Ive mentioned Whitley's kicker several times this year.
Ask LWC how many times ive defended Whitley this year for using thie kicker to kick field goals when being blown out to help this kid try and get a scholarship.

We do lose nothing this year.
Look at the rest of our stats. How many other seniors on this team contibuted?
I watched one of our D Backs, who is a senior get beat like he stole something all night against SW and get ran over by Powell.
To be honest, we lose nothing, we will be much better next year.
And, FYI, kickers are only important when your teams on the 20 with 1 second left and down by 2.
Kickers dont win ball games, but to say i havent mentioned this kid time and time again this year is absurd.

This is one of the most unwise statements I have ever seen from RIUTG.....I am almost shocked as his usually has good insight. Kickers are very important and McCoy won a couple of games for the Colonels this season and will be missed although they do have another kicker who is going to be pretty good too. If kickers are not important, how come kicking into the endzone is so important if you can do it. I remember Bell with Merrick and he kicked into the endzone about 85% of the time.

Whitley also loses several of their offensive linemen, but with Bobby Gibbs as the offensive line coach they should be fine. As far as skill players they do not lose anything and will have some young kids who are going to make them better with competition in practice and challenge for playing time. I think they should be better and will continue to improve for the next couple of years.
