I've been wondering what we were gonna do here. Brindza is on his final tour, Newsome seems to me as more of a punter specialist, and if we can grab this kid we should be in great shape with not having to depend on one guy for all the kicking jobs.

if the staff felt he was worth an offer i'm ok with it...never mad about having good kickers on the roster and i'm not stoked about having a guy do both like we've tried recently...forces us to be mediocre at 2 positions instead of good at both, not that Kyle is a mediocre kicker, but i think he's much better when he gets to concentrate on just kicking

This thread is too long for a kicker.

Then we will boot you from it....

Which two were the funniest? Exactly how sensitive was Beau being?



Alright, let's move on then.

I'm not one to get that excited about settling for a FG, but if these distances are right, we'll be puntin a lot less if we can land this kid.

“I’d say on a calm day, when he’s healthy and feeling good, probably 55 to 60. He can move it back with a little breeze on his back, but on a calm day, I’d say 55 to 60 is where he’s at.”

any chance they pull the CW method and want 10 kickers on scholarship?

I dont think we would be punting very often from any reasonable FG distance. Inside the 40 you probably go for it a large portion of the time. Outside the 40 he has to have some serious leg to hit anything over 57.

Loy posted a note on Yoon. He is friends with Alex Bars. He is actually from Nashville but goes to prep school in Massachusetts.

I posted in the "Who we land next 2015" that he would be our next commit after Stanford received a verbal from a kicker last week. I think it might happen today.

I really hope so! Dependable Kickers are a must!

Coach D on ISD (whose opinion I respect greatly as many of you know) watched Yoon's film and felt compelled to post for the kid. He said he had never before watched a kicker's film before and been so impressed he felt the need to post about him, but that Justin has one of the strongest legs he has ever seen on a HS kicker. He states that the ball explodes off his foot, and that he has a great quick and compact approach to FGs, and gets great height.

I would LOVE to have Justin follow up Kyle in 2015.

It really cannot be stressed enough how important it is to have a big time kid in at K. In all reality we need him, this does not in any way feel like it would be a luxery or a bonus. Would be a huge get!

Agreed, in the college game having a good FG kicker is rare and can be of great significance.

If we get him all we need is a squad that can block on punts and we'll have some damned good special teams.
