What happend to the kicker from Denham?

I went to hs there and was wondering. I haven't talked to anyone from Denham in a while who would know. I was just wondering.

Oh ok. Thats good to hear. I knew Nick had been sending Coach Nettles good luck letters each Friday prior to their game, and now that Denham is done with their season I was thinking he may have made a decision.

Being from Denham though, I would think it would be hard to lure a player to anywhere but LSU if offered

he has a offer from McNeese and god knows we need a kicker. Hopefully he takes a full ride as opposed to being a walk-on.

When did you graduate Fish?

I don't recall any of his kicks being touchbacks at Ruston, in fact I remember several miss kicks and being disappointed with his kickoffs. The Byrd kicker had all of his kicks land behind the back of the endzone, leaving no doubt about his leg strength and consistency.

i just looked at your birthday, you are like 20 years older than me. ill leave it at that

Hes not good enough. My boy kicks for LA. Tech and said that Lewis came up to the kicking camp and had a chance to get an offer but got totally dominated by three other kids and La. Tech went ahead and offered Matt Nelson a kid from Texas. If hes not good enough for La. Tech then he must not be to special.

drew alleman is the man i hope he gets some playing time next year. I loved watching him boot 50 to 55 yarders in pregame, and he is a clutch kicker as he won the state championship on his last second fg from about 45 out

From what I have read, he made a 57 yarder in one game and a 52 yarder in another. He apparently has a pretty good leg(although his stats say only 12 of 21 touchbacks on kickoffs), but I can't find out how many he's missed. Consistency is the key here. If you look at the number of attempts beyond 50 yards at college or even in the pros, it's rare to even take the shot. Colt David had a very rare year with two 52 yard field goals in the same season. For most colleges, the coach would rather have a kicker that is 80-90% inside of 45 yards than one that can hit at 57 but is 50-50 overall. Accuracy and consistency are more important than distance simply because of the numbers that are taken inside 45 versus outside 45. Just look at Melhoff who was picked up twice by the saints, strong leg, but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. He even missed PAT's. Of course, they cut him.
