BN $ - Hagerup: 'When I found out (Basil committed)...'

7/6

By BK...was wondering if he still had an offer after Basil committed (which he does) and after contact with the staff he is still considering OSU.

You would think a kicking or punting scholarship to Ohio State is like the best offer you can get. We are known for it probably more than anyone haha.

Georgia has been very good at producing kickers as well.

Update... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recrui...ecruitId=81142

Will Hagerup, the top punter in the nation, will likely decide which college to attend within the month.

Espn.com states:
Before he announces, Hagerup would like the further investigate Ohio State and Michigan, "I'm going to visit Ohio State and Michigan for sure within a couple weeks. I'm going to see practices at both places and take another tour at each school."

Hagerup mentioned that a commitment could come in the near future, "I will decide within another month for sure."

Eh, not trying to say the kid isn't really good at what he does. But he's a punter... I don't think that a punter, even if he's the top player in the state, would have much effect on recruits around the state.

no offense, but if the kids grow up wanting to win a championship, then they are not going to wisconsin.

With Barry Alvarez, I could see the appeal. With Bret Bielema...not so much.

Scout - Allen Wallace - 07/25/09

Top five of Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Florida. Will try to make unofficial visits to Ohio State and Michigan in August. Would like to decide before the start of the season.

Since it's reportedly down to Ohio State and Michigan, I hope Hagerup just takes a broad look at the Michigan program and the possible instability that lies within.

However, that having been said, assuming that Michigan learns how to field kickoffs, they *will* be punting a lot.

The kid can obviously play. He is a punter and has 13 offers. That's unreal this early in the process. I think OSU's past success and emphasis on the kicking game is good news for the Bucks. He will make a decision in the next month. Stay tuned.

Craig Haubert: The nation's top kickers showed their leg skills under intense competition at Jamie Kohl's National Invitational Scholarship Showcase - ESPN

The camp had a very strong field of punters, but two stood out not only for their ability and size. Will Hagerup (Whitefish Bay, Wisc.) was a prospect I had seen at a regional camp in the Wisconsin Dells. At that time, he was already holding 10 offers and by the time he arrived in Whitewater he had added three more. Hagerup is easy to spot; he is a tall kid with a great frame and could really develop into a physically impressive kid with time in a college weight program. Looking more like a tight end prospect, Hagerup's continued physical growth could strengthen his already strong leg and delivery. One of the things Hagerup, who holds offers from programs like Florida, Purdue, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio State, and Michigan, said college coaches note that they like about him is his size. The sought-after punter did not come into the camp complacent. He finished second in the charting and battled until the end in the punt competition, proving why he is one of the top punting prospects in the 2010 class. Hagerup said a decision could be coming within the next month.
