Title: "Alabama's kicking competition could be more than just a 2-man battle" Post by: WALL-E on May 04, 2014, 01:02:02 PM Alabama's kicking competition could be more than just a 2-man battle

We need a Prime Time kicker that can hit for 90% or higher in FG's. Kicking wins games and loses games as was shoved in our face last year during the last regular season game. RTR!

Along with freshman signee JK Scott, Alabama will have preferred walk-on Gunnar Raborn to add to the mix. Raborn, who hails from the same place (Lafayette, La.) as departing punter Cody Mandell, made his decision official shortly before A-Day. "(Alabama coaches) called me and I went there to visit,” Raborn told The Advertiser last month. “They told me that I would have a chance to punt and kick for them." ... Sounds like the coaches may be rebuilding the entire kicking game this summer. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "Alabama's kicking competition could be more than just a 2-man battle" Post by: 2Stater on May 05, 2014, 06:49:52 AM Quote With question marks surrounding its specialist positions heading into the summer, Alabama has embraced that mentality, bringing in multiple players to compete with Adam Griffith at both spots.

These 2 guys can't get here soon enough. (Didn't we also say that about Coker?) :lol2: Title: Re: "Alabama's kicking competition could be more than just a 2-man battle" Post by: Jamos on May 05, 2014, 08:12:12 AM They do need some help with the kicking game. :'(
