TurboCoug Walk-on

I would agree with that except this kid is NOT better than Oldroyd and Southam or any other kicker in the pipeline. Sorry. His video shows lack of form, lack of height etc.

Andy Phillips/Matt Gay Situation

Green Ranger

He can’t go to walk-on tryouts?

2FarGone

8/22/19 8:44am

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

Green Ranger

8/22/19 8:46am

Go anyway.

RedSox

8/22/19 12:49pm

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

Cougar TD

8/22/19 8:46am

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

Green Ranger

8/22/19 8:47am

Is he enrolled as a student?

2FarGone

8/22/19 8:49am

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

8/22/19 10:32am

"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.

rockhound

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.

tribUTE

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

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

8/22/19 10:08am

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

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

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

TurboCoug

8/22/19 1:21pm

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
