Has Marshall Long regained his leg strength, or is he a possible med dq? For a coach who said he doesnt think he needs scholarship kickers, doesnt 3 seem to be a tad over quota? Im wondering if Camarda will be encouraged to look elsewhere when push comes to shove. (Sorry if this is essentially a repost. I cant find my 2nd attempt after thinking my first (delete below) was probably in the wrong subforum.).

I would say Jake stays. Marshall was not great even at full strength.
I remember seeing Marshall during pre-game warm-ups when I attended the Samford and Missouri games. We arrived for the SEC Championship before the kicker's came out and there was no sign of of Marshall anywhere. Brice punted for a good 15 minutes or so and was clearly the back-up punter. Brice missed the first few minutes when the QB's started throwing and then joined them. We sat in 134 in the corner of the end-zone so I did not have a good view of the bench to see if Long was even in the stadium. I did have a great view and filmed Godwin's TD catch in that corner.
My guess is that Marshall may end up transferring. I can see two scholarships for kickers, but have a hard time seeing three. There are still several underclassman walk-on's that have eligibility going into next year to provide some competition and back-up in the event of injury. I assume Carmada will focus on punting next year but he can do both and Rodrigo also punted in high school so he can do that in the event of an injury in particular for a road game with the limited travel roster. In one of Rodrigo's high school films he scooped up a bad punt snap, ran around the bit and then hit a running rugby kick that went about 70 yards flipping the field.
I think Carmada is a definite keeper as he’s regarded as the #1 ranked punter in the country ... and I think the #3 placekicker.
That's not very likely; as in: Getting struck by lightning after winning the lottery is not very likely.
I think I'm more interested in punter.
Our punting game is probably the most improved unit of our team year over year.
Yeah, Camarda is a take. #1 punter and #4 placekicker last I checked. That’s worth a scholarship for a guy that can do both fairly well.
I can see Marshall not getting his scholarship renewed or transferring.
85 is the issue, not 25. Only 17 srs.
I've got some bad news for you...this isn't CMR running the ship anymore. If CKS needs a scholarship, he's going to get that scholarship one way or another.
Would find it hard to see him staying if he knows he isn't going to really play unless he is just like Brice and happy to just be a part of it all.
