We have one of if the the top high school kickers (place kick and punt)in the nation on scholarship. What happened after he got here I do not know. Sometimes things do not work out the way you want. But there was no aversion to recruiting a kicker, but you cannot use too many scholarships for kickers unless you are fielding a soccer team.

No one ever ran any ads in any newspaper. Where that myth began, I have no idea. Must make for good TV. June was quoted in the papers saying special teams were a concern.

There is a great one about 5 blocks away at HP. And I mean great - not just good

I made some very positive comments about him after seeing him kick at the Landry classic,but I have never met him or his family...he kicked the ball through the end zone after each HP score. I can't remember his name but orsini goes to the HP games so he has seen him kick. Surely steve does some scouting..

Not related. Just watch him kick it out of the back of the end zone every week and think he'd look pretty good in a mustang uniform.

Drug runners? Because the kid is from Mexico?
Nice. :roll:

I think he's definitely a candidate, if not the front-runner.
