    Are they recruiting him for a qb? I wouldn't figure they would take another one since they already had the jersey shore looking guy.

    You think Shane looks Jersey Shore? LOL

    They still need depth at QB. After Denard leaves, they likely only have Devin for 1 more year, then down to 2 scholly QBs.

    #1 punter in the country just committed to Auburn.

    Yeah I know that a handful do. I just don't consider a handful to be a common thing. I'd rather my team not use scholarships on these positions unless it's an extreme case.

    I don't think schools should be allowed to not have their kickers on scholly. It seems dumb to tell a kid he has to pay his way to kick for you.

    Why is it different than any other non-scholly player?

    I would say because the kickers and punters have a very large impact on the game. Field position alone is worth a scholarship for one punter and one for a good kicker a easy choice IMO.

    Our scholly punter didn't punt any better than my high school's punter this year. I just don't think the talent level is great enough between the top and middle punters.

    Like I said, the top specialists in the country are on scholarship. It doesn't make sense not to. If you can get the best long snapper in the country, or the best punter, or the best kicker, that usually takes care of that phase of the game for 4 years without having to worry if you can find someone playing intramural soccer or whatever. I think those scholarships are well worth it when you look at how many games come down to a special teams play.

    No problem. Not saying your wrong. Just don't agree 100%.
