glad he's here but I also hope and pray the Staff actually saw him, multiple times, in person.

With Army offering him, it means that we will have to offer a scholly, I imagine.

Re: Sterling Stockwell: Kicking prospect in the house
It isn't the Army offer that forces this, its the P5 ones. If it was us vs Army, you could try to argue we are a better conference and, you know, not a military college. But when you factor our tuition and the fact that he has offers to cheaper schools in P5 conferences, then it makes it difficult to have a serious shot without offering a scholershipRotorooter wrote:With Army offering him, it means that we will have to offer a scholly, I imagine.

Re: Sterling Stockwell: Kicking prospect in the house
I don't care as much if we burned a scholarship on him. If he's a true Div.1A quality PK that doesn't make you cringe when he kicks the ball or say a silent player when we line up for extra points and has a range that exceeds 40 yards for FG's...........I'll be happy as can be.

Our incumbent kicker is better than most think imo.

Re: Sterling Stockwell: Kicking prospect in the house
Get Ed Murray and Cairo Santos together with him. We need to start another line of top-notch kickers
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?

Bring him in if you're as certain as you can be that he'll be at least a B grade college kicker starting this year. If you're not that certain, pass and bank on Glover improving. Lots of players do.

Re: Sterling Stockwell: Kicking prospect in the house
My read of the scouting report from Kohl's Camps is that Stockwell is a better-than-average field goal kicker. His strength stands out more on kickoffs, which may suggest upside potential in developing into a stronger field goal kicker.

Stockwell just committed to us via Twitter. He used a verbal formula in his statement that makes me wonder if he is walking on.

Nice pickup. We need competition at that position.
Re: Sterling Stockwell: Kicking prospect in the house
Even the team chaplain welcomed him. Fritz uses everyone in this world and the next to help recruiting. We will win.....long green wrote:Stockwell just committed to us via Twitter. He used a verbal formula in his statement that makes me wonder if he is walking on.

We need a guy with icewater in his veins and a killer instinct in addition to a leg. I hope that Sterling has all three. Welcome.

Long Green, what is a "verbal formula?" New one on me.

Re: Sterling Stockwell: Kicker commits to Tulane
Sorry for sounding so odd, I was referring to the words he used to announce his commitment. They reminded me of the words used by at least 2 young men who came in as preferred walkons last year. I used that phrase because I didn't think it was a coincidence and I have reason to think I was right. That's all.PCWave wrote:Long Green, what is a "verbal formula?" New one on me.
