I don't know how all this works, but it seems silly to let Bronson go when he showed a lot of promise. I hope benzer gets better if he ends up being our kicker.

The few that had a rep for pulling schollies for the same reason had a different reputation in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then I really hope Benzer puts in a lot of work in the off season and I wish Bronson well. As long as we don't see him kicking a game-winner against us down the road.

Sometimes I think scholarships are given out too easily to incoming Freshman. Here is a kid that has proven himself, and is now being let go. I hope we don't tell CJL I told you so!!!
