I would, too. Think about how much different our 2014 season would have turned out without him.

And since then, we would have beaten Tennessee in 2017 and avoided a lot of misery (not to mention made a bowl). We also would have beaten Citadel this year and would have a very different outlook on this season.

I remember those Clemson PKs in the early 80s - Igwebuike, Obe Ariri...punters like Dale Hatcher...Danny Ford recruited and signed those kids. The results spoke for themselves.

I remember watching Hatcher punt in the Shrine Bowl (I was maybe 8th grade?). You knew that kid was special. The hang time on those punts was amazing. I think he was one of the first Ps to hit the top of the Superdome.

While you're disregarding his achievement due to altitude, take a look at this article from the summer.

I had intended to post earlier, but didn't. Now seems like the right time.
Shows how difficult this really is -- from any altitude -- due to geometry and the imperfect shape of the foot/shoe. It's a very Tech-friendly read.
