Re: ********Cade Foster commits to Bama********

YEA! Welcome aboard Cade. We need all the kicking help we can get..

 

[LCN]

BiB , thanks for the starter Welcome aboard , Cade :BigA:

I was pretty hopeful Foster would pull the trigger for the Tide . I just couldn't see Bama finishing 2nd to Washington . Smart kid

Very nice. Welcome aboard Cade:BigA:

 

[Airborne Tider]

Welcome aboard Cade. Roll Tide! :BigA::BigA:

 

[tidepreacher]

Welcome to the Capstone Cade! Stay healthy and focused this upcoming year. Can't wait to see you in crimson soon. RTR!

 

[runtheoption22]

Several big schools are close to offering this kid. I'm glad we offered early. While the last one didn't quite work out, this scholarshipped kicker is very impressive.

 

[liquidvengeance]

Rock On RTR!

 

[Tider@GW_Law]

This is definitely one I was hoping for. I wonder if that invited walk-on kicker is still set on Bama?

 

[WMack4Bama]

:biggrin: WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! He's a kicker AND a Middle Linebacker. This should help field position IMMEDIATELY. He's a BIG BOY and clearly not afraid to mix it up. I'm Very Very impressed

[Tider@GW_Law]

Lane Bearden reincarnate.

. . . to start at LB for a high school like Southlake Carroll and be an incredible kicker is pretty unbelievable.

 

[Airborne Tider]

Cade is extremely talented. He was actually being recruited by some schools, including Colorado, as a LB.

 

[SimCastilleFan3]

Impressive.........

Welcome aboard, Cade. We've got a quality kicker. Can he also punt? Because if he's not used to we've got to get a punter as well.


I never understood Mike Shula's philosophy about not offering scholarships to kickers/punters. Everyone had to walk on. However the starters automatically earned the scholarship. So, in the end we were in the situation where we had a bunch of crappy kickers with one of those on a scholly (someone had to win the starting job). A reasonable question: why not offer? At least we would have one of the best kickers in the country on a scholarship and a bunch of crappy walk on kickers to give some depth. For the same price (one scholarship), we would have a better starting kicker. Or is there something that I'm missing here?

WOW!!!
I've never been excited about a kicker before!!!! Coach and staff are just hell on wheels!!!! If your on the kick-off squad how could you not get cranked up to attack to ball carrier with a kicker that will try to get there and make the hit before you will!!!:eek2:

 

[p'colabamaman]

Wow, did y'all see the build on this kid in the video? Like a brick porta-potty!!
Different articles had different heights for him, from 5'11" to 6'2". Anybody have a clue as to what's correct?
Tickled crimson to have you on board!!

Agreed; This the kicker that is built like a linebacker and he is pretty impressive kicking the ball. Hopefully, he is the answer to our kicking inconsistencies.

Welcome Cade.

:BigA: Roll Tide!

 

[Bama323]

Holy Cow! Our opponent's kick returners better hope they don't break past our kickoff coverage, lol. :biggrin:

 

[CrimsonBleedRed]

Didn't Cade Foster go to the same high school as Greg McElroy?

 

[crmsnrevelation]

um to be safe... nevermind
