Kicker JJ McGrath announces decision date and top 3

Lutheran-North Macomb Kicker JJ McGrath visited Michigan today and came away impressed. The 6'3, 230 pound kicker was offered a preferred walk on spot at the end of his visit. McGrath has a powerful leg as many of his kickoffs resulted in a touchback, and he also connected on a 52 yards field goal, which is the 8th longest field goal in State history. I think McGrath would be a great get at the preferred walk on spot, and it sounds like he can earn a scholarship once Gibbons' career with Michigan is over. McGrath named a top 3 of Michigan, LSU and Southern Miss (in no order) and stated he will announce his decision on Friday.

to get used to a competent (or better) licking game.  We are certainly headed in that direction.

Straight (and long) are generally desired characteristics of a kicker or a golfer.  Unless your slice is so predictable that you can aim it at the rough/trees and have it end up in the middle of the fairway.

Our kick coverage was weak. I doubt we'll have 3 kickers on schollies in the future but we could have him and Kenny on schollie in a couple of years.

Soonest is 2014 after Gibbons grauates. Especially with a long-snapper using another schollie starting next summer.

watch a few games with Gibbons under RR?  I can name one game in particular.  The 2010 Illinois game comes to mind.  Hell MGrowOld with Brian holding could have kicked better in that game.
