He was on the preferred walk on list, I am wondering if he got a scholarship offer due to the kicking struggles this spring. Here is what I wrote about him a few months ago.

Mikaeli Nguma Sharyland HS (Mission, Tx) 5’10 150 K/P

Mikaeli has a strong leg. I’m not sure if they will use him as a kicker or punter. He had a career long field goal of 53 yards as a Junior. He received walk on offers from McNeese State, UTEP, and North Texas.

2022 Stats: 45/46 PAT 11/17 FGs Long Distance of 44; 36 Punts 38 yard average Long Distance of 56 yards;14 were within the 20 yard line

Still don’t understand this

Was the spring game kicker on scholarship too?   Plus the BU transfer coming in on scholarship?

Spring kicker isn’t but why sign a high school kid if we have a transfer coming in? Vito said he will have a story on it so I guess we will see.

I think Vito said he was a preferred walk on as well. I haven't seen an official announcement from the team either.

It appears that he will be our punter for sure.  Sawyer Evans was released.  I am a little confused... wasn't Nguma also on a video where they said that he was the #8 kicker in the country?  I thought that he didn't sign then because he wasn't offered a scholarship.  Now, I think that it's possible because he likely may become both the kicker and the punter and Rauschenberg might be just handling kickoffs as he did at Baylor.

Remind me who Sawyer Evans was?   The spring game kicker or punter?   So, how many kickers will we have on scholarship when they all show up?   I'm a little concerned with a high school kicker showing up to fall camp and expected to be our main FBS kicker and punter with just 3 weeks of practice.

Sawyer was a punter (the only one) on the spring roster.  He was not on scholarship but he was the punter at Texas Southern who I believe was a walk-on or PWO for this spring.  He was pretty impressive when we played them.

Edit:  Evans is still on the squad as a non-scholarship walk-on.  He is just a punter; not a kicker.  Not sure how, or if, he'll be used.

My bad about the video.  I remember that the #8 kicker in the country was a kicker  from Lawton, Oklahoma.  There was some similarity in their names.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
