New Gator Commit: #1 K - Eddy Pineiro

[GatorJ]

Seriously. I was happy most of the season until Grier decided to be a prick. The last quarter of the season was hard on the eyes.

You do know he has never kicked in a game. There is zero way to know if he will get the yips or how he will handle in game pressure. That doesn't cross your mind at all? All do you just believe the hype?

He's not new to sports. He's played competitive soccer. He's a kicker.

I haven't been this excited about a kicker since Ace caught Finkle/Einhorn.

Soccer style kicker, right? Not to mention one hell of a model American.

We can nickname him the Mule too

This is some great news! Go Gators!

We just beat Bama for a recruit that's #1 in his position. I know it's a kicker and all, but that's a HUGE victory for us. Now we need to land that LB, whatever his name is.

The "Mule" might be the best nickname for this kid. I love it.

Bama lost on another commitment today as well. An FCS QB who chose Oregon.

Btw, Tennessee just lost the #1 QB 2017. He flipped to Clumpson today.

OK, I'll play. We needed a kicker. We signed the #1 kicker. What would make you happy?

I hope Saban crapped his pants.

He was holding out for a 5*. Since there isn't one, we shouldn't waste a scholarship. We'll never beat FSU because of the enormous talent gap. Basically, we're screwed and you just can't see it.

David Sharpe: Wait we got the Kicker?

 

[GatorJ]

Sharpe continues: We always in FG Range now

Seriously, with the potential of Franks and Pineiro added to what we already have....this makes us players. I'm not sure what more could be done in the off season to make me happier. Way to go McElwain and staff and Go Gators!!!

Never been so excited about a kicker. Way to go, coaches!

Or you could answer the question...you are 100% sold on the kid? If so, from where? The recruiting sites don't matter I hear. Stars don't matter...it is the coaching and development. Which is it?

There were people defending Trask on here. You get what I am saying yet? When a kid is highly rated the recruiting site is 100% on...when it is a 3 star kid then it is Mac that can see a diamond in the rough. Seems convenient.

kid better be automatic inside the 50 after his recruitment drama rivaled a QB. Happy to have him though, and hope he is better than the last #1 kicker we got.
