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.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
