Awesome Article on Kicker Recruiting

This is an article about 3 really good, class of '09 high school kickers from Northwest Indiana. They are all D1 material but had difficulties receiving division 1 offers.

Some of you might have seen Mitchell Voss (one of the three kickers mentioned) kick two 55 yard field goals and a 57 yard field goal off the ground during the College Showcase at the Illinois Off-Season Camp in Pekin. He received preferred walk on offers from Kansas State and University of Michigan.

From the article:
"It's always been the case -- kickers (and punters) are the last to get offered. They'll get teased with walk-on offers, they'll get strung along while waiting for a scholarship to open up, they'll get taunted with "grayshirt" proposals, which call for the player to enroll in January."
