Title: "Top-ranked kicker, Tide commit performs in the clutch" Post by: Chechem on January 27, 2012, 05:21:18 AM Quote In a recruiting class packed with 5-star names like T.J. Yeldon and Landon Collins, a 3-star guy named Adam Griffith is easily missed. But the Calhoun (Ga.) High School senior is the top-ranked kicker in the country. He’s got a big leg and proved himself in the clutch. http://dailybamablog.com/2012/01/26/top-ranked-kicker-tide-commit-performs-in-clutch/Griffith kicked four field goals in the Class AA state title game win...........

I will say ours redeemed himself in the BCS game. Title: Re: "Top-ranked kicker, Tide commit performs in the clutch" Post by: 2Stater on January 27, 2012, 07:09:09 AM I watched Griffith in that game on a link that one of you guys posted about. He is exactly what Bama needs, an accurate FG kicker even from long range, and someone who can kick it through the end zone.

Andrew Bone said last night that he had personally watched him kick and he was very consistant kicking the ball through the end zone. He also said he had also talked with one of the top kicking coaches in the country and this guy said that he is the best kicker he has seen in 15 years.

I will say ours redeemed himself in the BCS game. Cade Foster was a very highly ranked kicker. Cade could kick in through the end zone in HS. I don't know what happened. As hscoach has pointed out several times kicking FG in college is much different when you can not use a block. I hope this guy solves our kicking problems for the next 4 years. How big is he? He looks like a 9th grader.

He is 5' 9" weighs 165 I'm not sure what happens with the kickers once they get on campus as far as any coaching goes but Foster definitly went backwards with his progress.

I'm not sure what happens with the kickers once they get on campus as far as any coaching goes but Foster definitly went backwards with his progress. Cade Foster has an unusual kickoff style. As a casual observer (well, interested observer), it seems to me that (1) "punching" at the ball as he does could easily injure the kicker, and (2) CF is limited in terms of potential improvement using that technique (i.e., he's maxed out for distance).

That is what it appears to me. ???

Title: Re: "Top-ranked kicker, Tide commit performs in the clutch" Post by: hscoach on January 29, 2012, 10:54:15 AM It didn't look like he used a block when he kicked. If this is true he is ahead of the game. Many kicker have to adapt to going from a 3 inch block to kicking off the ground. This is what helped Colt David who went to LSU. Colt was a ready kicking off the ground his Sr year in high school.
