? That dude has horrifically mediocre career kicking percentages. We should recruit who we want TO the portal, not settle for what's already there.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid

These are highlights, so if he has vaginitis it won't show up here. Guy breaks a lot big plays.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid

If it's Gideon, shouldn't it have been done by now?- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
I like Caleb Hawkins the most. I wish we would take a big swing at him. His film is sick.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
We kick short on purpose. We are usually so good on kick off coverage that teams generally lose yardage when they don't fair catch. It was probably a strategic error for this game with so many special teamers opting out. Should have changed course mid game.- 2026 Sugar Bowl - Georgia vs. Ole Miss

The announcers said Williams led the country in dropped passes. He's on a bad trajectory and he's going to be expensive. We should pass IMO.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
