I agree, that was very impressive...The most impressive was the kickoff thru the endzone when the field was all wet on sloppy...
We are really getting a great kicker or punter...

I'm prone to making dumb statements that no one agrees with but, considering the huge importance of the kicker in football these days and the increased importance of punting at tOSU (versus other schools), I really feel this is one of the most important commits we've got. I know he's not Adams/Brewster/Shugarts/etc, but this is a guy who will be here 4/5 years, and will likely start in close to 40 games. We'll rely on him for 300 points over that time, and possibly saving us with punts as well.
Living in another part of the country where teams and coaches don't seem to focus on the recruiting of kickers, I'm always so impressed with the focus that tOSU has on special teams and the quality of the kicking they bring in.
I love this guy.

Can't say I disagree with any of this...He has future AA kicker written all over him, just by skill alone, and to think that he is going to have our staff to learn from who seem to be able to do a great job of developing kickers...
I think we might be hearing a BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU chant in a couple years...

I agree. It just has to sound similar to "Nuuuuge" or "Hyuuuuu"...

Wow. The kid loves OSU so much he's willing to kick without a scholarship. My favorite Buckeye as soon as he puts on his uniform, no question. I hope he wins multiple Groza and Guy awards at OSU and goes on to make big NFL money. Quality character with exceptional skills. What esle could you ask for?

Given the importance that kicker's have played in Ohio State's success on the field over the past few years I don't think you need to worry about being alone in your assessment.

Am I missing something? Where'd this come from?
