No, you sTFU. His only job is to kick FG's.

I'm a kid as well and Bertolet is trash. I know a dozen kids from high school that can make inside 30 yds all fvckin day

Pretty sure when he got here he had just turned 17. Very young for his class at an age where boys are at extremes on maturity level. He'll get there. But he's pissing me the fvck off right now

Took me a few years to perfect my craft as well

& Imart is a porn star!

That should be your clue to reevaluate your position.

We've got a fish kicker. He's the only scholarship kicker on the team. We're In a bit of a scholly crunch for the 2013 class. No way a kicker gets another scholly. Now maybe open tryouts in the spring for a walkon slot, otherwise bertolet is our guy for the next 16 games or so.

Talk about pulling his scholarship is the reactionary decision of someone who can't see beyond today.

Do I like the misses? No way. What's the alternative?

Calm down, I hadn't seen his earlier post. What I quoted from him was basically frustration in that the kid's one and only job is to kick FGs. There's no excuse for him to be this bad at it, regardless of classification. I'm not so sure I wouldn't be opposed, though, if the coaches encouraged him to consider transferring to a school closer to home. We don't have room for multiple kickers on scholarship, but that doesn't mean Bertolet has to be the guy for four years if better options are out there. They don't have to pull his scholarship if it's his choice to leave...

You can pull his scholarship, but that still puts you in a bind for 2013 recruits. Are you suggesting we give one of the three remaining spots to a kicker and turn down Savage or RSJ? There's a lot of talent that we're in the mix for, and you want one of our 25 signees in 2013 to be a kicker? Pulling his scholarship settles the 85 schollys per school issue; it doesn't address the 25 NLI per year issue.

Not to mention that we would have another freshman kicker next fall. Could be in a similar position as we are now. Except that we had to turn down some top notch talent to get said freshman kicker in place.

Kickers are always iffy. Other positions are more predictable. I'll take a 4* LB, or ATH that we've been working on for 12 mos over scrambling to find someone at a position sumlin and company haven't even explored.

Maybe we could sign a JUCO kicker? If the recruit is a mid-term guy then it won't affect the scholarship limit... Am I right?

Yea I just hope he gets better.. It's pretty evident that the kicking game is one of the weak spots on this team.
