Is anyone else concerned?

Mullen is doing a good job using his TV presence to get on TV and thr talk about the program.
It does feel like he is using a pitch and not sure how much higher level interest he is truly getting like he is saying. Either way what he is doing is a good thing and I like it.
It is just a little concerning when all of the best remaining talent is putting their name in the portal and we haven't had a lot of good news yet. Some, not a lot.

If my memory serve me correct, guys like Antonio Doyle, Mani Powell, Jalon Catalong commit really late. Correct if I am wrong. Those guys teams were in the bowl games. So surprise to see Grimes didn't play in the bowl game this year.

I agree hes doing a good job selling UNLV that people are interested and lighting up his phone. He almost seemed annoyed that Collin kept asking him about other programs and not about what hes planning on doing at UNLV. Who knows the truth the level of interest hes receiving but the national perception that hes getting a lot of talented calls might really help land some players we might not normally be in the market to get.

He got injured in the first quarter

Just guessing, Purdue with the ST coach. I think Chittenden was a great kicker this year, but inside a domed stadium is a lot different than outside in the cold of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan..

I do not buy that domed stadium crap. While I do not want to admit it, since he may be leaving, Chittenden set a field goal distance freshman record verse Oregon State in the rain

He is good. He will be better as he is getting stronger. He is still a kicker.

Shibest is the latest to join Purdue.

Kind of telling that Odom had 3 coordinators 2 were asked to follow him and one was not.

He also fell short on one in Boise in the cold.I have to imagine conditions played a role in it.

Kicking in a dome and not dealing with the elements has to be easier overall. Not just from the actual kicking but the snap and hold as well.

There was an actual Harvard study on it in for the NFL (Good to see those outrageous tuition costs are studying things that matter!)

'Not surprisingly, there is a strong association between kicking indoors and greater FG success. From distances of greater than 20 yards, being indoors is strongly associated with higher FG success. And the significance of this association appears to increase along with the length of the FG attempt.'

It did go on to say that after 50 yards there wasn't much difference. Having more to do with kickers leg strength. But from 20 yards to 49 yards significantly easier kicking in doors.

Marion wanted to be a HC, that was always his goal.
