I know exactly what I'm talking about. He's purely a kickoff guy and I would bet on that. He cannot kick field goals with that approach. Is there anything wrong to give a scholarship to a kickoff guy like they did with Hairston? No. I've even said that I would agree with greyshirting Gamble as strictly a kickoff guy. I bet LSU isn't planning on using Gamble to kick field goals unless he drastically changes his approach, which hopefully would be through coaching. As of right now, Gamble is a kickoff guy only, that's not a snarky comment, that's an evaluation of a recruit and most likely in line with LSU's staff opinion. Having an automatic touchback guy can be a huge asset to a team.

And if I'm wrong in my evaluation, then why doesn't he kick field goals for his high school team? Is his high school coach taking mercy on opponents by not having his stud kicker kicking field goals? No, it's that he's a huge risk to get kicks blocked. Take a look at this field goal in a scrimmage. This is his only field goal highlight in his entire Hudl LINK (August 23 vs McKinney Boyd)
He almost gets the kick blocked from the outside. That is absolutely unforgivable in major college football.
There is a difference between ripping a kid without merit and making a fair evaluation of his kicking. He's a kickoff guy right now only for LSU. Maybe he will kick field goals in a few years time, but he's not starting at kicker as a true freshman.
And just because I don't get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars doesn't mean I can't have an understanding of football. Do I know 10 percent of what any of LSU's coaches know? Absolutely not, but I have some common sense. He's not not kicking field goals in high school just because the coach feels like screwing the kid.
