All these bowl games are making me too excited for next year. I guarantee you will see a huge turn around @ UConn and a bowl game appearance

It's rare that you see people get excited about the incoming kicker, but this kid has me excited... :cool:
 
His tweets last night were awesome. Talking about FSU's edge in special teams, disliking FSU not shaking hands after their loss, and now this gem. He's got a confidence about him that comes across through Twitter (I know, it's just a bunch of tweets). I really think he's going to push Puyol to the sidelines and take over kicking duties at some point next season, even if it's just kicking kickoffs.

Its a damn hard GRIND but DAMN is it ever worth it

Because next year there isn't going to be a competition. I'm going with the mentality that it is MY job

And to all the people that think I'm going to red-shirt, when I take my steps back to do the opening kickoff vs. Villanova, watch what I do

I wonder if Puyol is following him...might make for some entertaining fireworks.

Yet another reason why these recruiting sites are such crap. The PK
on the 2nd team All American is not even ranked. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Puyol is a very spiritual kid. He tweets a lot about religion and faith. I, too, am interested to see how the two will get along. I'm sure they'll be fine. To be a successful kicker, you need confidence and a short memory when you miss. Turbutt seems to possess the type of personality that bodes well for kickers.

But he wasnt allowed to bring 'JC' into the huddle and thats why he missed a few - when you have the Lord with you everything is possible but when Susan kicked him out of our huddles that hurt our ability to make every kick...

Well I can see how he ended up with Diaco. No shortage of talk before any results.
 
It remains to be seen, but this kid sounds like he may possess captain-like leadership qualities. Desi Cullen was the last kicker/punter I can remember with that kind of swagger.

I didn't call Diaco a failure.

You are a very mediocre troll.

Read through your posts from this past season and tell me that there's evidence you think otherwise.

I'd say all the posts where I clearly state he may still end up being successful.

Do I think there is a lower probability of it turning out well than I did 12 months ago? I'd say anyone who doesn't agree with that sentiment is either delusional or lying.

He did an awful job in 2014 in so many ways. Hopefully he's a quick learner.
 
Being a kicker requires Brass Balls. If the kid can kick the ball in high school he can lick it in college as long as he is mentally tough. I suspect he'll be good. It's like fouling Larry Bird with the game on the line and you see Larry smile for the first time all game. He knows he ain't missing the free throws. Kickers with that confidence are golden.

Amazing weeked at UCONN! So excited for next season and a new beginning! Time to go home and put in the work to earn a starting job #UCONN

This guy sounds great...what a positive attitude and realistic too. Knows it will take hard work to get to where he wants to and doesn't seem caught up in the recruiting drama either. Welcome aboard Michael!

C'mon whale, it's all good. Whenever I see one of these threads bumped, I'm expecting it to be a decommit.

That's like telling your girlfriend she's a dog but asking her to give you a pass because at some point in the past you told her she just might end up being beautiful someday-maybe. See how many home cooked meals that gets ya!

I've bitten my tongue for a long time but your act has been stale for years. It's a sad day when HFD can't post his insanely positive views here yet you spew negative daily.

You do realize you're responding to a post over a month old that was a response to someone accusing him of saying something he didn't say, right?

You're half right about HFD. He's insane. I recall him flipping out over the color of the tie our coach wore. And it wasn't anything close to positive.

I only looked at the most recent post, not the original. And the tie color is why I added the word "insane" about HFD's posts. No one always agreed with him but most always knew he loved the program. I don't get the same vibe from Whaler. Send me his last 2 posts that were totally positive towards UCONN FOOTBALL. Hell, send me one.
