Re: 2016 (JUCO) PK commit - Eddie Pineiro (viral video)

Just wait till Bobby gets ahold of him. He'll be hooking extra points and kicking off to the 20 yard line.
You really think Bobby shows the place kickers how to kick?

They work with their own specialists. It just boggles my mind to see people who've been around here for a while, make that sort of comment.

Anyone can kick a 70 yard field goal. But show me a 71 yard field goal kicker, and I'm interested.

These videos are cool to see and show off his power, but until I see the young man making important kicks in a game.... I will stick to the thought of "Ill believe it when I see it.

Its like the Texas kicker that had the video of him making a fg kick backwards. Then that weekend he misses an extra point.

The videos get you excited, but in my opinion not very realistic.

Eddie visited FLA this weekend and said he had a great time and the atmosphere was nuts. He said it was his first visit where the stadium was packed out and was electric. He has yet to visit Bama on game day. Appears we will have some competition with FLA for his signature.

It should be a great place to visit at this time. They finally have a competitive team and much to celebrate.

That was an unofficial visit. It's been his only visit so far this fall. He said he will be going to Tuscaloosa soon. Mac could steal him, but I have faith in CNS and Coach Cristobal.

Eddy Pineiro does not have to worry about playing time if he signs with Alabama. If he signs his LOI with Alabama he is our starting PK from that moment.

Goodness..He looks like he's ready for the NFL right now with that kinda leg power..I'm not sure any NFL kickers has a stronger leg than Eddy to be honest..That's 76yrds off the ground..Unreal
Dude looks like he could turn a 3-and-out into a 3-and-3.

70+ yards is amazing. Does anyone have any info on his in-game stats (longest FG made, avg. distance, percentage)?

Even taking a reality pill, that's still amazing.

Look, he's kicking with no rush, and all the time he wants to set the ball and himself up exactly where he wants, how he wants. Then he kicks it taking his own time.

Still, it's off the ground, and it is 70 yards. Take 25% off to allow for the ideal circumstances, and you still have 52.5 yards. That adds a dimension we haven't had in a while.

I know Alabama had one guy who kicked a 60 yarder in a game, in high school. I don't know if he ever kicked one for Alabama. Having said that, I certainly hope Eddy works out and that leg sure is impressive.

Just saw Eddy say on twitter that he's flying to Gainesville...

Did a bit of digging, and apparently Eddy said this after having had visited Gainesville in early October:

“I mean Florida after today has definitely gone up in my recruiting process. So let’s see what happens this season.”


Anyone with insight into our recruitment of him know whether this is anything to worry about?
