To me FG kicking in college is 80% about accuracy and maybe 20% about range. Give me a guy that is deadly accurate from 45 yards and in and I am fully satisfied. 11/25 is terrible unless he had a ton of kicks at 48+ yards.

Well we should be used to inconsistency. Guess I would just go with the guy with the elite leg and get him here this summer and work the crap out of him. Really want the one with ice water in his veins, but I guess you won't know that till he kicks in pressure situations.
For Day's sake I hope we like him enough to offer outside the combo.
Give me a guy with consistency, the heck with a booming leg. We supposedly had that with Bell but he couldn't find the goal posts if they had fell on his head. I wish we would go after the very best JUCO kicker we could find across the country. They are already use to kicking against better competition without a tee and more along in their physical development.

I agree to a certain extent. Consistency is very important. Guess I'm having '15 flashbacks of LSU. To me, if your coach thinks he can develop the big leg to be accurate, get the big leg. If he would rather have the guy who looks more consistent in the beginning, get him and try to develop leg strength. But no one will know if he is a clutch kicker till he runs out on Scott Field and drills one from 40+ in tight ballgames in the 4th quarter.
