Scout gets around to ranking Matt Wile
Edit: Sorry, this has already been posted.
As of recently, Scout had K Commit Matt WIle as an NR. Turns out, they think we got ourselves a pretty darn good kicker.

That's right. The number FOUR kicker in the nation. One of only 9 to get that coveted third star.
Rivals still has him at a 2 star, 5.3, and ESPN still logs him as a 74, but it looks like Scout has made a much more recent update.
That should push us nicely ahead of certain folks in East Lansing. I know it's just recruiting, but any time we can beat Sparty...

With the board all messed up, I guess I missed it. I'm on enough I figured I'd have seen it.
*Flagellates self* ALWAYS SEARCH. ALWAYS SEARCH.

Like that only just me and I don't speak any Latin.

I was going say, I could have only known this before because someone posted this already. But its never bad to hear good news twice!

Is your forum name the reference to Wall Street that I hope it is? I thought about doing something with Blue Star Airlines for mine.

Blue Horseshoe loves Annicott Steel.

I can sleep more soundly, thanks to this news.

Of course

i won't have to close my eyes and pray every time Hoke sends out Wile to kick field goals!
Tits!!

I am right there in hoping with you, but that is it, just hope. Kickers are an odd breed, just look at the NFL, the elite of the elite end up going into a funk and getting cut or not re-signed only to sign on with another team and become elite again. Bottom line, kickers are about as sure thing as not getting herpes from a $20 hooker...you just never know.

#9 kicker on Rivals, and #11 on Scout (3*). Hopefully, he can calm down in games and actually make a FG.

Rodriguez was always quoted as saying they were doing "much better" in practice than they were in games. I wonder what he was saying to them before they went in to kick.
"Okay, Brandon. I have faith in you. You're gonna get in there and kick that field goal. You can do it! And uh... just so you know, if you don't, I have located the graves of your childhood pets, and I am prepared to desecrate them in horrible, horrible ways."

I thought it was "Brendan"

Does it really matter when we're talking about the likely third-string forget-about-it kicker?
January 31st, 2011 at 9:39 PM ^
He's been practicing kicking off the turf. No more (hopefully) unpleasant surprises with our scholarship kickers.
January 31st, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
I like that his highlight includes his misses. Just goes to show those weren't picked out special. He really was making all of those. BEAUTIFUL!
Looks nothing, NOTHING like last year. I was at the spring game, and I remember just marveling at how.... ugh. It didn't get any better.

I don't mean to be overly critical (I certainly hope that Matt turns out to be a superb college kicker), but it probably should be noted that high school goal posts are about 5 feet wider than college goal posts. So a few of the closer ones on the video might have been misses in college. Not to worry. I'm sure the supportive screams of over 100,000 fans will help quide all his future kicks straight through the middle.

Looks a little light for a defensive tackle.
January 31st, 2011 at 11:49 PM ^
A defensive what now?
January 31st, 2011 at 9:54 PM ^
thanks for posting op, i hadnt seen this yet.
January 31st, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
I can't help it. I immediately read everything you post in Raaandy's voice. It makes me laugh.
January 31st, 2011 at 10:41 PM ^
The next successful field goal kicker here is going to get laid so hardcore.
January 31st, 2011 at 10:53 PM ^
mean that I dont have to do a palm plant? I can actually watch an attempted FG again? Aaaahhh just like the good ole days with Rivas.
