'10 FL K Michael Palardy

[Sabanocchio]

I wonder why in the hell he doesn't just come up on Wednesday and participate in camp.

 

[tennessee391]

I think he's the number 1 guy on the board and probably doesn't see any reason particapate, JMO.

I know this is just a kicker but I'm tellin u this guy is important. Our special teams has not been good lately and we could use a solid kicker. The fact that u know u are a lock for 3 points when u get inside the 35 is huge. It can change your entire strategy for the game.

 

[bburger991]

So are we going after this guy as a punter and Acosta as a kicker, this guy as both, Acosta as both, ..etc?

 

[wildberry14]

i wish there was a few more colquitts so we didnt have to worry about it

 

[bburger991]

I think theres actually a Colquitt whos in the class of 2011 or 12? Maybe? I thought I remember hearing about that.

 

[Coach Conrad]

All-American Kicker / Punter Michael Palardy is visiting Tennessee this weekend on an unofficial - he is being recruited by the Vols to BOTH punt and kick. Below are his highlights. Best of luck in recruiting this season!

Awesome, thanks. I'd love to have a guy who can do both.

Let us know about any more developments.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Thanks, Coach.

Didn't see this posted. Good article on Michael.

Nevermind, I've got no clue.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

I didnt think that 9 minutes of kicking youtube highlights could be so interesting.

Obviously he works hard and has a big leg. Would love to see him play for the vols.

Good name too

Its impressive how many kickers/punters the vols have put int the nfl in the past 15 years

I think Coach Conrad is Palardy's kicking instructor. He's not listed on the Aquinas staff.

Right, coach?

 

[Sabanocchio]

Think you're correct, Jack.

I smell Brian Butler...lolz...

Come on, Chris. Lots of prospects have individual coaches. Heaps, Brunetti, Scroggins all have them. I applaud what Coach Conrad is doing.

 

[matts42012]

Thanks for posting coach. He would solve two major problems if we got him.

 

[Ohiovol09]

His highlight films that Conrad posted was very impressive. Palardy has a leg on him and that is for sure.

 

[Lord Vader]

Palardy arrived in Knoxville yesterday evening and is planning on leaving Sunday...

I was just messin' around, only because of all the news that was made of him.
He sounds like a fantastic coach, not some out-of-work rapper and failed entrepreneur.

 

[Tennessee Jack]

there will be a VolQuest story on Palardy later tonight.

 

[governmentmule]

I don't think Palardy will be the right fit for UT,will we have to recurit a left handed holder for field goals ? is there one on the team ? LOL damn we need a good kicker and it seems like he can fill both needs,I hope we can get him

 

[bwilli40]

I am sure someone could figure out how to catch a ball and spin it to laces out. (not dan marino)

 

[LittleDTO]

Someone has been watching to much Ace Ventura.

 

[VolinConcord]

I agree with previous posts, this guy is a must get. As pitiful as the special teams have been, this guy would cure a lot of those ailments. Forcing a team to drive 80 yards every time they recieve the ball, plays right into the defense's hands.
