Bulovas

[maroonmania]

He was 11/25 on FG in High school, I think we'll survive.

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.

Mullen just played Saban! Forced him to use a scholarship on a kicker. What a dummy.

Awww ... now I see the brilliance of Dan's plan. While Saban gonna be using scholarships on kickers and such, we using ours on closet 5* Olinemen no one else knows about and we're gonna kick his Dline's ass ****

Man kicking recruiting is as hard as OL. But Williams has the leg strength to be NFL elite but not near as polished or consistant yet. Dillard it more consistant but he won't be as strong. Both have D1 offers but to come in day one, Buvolus is the one you felt good about being able to do that. And we have a difficult descision if we should offer a scholarship or preferred walk-on to the back ups.

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.

Man I hate Bama. How do our next options compare to Bulovis? Anybody got a comparison?

Options, you talkin about options? Who is talking about options? I just hope we get a walk on!
Thanks, Jim Mora one of the greatest sports clips ever.

Does Bama even have a kicking coach on campus? We've got an ex-NFL kicker and coach on staff.

and that will be key now that we will likely have some kids that need work.....I think State did all they could do to get Bulovas, it just didn't work out

[Irondawg]

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.

If your not just talking tongue in cheek, supposedly we have been talking to other kickers too.

I apologize if I missed this in a previous thread, but who is our Plan B now?

That's a good idea, we once brought in a DII kicker from Colorado School of Mines......can't remember his name

I'm not sure I saw the melt on the boards over Day. Maybe I'm slippin ****

It wasn't over offering Day it was the adjusting of players to make it work that many questioned and melted over

Thanks! Anybody know if a scholarship spot will still remain open or will they try to convince some of these guys to walk on?

Sounds like there are at least 2 others we have been in contact with as well over the last few weeks.

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.

You BETTER get a kicker who has shown accuracy BEFORE he gets to campus. NOTHING this staff has ever done has remotely shown that we can "develop a big leg to be accurate". That ain't happening.

I agree with you, but to be fair, we did hire a kicking specialist last year. Maybe that will help with this issue.
