Title: Maybe we've been looking for kickers in the wrong place! Post by: First Down Alabama on November 07, 2011, 06:37:39 PM http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2011/nov/06/derrick-brodus-springs-from-couch-answers-call-a/
Pretty interesting story...crazy, but interesting. Title: Re: Maybe we've been looking for kickers in the wrong place! Post by: BAMAWV on November 07, 2011, 06:53:09 PM What a story. I'd like to hear the whole thing--details.

Post by: First Down Alabama on November 07, 2011, 07:05:16 PM My first thought was, "doesn't he have to be cleared to play through the NCAA.". GPA.? Etc. I wonder if he is a walk- on or something. I too wish I knew, "the rest of the story".

Post by: hscoach on November 07, 2011, 07:16:16 PM The major question is can these great high school kickers make the transition to college without the use of a block? By Colt David's Sr year he was using a 1 inch block and practicing without one when the season was over. I think this is something all college coaches should, and probably do, address with incoming kickers.
Title: Re: Maybe we've been looking for kickers in the wrong place! Post by: pmull on November 08, 2011, 08:03:17 AM I heard this story on Rick & Bubba on my drive to work this morning. The kicker was a walk-on. He was offically listed as a redshirt freshman. He was not asked to dress out and did not have a ticket to the game. Dooley had the police go get him from his frat house. He was previously cleared to practice and play for the team. This was not some random student they found on a minutes notice.

Post by: cbbama99 on November 08, 2011, 02:12:13 PM How about CNS making a call to soccer coach Todd Bramble to see if one of the ladies would suit up for the game this weekend? If not, then let's start combing fraternity row.
