Watching Aguyao for FSU makes me so jealous.

We need to recruit a kicker every year. Maybe one of them will turn out right.

kickers dont really get any coaching in how to kick. no football programs that i know of have a coach that works on kicking technique. they mostly do that themselves in the offseason with private coaches or kicking camps. the 'special teams coordinator' pretty much just works out coverages

No amount of coaching is gonna make or break a kicker. It's a position where either you have it, or you don't.

That being said, find us a soccer player that's "too small" for professional soccer and bring him to the Capstone

He needed to keep his foreign name. Would make all the difference.

Ours is from Europe. They don't take Soccer seriously enough. We need a kicker from South America. They don't mess around.

We need to higher a former kicker to come out and teach technique. Leigh Tiffin would be a good choice.

That or let JK Scott have a go

You people act like Adam Griffith didn't save Alabama from losing to LSU. Chill out. It's his first year as the starting kicker. Leigh Tiffin was terrible his first year and he turned out alright.
