It appears that my comment was deleted due to Kuehnja's mess.

Anyways...

I'm stoked to see Justin on scholarship! I'm even more excited to see Kelly continuing to place an emphasis on ST players. It makes Weis' days of negligence seem like ages ago.

So I guess that is a common trait of FSU players? :whoknows:

Justin told Loy on Saturday that he was going to commit to ND after the visits to ND and Northwestern, barring any major change in heart. He committed to the staff yesterday

Cackalacky · Jun 24, 2014

Congrats Justin. Welcome aboard.

He told Loy that it was an easy decision for him. ND fit every category for him. He is Catholic and wants to major in business and both factored heavily in choosing ND.

I thought it was funny that something that stood out about his time on campus was that he didn't get treated "like a kicker" but like any other recruit that they wanted on the team. Kickers must have much different recruiting experiences than nonspecialists.

IrishSteelhead · Jun 24, 2014

A big leg that can get a touchback 50% + of the time is huge too. Really cuts back on the puckered butt moments during a game with a dynamic returner.

*Assuming we will be doing many KO's this season

Imagine that. Very ironic.

I actually had a similar experience during my college visits. Chose Millersville over other D2/D3 schools because the starters and upper class men treated me the same as the running back, linebacker etc recruits and not just a kicker/punter.

Stars?

Notre Dame’s recruiting class added another player on Tuesday with the commitment of Massachusetts kicker Justin Yoon. The specialist is ranked the No. 1 kicker in the country by 247Sports and Kohl’s Kicker Rating considers him a five-star prospect.

Keith Arnold

And if you watch the tape available of him at camp, there is a night sequence, near the middle where he has a series of balls lined up at his 30 yard line. HE MAKES FIELD GOALS WITH THE FIRST THREE! Is this kid for real? He tags 50 yard FG's like an automatic. This kid will probably win a game a year, while he is at ND!

Yoon made the trip to South Bend with his parents and brother, spending the bulk of it with special teams coach Scott Booker, kicker Kyle Brindza and long snapper Scott Daly.

"We were there just two or three hours and I wish it was longer," Yoon said. "Before I left I told coach Booker that I'd be calling him the next day. I felt Notre Dame was the place I should be."

"Kyle Brindza was a major support. He helped me get through it and made it feel like Notre Dame was a special place," Yoon said. "He made it feel like at Notre Dame you're not just a kicker, you part of the family. I really feel that.

Nice work by Kyle

Let me guess, it's someone that sounds like Yoon sullying the thread? #amiright #notshocked

Welcome Justin! Glad to have you aboard.

Not sure about the recruiting part but i imagine its typical to their overall experience .. Typically the K is exiled from the team ... i remember when I played our Ks and specialists would rotate buses every week because the O or D didnt necessarily recognize their importance in a sense

Out of 2.5 hour or so practice we practiced STs for 20 mins and then only joined by the kickers and specialist for 7-8 mins tops of those 20 mins. The rest of the practice they were off to the side riding bikes or kicking on the other practice field

NDdomer2 · Jun 24, 2014

It helps that Brindza has had the success he has had, which has lead to the fan base treating him as a regular member.

Still super pumped about this. We haven't shown ability to view anyone out. Special teams wins the close games.

rtrn2glory · Jun 24, 2014

feels good to secure special teams units for the next few years.

yankeeND · Jun 24, 2014

Sorry, late to the party. Congrats young man! Proud to have you part of ND nation! Awesome get!

IrishFaninTX · Jun 24, 2014

Congrats, Justin, and welcome to the ND family! A great kicker is very important to the success of a team trying to win a national championship. Just ask Alabama!
