    Depends, did he try out on the team on his own or because Holtz asked?

    AND you were right he had horrible game against FAU 9 AVERAGED 18.7 yards on 3 kicks-- do not think he played in last 3 games -- . We are getting a lot of 3 star recruits so we are not the only evaluators that miss . I am all in On Davan as our punter-- watch the 2 guys warm up and confused why Davan road the bench so much. He is also an avid Rugby player from Gold Coast Australia --

    Read my post again. I said these were walkons that made a contribution to the team this year.

    I'm glad you had a good experience with this staff. Just so I'm clear, I'm not suggesting that Skip Holtz's style doesn't work for him, because it apparently does, or at least he thinks so. I'm simply answering a previous posters question about doing what we can to help Tech sign certain recruits. I just haven't found this LA Tech coaching staff to be interested in anyone's input.

    My first and only attempt to help this staff came in Oct 2015. I sent a nice e-mail to 4 members of the LA Tech coaching staff (plus 1 LTAC courtesy copy) asking them to consider looking at a punter from Dallas Lake Highlands (same high school as Matt Dunnigan). The player was a family friend, and had won several "punting camps", including one at LSU. I included a player highlight video, the players bio and 3 coaching references in the e-mail. I asked the Tech staff to consider looking at him as a walk-on punter for Tech. Because the player's father was originally from Spring Hill (and played at NLU), the kid knew all about LA Tech and wanted to walk-on at LA Tech.

    No one from LA Tech ever responded to me or the players' parents (who were also copied). Days later I re-sent the e-mail just to be sure, and still received no response. The Tech staff never even gave the kid a courtesy look, or me a courtesy response. The kid is now the back-up punter for Oklahoma and just attended the Rose Bowl as a dressed out player. And after what I saw from OU's starting punter in the Rose Bowl, the kid probably has a chance to be the starting punter next year. I guess it worked out for him.

    So, now imagine how frustrating it is to sit in JAS and watch LA Tech punter Brady Farlow average 18.7 yards per punt on 3 attempts against FAU. Farlow's three punt attempts against FAU were for 37 yds, 12 yds and 7 yards. It's not a stretch to say many high school punters in north Louisiana could have done much better. For the record, Farlow averaged 37 yds per punt in 2017, 2 yards less than my own high school punter averaged decades ago.

    http://www.espn.com/college-football...meId=400938656

    If I didn't love LA Tech so much, this would have been a really funny outcome. Because all I can do is laugh. Considering how the LA Tech coaches ignored good info about a good punter prospect that they could have had for FREE, the ignorance is inexplicable.
    thanks for explaining that the FAU game was an aberration-- 3 horrible puns that averaged 18 yard a kick BUT for season he was averaging 37 yard per kick but eliminate FAU game it would be over 38 . Add to that he did not play in last to games and Davan (from australia) averaged 39 yard per kick with a lot downed inside 20

    What you are posting is he was average punter but had 2 horrible kicks in 1 game. I personally am more interested in NET Yardage -- saw a kicker punt 80 yards and they held the return guy to 90 yards -- this was in Dallas --

    this has been focus of our recruiting for months now-- Wren has potential to be our next Amik ( except he's offense) what is cool is that he rounded up 2 other 3 star recruits and they all signed morning Bowl game. We also signed another Mesquite 3 star player who is coming to Tech --

    Actually Wren did not round up two other star recruits. His teammates Calhoun and Williamson committed (as did DJ Jackson from crosstown W. Mesquite) before he did. Calhoun has been tweeting at other recruits regularly on Twitter to join this LA Tech class. Wren was the final commitment from Mesquite.

    Winners are not impressed with a 7-6 season. If they are, then yes, they should go elsewhere.

    I'm not sure why it is so hard for you to understand that some fans, supporters WANT MORE! I think I have been very clear in expressing my views. I have acknowledged Holtz's success in bowls (Tech is just one of four on a 4-bowl win streak). I like Holtz, both as a coach and as a person. But...I ask, will we something more than a 9-win season? I don't like excuses and "yeah, buts." BULLSHIT!!! Kiffin just proved that a good coach can quickly win a CUSA championship and have 11 wins. That's it. No more BS excuses for Holtz. You sunshine pumpers got donkey-stomped by Kiffin for all your excuses.

    Personally, I think recruits respond positively to passionate fan support. First, they know we are fans. And it reads far better than fans of a loser coach singing his praises.
