That is a real shame... IMO a father's job is to prepare his kids for life... not fill their heads with unrealistic expectations....
LOL... been a while since I posted here.... for some reason, I caught a bunch of crap a couple years back! Don't know Brad's father, but blaming him for his son's decisions might be a tad misguided. While I've always taught mine to be responsible for his actions, and not to hang out with the wrong...
As the father of a previous LSU kicking camp winner, let me suggest that if your son has not yet been seen and rated by Chris Sailer Kicking (http://www.chrissailerkicking.com) get it done quickly. Chris runs the LSU kicking camp and will help promote kids that he's had in his camps. Best of luck ...
As he saying goes... that why they play the game! Time will tell whos. right...

re: Kicker scholarship

Cade Foster was one of the top kickers in the 2010 class and he is under scholarship. Les offered Kyle Christy as a kicker from the 2011 class. LSU did offer a scholarship to a couple other kickers after Christy chose to go to FL as a punter. ...

re: Vote for Brad Wing!!!

Interesting how things work out... When Kyle was offered, it was to be LSU's next kicker, but Wing had yet to clear NCAA issues, so he could have also been the punter this season... We go to the FL camp and he gets offered as a punter and he chooses to go to FL. Wing, being a Red Shirt Freshman...

Not sure what you watched, but Kyle's always been a 2 step punter. That's one of the reasons LSU and UF liked him so much. That, and his ability to get distance and hang time on punts. But since LSU had Wing lined up as their punter, JoeRob wanted Kyle as a kicker. Did Wing end up red shirti...

What I will tell you is that when Coach Miles called to offer my son a scholarship to LSU as a kicker, he told us that Wing had not cleared NCAA and so (in his words) Kyle (my son) was even more valuable to him. It will be interesting this season (and 2-3 more) to watch Brad and Kyle battle it out ...

Have you given any thought to exactly what "asking anyone (let alone a kicker) to gray shirt" does to the kid and his family? To my knowledge, for the 2011 season, LSU has only 1 kicker and 1 punter under scholarship. Both 2010 team K & P are seniors and graduating. Did highly touted 2010 punter ...
I'll put on my fire proof underwear before I comment.... Now... as a father who sat in Coach Miles office this summer, and personally heard him tell me: "if your son comes to LSU, I'll be sure to take good care of him..." I was speechless after seeing this on TV! Any "system" that allows you to ...

re: Punter from Lake Charles

Posted by Hoosier Dad on 11/6/10 at 8:08 pm
Kris is a great kid and a very good punter. He did very well at both the LSU and Florida camps. I am a bit surprised that USC decided to take a punter, kicker and LS in the same class, but that should give them some consistency at Special Teams for the next 4 years. At this time, the question for...

Can't say I've ever seen a kicker or punter get 5 stars from SCOUT, RIVALS, or ESPN. Most times those services will begrudgingly acknowledge that a kicker/punter can even contribute to a team....
Last May, at the Sailer Camp in Vegas, Dalton was "ranked" #10 for the punting competition (Kyle was #13). He's a JC kid, two years older/bigger/stronger than most of the other kids who were competing. Sailer does not take age into account when ranking ability... In Sailer's book, Dalton is in the...

re: Has gore, ego, or wing arrived?

Posted by Hoosier Dad on 7/25/10 at 8:38 pm
I expected Wing to end up at a JC. The NCAA takes their entry rules & requirements very strictly. However, LSU does now have a JC punter coming in. Dalton Botts (see new punter thread)was just offered and committed to LSU....

According to Chris Sailer Kicking, this guy was offered by and has committed to LSU! He is a JC guy and is ranked very highly as a punter. We wish him success at LSU!...

re: Kyle Christy to UF

Posted by Hoosier Dad on 7/5/10 at 12:16 pm
We have had the opportunity to meet Kris and his folks at a couple different camps. They are all GREAT people! I believe Kris truly wants to play for LSU, and would be a great addition to the team. But you still need a kicker. in 2011....

re: Kyle Christy : Kicker Film

Posted by Hoosier Dad on 6/30/10 at 7:19 am
Ok... I expect to be blasted here, but I'll post anyway... 1. LSU was the first camp on his schedule. He impressed the coaches with his field goals (made from 55 out off the ground), kickoffs (65-73 w/ 4 sec hang), and punting (multiple 40-50 yard w/ 4+ hang). 2. FL was next to last on the...

Don't know who exactly you might be refering to on the ego comment, but if you're refering to Kyle, you could not be further from the truth. He's a great kid who would be an asset to any team....

re: 2011 Offensive Prospects

Brad Wing did not get cleared to play by NCAA. I am happy to say that Coach Joe Robinson was very happy that Kyle Christy was at the kicking camp last Saturday. Kyle dominated the field goal competition and the kick-off competition. The punting competition was canceled due to weather, but Coach s...

So where do "Special Teams" (kickers & punters)players fall?...
