Lack of decent Kicking Recruits ????

There doesn't seem to be any decent Kicker or Punter recruits in the game. All seem to be either 1 or 2 stars. Anyone else see this ?

Yea, its pretty much what its like in real life to. Looking at rivals there weren't any 5 or 4 star kickers last year. I don't have a problem with it because its more realistic then having a bunch of 5 and 4 star kickers.

A couple real life coaches don't even recruit kickers unless they find a Sebastian Janikowski type.

Exactly. You can usually pick up a quality kicker at the college level by just asking the top kicker in the area to walk on.

In the past, I've found that to be the case. I had to take a 1-star guy just because I couldn't find anyone better. His ratings were bad coming in, but was all ACC by his sophomore year. It's nothign to sweat.

Interesting. I first panicked because my K and P are seniors.
