Kicking Prospect?

[SacHornet]

Actually, I'd like to know what the alignment was like on those short ones Diniz missed. Often, given college hashmarks, kicking from the hash from up close makes for crazy angles.

that is true, a close FG from the hash cant really be compared to a PAT as the angle is drastic, i know protection wise you normally have to put an extra guard on that side simply because the ball is going in that direction and not over the center

I'm not convinced that Diniz 2.0 is going to work out... I know it's early, but I'm skeptical...

I was with a buddy of mine who coaches at St. Helena high school and took notice of this young man's kicking ability...

His name is Manuel Gomes and he's very athletic. He's played in exactly two high school football games (he's a senior now) but I think he has the potential to be a DI kicker.

When I was watching him, nearly every kick off was a touchback. And, I saw the kid nail two 55 yard FG in a row and come close from 60. He's a little raw accuracy wise, but I think he could be a gem.

Saw this kid play again last weekend. He is nails. He drills PATs with authority and routinely makes his FGs. He's a little raw (soccer to football transition), but he just barely missed a 52 yard FG on Friday night in crappy weather. He would be a touchback machine too...

You should look into forwarding his info to the coaching staff if you are that sold on the idea. :twocents:
