LSU is using a scholarship on a Backup High School Kicker

I was skeptical when LSU took Cameron Gamble's commitment. I watched him on film and while he had a big leg, I had major issues with his approach. I was also skeptical on his accuracy.
People were saying to trust the staff and taking a kicker is warranted.
But Cameron Gamble has been the backup kicker to Andrew Hitscherich for Flower Mound each of the past 3 seasons when it comes to FGs and PATs. He is 1 for 2 on field goals in his entire high school career and is not placekicking this year either.
I know kickoffs are an important aspect of the game, but is LSU really using a scholarship on strictly a kickoff guy in arguably the most loaded class in Louisiana history?
Check the stats for yourself.

This absolutely boggles my mind. I don't want to rip on a kid, but this makes absolutely no sense to me at all.

Considering the amount of talent in this years class considering LSU it's a bit questionable to say the least.

(a) random tigerdroppings member that researched stats on a kicker. Or (b) LSU's staff that actually worked out and put the recruit to the test. LSU doesn't give away scholarships like McDonald's monopoly pieces. I'll trust the staff.

Lol you had major issues with his approach ? He just told me he will work on his approach to make sure you are happy

Have we ever had an AA kicker? Not a flame, I just can't remember.
Heck, my son has only kicked in one Jamboree and is only a miss away from matching those stats.

Just when it seems like the Recruiting Board can't get any creepier.

Only problem I have with post like these are that you have no idea what the coaches see in the player in question, and you also have no idea the conversations the coaches have with these players. He may not even be given a scholarship. It also may be contingent how the class shakes out. Considering hes a kicker, he should have no problem with the coaches saying, you may not have a spot if we land all our targets. I dont see our coaches telling these kids they have a spot and there is nothing to worry about. If that were the truth, then what would make a player hold up their end of the bargain? Weve held up our end on multiple occasions with players either not making grades, getting in trouble off the field and injured players.
The one thing that was blown out of proportion was the Elliot porter deal. But guess what, he's our starting center now and has a full ride to LSU.

It's annoying when we offer kickers. We have a kicker on scholarship now that got beat out by a younger walk on. A few years ago we had two on scholarship. It's a waste.
