I've seen us have slightly high snaps. We also get a lot of kicks blocked. I won't shite on Tinker because he's been through a lot and he's done it mostly for free. But I can't imagine that if we think someone could do the job just as well while not on scholarship that they'd burn a scholarship
It's also important to note that there is someone I know who is connected to the team who says that per Jeremy Shelley's parents, NO special teams player is on scholarship until their senior year if there is one to be had. Says our staff doesnt do schollys to ST. Could be just what they told Shelley to get him to walk on.
but he swears it up and down

IMO, the kicks we have had blocked have almost all been long kicks, where the kicker has to kick it low to get the distance.
Now some of those wouldn't be considered long, except that they where kicked by Shelly.
Think about the 9-6 LSU game. We tried 2 long ones with Foster and he missed. Then we tried a semi-long one with Shelly and it was blocked.
Same with the one in the NC game against LSU, it was semi long by Shelly and was blocked.
The long one blocked in the Georgia game was by Foster, but it was really long. Like 52 plus I believe.

Well that was probably the case when Shelly commited, but since then we have offered Schollys to at least three kickers and a punter. I think Corey Smith was the first, he sucked and transferred. Cade Foster got a Scholly out of High School and so did a punter Jay Williams. Adam Griffth got one last year.
