Where are we ultra thin at that we can't use one scholarship a year on a specialist? I think we just had a walk on snapper from Leeds last year if I'm not mistaken. What if we lost an MNC because of a bad snap on a extra point or snapped the ball over the punters head deep in our territory that would lead to a loss. Would that make the position more deserving? because years ago kickers didn't scholarships and that's when many teams carried 120+ scholarship players. The sports world has gone the way of "the specialist". 3 point shooters/shot blockers in basketball, relief, setup and closer pitchers in baseball, and now specialist in football. It may or may not be seen as a wasted scholarship in the future but for now I support the coach's decision on personnel.
I think he forgot to turn the sarcasm emoticon on. We aren't deep enough anywhere to be giving a scholly to this guy.
BTW, didn't Tuberville do this (and caught hell for it) his last year?
