After a QB, a great punter would be the next player I would recruit. They can make 5-10 yards difference every possession. And Bobby Bowden (wide right vs. Miami) can tell you about how valuable placekickers can be. How many national championships did it cost him?

A bad kicker/punter can ruin any team. I'm not sure why their position is so undervalued. How often do teams spend scholarships on having multiple RB/WR's who rarely ever see the field? But refuse to even offer a scholarship in many cases to someone who will be the person who actually wins or losses games?

I mean look at USC. If we had a bad kicker last year we would not have won the Rose Bowl.

John Mackovic at Texas and Mark Richt at Georgia would not sign punters. Both paid dearly.
