who was 3-8 of field goals his junior season. His punting stats look better. We have a guy on the roster from my hometown that was 18-21 his senior year of high school and is looking to get a shake this spring.

Corey Smith from Bunker Hill, WV.. he just commited... this should probably be on the recruiting board... check out his video over there... this guy aint no joke... probably the top kicker/punter prospect in the nation..
 
Re: Why are we recruitng a kicker....

maybe we want him for punts and kick offs? Maybe someone else will step in for field goals? I don't know....I'm not kicking expert, nor am I a recruiting expert. Hell, I'm not an expert at much of anything, come to think of it. :conf3:
 
Re: Why are we recruitng a kicker....

Kick-offs being moved back another 5 yards probably has something to do with it .
What was already important , has just become a bit more important .
 
Re: Why are we recruitng a kicker....

I heard it's because Saban likes to blitz a kicker every once in awhile to keep the offense on it's toes.
 
Re: Why are we recruitng a kicker....

If he can punt I'm all for getting him to campus. I'm tired of seeing people take over the ball on our 40 yard line. If he can't kick straight I would be for using another scholly on a kicker. Our kicking game, especially the punting, has been atrocious for much too long.
 
Re: Why are we recruitng a kicker....

He is recruiting a kicker b/c JC is gone after next season and we need someone to KO, and maybe he can punt too.Last year we were OK with FG's when JC was hurt,but KO were less than average w/o JC.To be honest,I'm not sold on any of our FG kickers too,but this guy seems no better at FG's.

Why???????????

Because we are in need of him!!!!!!!!!

Everyone who has watched Alabama football over the last few years knows it.

You should watch a game.

someone please remind us of the arkansas game....i mean just a thought :biggrin: sad to say but we NEEED him
 
Re: Why are we recruitng a kicker....

I think it's about time. We've neglected the kicking game for so long because we didn't have the extra scholarship for someone who wasn't an every down (on offense or defense) player. Now that we're back to full strength in the scholarship department, we can finally use one for a good kicker. The walk on's have done okay, but okay needn't be good enough anymore.
 
Re: Why are we recruitng a kicker....

I don't care what you think of numbers- 3/8 field goals is terrible, if he is a punter thats great, but 3/8- we know what that gets us- a loss to Arkansas
