Sorry to keep dredging up this old thread. But like keeping the Lair up to date on my nephew's recruitment. He went to a spring practice at Notre Dame, came away somewhat unimpressed. Their coach actually told him "We're Notre Dame, we don't need to kick 54 yard field goals." kindof a crappy thing to say to a kid, hopefully that mindset comes back to bite them someday.
He got called out of class the other day. Dukes (Just threw up in my mouth a little) Special Teams coach came to Louisville specifically to see him. They invited him to their camp, which happens to be on the same day as UK's camp which he's already signed up for. What makes me sad though is he was told through the grapevine that Stoops said he wasn't giving any scholarships to kickers in the 2023 class. I don't think his parents would be opposed to a preferred walk-on sort of thing if it kept him closer to home and he had a chance at a scholarship though. His older brother and two of his cousins, (my sons) attend UK. Told her maybe if he shows well at the camp they could make an exception.
Regardless, at the moment, Purdue is the clubhouse leader, especially with the Brohm/Trinity connection. He has a Kohl's Showcase Camp this coming weekend, anxious to see how he fares there. It's a competition/Ranking camp.
