Just taking a wild guess here but it could be because, with those two kicks, the ball didn’t go between the uprights…..Wonder why he missed two extra point kicks last year.

Didn't say he could kick or not, he's proven he can, my point is it's alot more pressure kicking in a hostile environment with the game on the line instead of a MAC gameI don't think who you kicked against has any meaningful effect on if you can kick or not. My guess is all kickers tune out the crowd and situation or they wouldn't have made it past the high school level.
So what's your point? Should we not have taken him because he hasn't kicked in front of 100k? Should we have taken a FG kicker who doesn't have as good of stats just because he's kicked in the SEC or B1G? Or just rode it out with Talty, who hasn't kicked much in big games either?Didn't say he could kick or not, he's proven he can, my point is it's alot more pressure kicking in a hostile environment with the game on the line instead of a MAC game
My point is it's a lot more pressure in bigger games, I didn't say he wasn't good, but you know as well as I that when he shanks a big kick this board will be all over him, I just made a statement which I have the right to, I didn't rip the young man it's just different in the SEC than the MacSo what's your point?

It's not like he's a freshman. He does have several years experience kicking in front of a crowd. The Miami of O home crowds are small, but some away games have had close to 50k. He'll be fine after the first two cupcakes we start with. Did Will Reichard have crowd problems when he started as a freshman? Pretty sure he didn't see crowds like that in high school.Didn't say he could kick or not, he's proven he can, my point is it's alot more pressure kicking in a hostile environment with the game on the line instead of a MAC game
I think that can be said for EVERY kicker on the planet.My point is it's a lot more pressure in bigger games, I didn't say he wasn't good, but you know as well as I that when he shanks a big kick this board will be all over him, I just made a statement which I have the right to, I didn't rip the young man it's just different in the SEC than the Mac
My guess is he's coming to Bama at least in part (idk how much NIL $ a kicker gets) to prove to the NFL that he can thrive in a pressure packed environment and perform at the highest level possible.My point is it's a lot more pressure in bigger games, I didn't say he wasn't good, but you know as well as I that when he shanks a big kick this board will be all over him, I just made a statement which I have the right to, I didn't rip the young man it's just different in the SEC than the Mac
Yeah, but can he cover people in a larger stadium? AZ state only holds 53,599.If we can get ed woods after his visit, that should address our biggest needs at the moment (ot, k, cb) After that it'll be interesting to see if we add any more depth at oline or db. There's an oline from Clemson that entered yesterday that is interesting as a depth piece.
Woods is likey start for us early, may not hold off the young guys long but he would be a big addition for depth and experience.
Agreed. We are deep on DL. I think he would have been a contributor eventually but in today's transfer portal era it was an easy move for him. Probably going to transfer to the Barn since they are desperate for DL.Talented player but was still outside the 2 or 3 deep i think. Best of luck to him.
Can't transfer to the barn in this window. No intraconference transfers for SEC teams.Agreed. We are deep on DL. I think he would have been a contributor eventually but in today's transfer portal era it was an easy move for him. Probably going to transfer to the Barn since they are desperate for DL.
Betting on Florida State. That is where all Bama backups go. And they are not in SEC, so no transfer restrictions.Agreed. We are deep on DL. I think he would have been a contributor eventually but in today's transfer portal era it was an easy move for him. Probably going to transfer to the Barn since they are desperate for DL.
Auburn is getting a kid who transferred from aTm to USC. Isaiah Rakes or something.Agreed. We are deep on DL. I think he would have been a contributor eventually but in today's transfer portal era it was an easy move for him. Probably going to transfer to the Barn since they are desperate for DL.
How many on scholarship now? I heard it's at 86.If we can get ed woods after his visit, that should address our biggest needs at the moment (ot, k, cb) After that it'll be interesting to see if we add any more depth at oline or db.

Good point on having to sit 1 year.Betting on Florida State. That is where all Bama backups go. And they are not in SEC, so no transfer restrictions.
