2FarGone No One of Consequence

Unless they changed something, students can walk up and try out. Most are invited though in some way

He can’t go to walk-on tryouts?

2FarGone

No, they said they wouldn't bother to look at him.

Green Ranger

8/22/19 8:46am

Go anyway.

Yeah, that seems weird. I don't buy it.

I understand if people don't. I find it weird myself, but it's the truth.

He is enrolled at BYU, but they are at the point where they might withdraw Kade

Green Ranger

8/22/19 8:52am

I think it's weird to transfer schools just to have a long shot at walking on somewhere else

Indy Coug

8/22/19 8:55am

It's not necessarily a long shot. Keith was teammates with Fred Whittingham and

Sounds like a favor for personal friend which would be understandable in this context

CLCougar

"They want him" or "they want him for a tryout". Huge difference.

Eddie

If he is enrolled at BYU, Yewts shouldn't be talking to him.

I think that only applies to rostered players.

Jesse Pinkman

I mean it happened to the guy kicking for the Bucs

That actually sounds right to me.

8/22/19 11:57am

As he said in the post, even if the kid went to walk-on tryouts they wouldn't

DapperDan

8/22/19 8:46am

Walk on try outs is a misnomer.

If Lamb’s answer is because they don’t need kickers then seeing him kick won’t

I understand that, but didn't oldroyd have a bad back in 2016? Seems like

You don’t have to tell me man

JollyGreenGiant

8/22/19 8:57am

Southam is a good kicker.......

mokelembembe

8/22/19 9:05am

Was Oldroyd so good that you would turn away other talented kickers?

CrimsonCardinal

8/22/19 9:56am

Well, he has beat out Southam in kicking and Danny Jones in punting, so

Pigskin Pete

Has he been admitted into BYU? a current BYU student?

TheLost

8/22/19 9:03am

He has been admitted and has signed up for classes.

Green Ranger

8/22/19 9:07am

The facts you don't want to hear...

TheLost

8/22/19 9:24am

He is even trying to recruit BYU and that is not working. That says a lot!

Joined CB today to stir the pot. Doesn't sound suspicious at all. However, here is a link to your answer

indocoug

8/22/19 9:24am

Lamb is trying to be kind probably. Is often the kindest thing to tell someone

runnincoug

8/22/19 9:24am

Yeah with all the focus on family and embracing past players, seemed odd

Green Ranger

8/22/19 9:28am

Just because you have good kickers doesn't mean you can't find one better.

TurboCoug

Probably because BYU has the pipeline pretty full with kickers

Jesse Pinkman

8/22/19 9:27am

I doubt it has anything to do with K's or pipeline, rather roster spots for K's

This is different then a Matt Gay situation though.

Go anyways! Force his hand. Just start kicking. Stay late and kick. Tweet

Coach lamb wont be there when he signs up in the SAB. I imagine that is an intern's job. Start there.

DI isn't for everyone. If he really wants to play, I bet there are DII or III

marticorp

8/22/19 11:39am

Is this where we are now as a society/fan base? We have drama over a kicker being told basically he's not

I can respect what you are saying, but posting this is in pursuit of what you

Green Ranger

For sure. Honestly best of luck to him. I sincerely hope he becomes really good and gets a shot. I guess

RoaroftheCougartails

If he really wants to play D1 fball go the JC route, JC all-AM will get looks

Part of this might be because the yew's kicking situation is pretty bad, and BYU
