ScottyIce Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I mean, it's an important position. Really important. It's like not rating relief pitchers in baseball... 2 Quote Link to comment

swmohusker Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Not sure what the hell 5 stars is supposed to mean for a kicker, but #2 kicker in the country is a pretty good ranking. I'm not sure why the services don't just fricken rate kickers. They are almost as important as every position on the field.. unless you are the Oregon Ducks Yes, I'm being serious. Bc kickers don't sell subscriptions and are hard to rate.Made 20/25 fgs. 1 from 49. He's a 4 star. Boom. So what does 19/27 get you? 3 star, unless all misses were 40+What about when you figure in distances, blocks, get off times, height of kick, and conditions? What about a good kicker that doesn't have to kick many FGS bc they have great offenses. Bad hold, etc, etc So how about the services watch their highlight film and make those decisions? Good grief. We are talking about watching 20fg attempts and 15 kickoffs maybe? Resources man? Then you would have to rate kickers, long snappers, punters, and kick off specialists. Then why not start ranking kick and punt returners too. Lot of time evaluating 1000's of kids around the country to find a couple of kids that could be rated. They focus on the impact positions. They miss enough on those already Quote Link to comment

Bad2theBONES Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Pickering gets third star for rivals rating. Which seems to me to be a little low given what he was rated by the Kohl's kicking camp. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2018/barret-pickering-185006 1 Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Pickering gets third star for rivals rating.

So they're essentially "maxing him out" already. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He totally should have used special effects in his highlight video. Like the ball exploding when he kicked it or flames coming out of the back of the ball. Quote Link to comment

I'm actually embarrassed by my kicker recruit knowledge so I'm going to stop now. 2 Quote Link to comment
