Got the commit from Will Riechard.... #1 Kicker Class of 2019. Guy is the real deal. Ended up with 5 offers.

LSU was on him as a sophomore and we were first to offer him. Damn.

The one position Alabama doesn’t coach up well at least.

Probably why they went after him so hard. Will really is a rare breed. Won’t need much if any coaching

So who's up next? Any chance Bulovas transfers? I'm not sure if he'd consider LSU even if he did, since he called Alabama his "dream school"

Alabama hired one of the more respected special teams coaches in Jeff Banks this offseason.

Will this put them over the top and help them win Natty's now?

You really don't need the #1 kicker to be effective. 85% or better from 30-39 yds, 75-80% between 40-49 yds. And an ability to leg the kickoff to the end zone. Any FG longer than that and we should be punting and letting our defense handle it's job. There are many kickers who can knock in 3 out of 4 from 40-49.

He'll be the first 5* kicker ever by next week.

Oh crap. They might get a title now.

FYI they've signed several highly rated kickers in the past.

2 things

It's hard to cheat at kicking

Steroids don't benefit kicking that much

Hey Barrister
I thought we were in the lead for him. Did something change or is just typical Saban pull.

Also, you don't have to worry about reinstating your kicker from an assault charge.

Alabama with an elite kicker makes me sick to my stomach

If this kid is like a Daniel Carlson from Auburn, look out.

He is from Alabama. In the end, home won.

He had offers from us, Oklahoma, Oregon and I think Georgia.... as well as Bama. If Bama hadn’t offered I think we would’ve got him. Family didn’t want him going too far away.

The thing you are not thinking about/ saban never uses his scolly on kickers. He always has walk on kickers. He preferred to use scolly on DL/OL. So he now using one for kicker. That’s one less big man he can’t have.

I doubt we sign one in this class. We may take a walk on, but there are too many good players in this class to pass on for a kicker. Next year, we'll sign one.
