His twitter is plastered in Ms State stuff. After seeing that, I hope he stays.

As long as Boniol stays, I think he sticks with MSU (based on nothing but my own speculation and possibly a comment made by Paul on 247, I can't remember)

He would possibly be the best kicker we’ve ever had. Earlier this season he kicked a 62 yard field goal and an 84 yard punt in the same game. And he doesn’t use a block tee to kick like the majority of high school kickers do. He kicks off the ground, so there won’t be any adjustment to kicking in college in that regard.

What is his accuracy rate? That is much more important to me than distance. Its not that common that 50+ yard FGs are even attempted.

Saw mullen visited him as well. He still commotted to us?

as of now, yes.

 

[deadheaddawg]

Any update on him. Are we going to be able to keep him?

 

[dickiedawg]

The tea leaves suggest not.

Some of the recruiting writing writers are saying he flips. Including State guys.

Not a huge loss. It would be hard to take Christmann’s job for the next 3 years anyway. McPherson probably took notice at how well the freshman did this year.

Our real worry is punter. Who is expected to fill that role this fall?

I think Tucker Day will handle that role next year.

The number 1 punter recruit in the nation from 2017, Tucker Day!!

After all the pathetic place kicking we saw for much of the Mullen tenure, it would be fitting that this kid follows DM to Gainesville...

Does he realize mullens would screw him up.

Chrissman is the best field goal kicker we've had in a looong time. He just doesn't miss unless it's outside a normal range. Can't remember his name (seems like he was an engineering major), but the guy who missed the FG against Arkansas on a sloppy field to send us to Shreveport instead of Atlanta was the most recent best that I can remember.

 

[maroonthruandthru]

He’s gone!

McPherson was great in camps but little better than 50% over the last two years in games. I didn’t see anything weak with Jace’s kicks. His longer kicks looked like they cleared with plenty of distance. Day was not so great on field goals but his distance and hang time on kickoffs was fine and punts superb.

 

[rebsgoingdown]

This and the fact that apparently recruiting has now become so important to him..

 

[FlotownDawg]

Christman was money from inside 45 yards but that seemed to be his range. He only attempted one FG longer than 45 yards and missed it. We usually would go for it on fourth down unless we was inside the 30 yard line. We really need a kicker who can hit long field goals when called upon. Somebody posted not too long ago that we haven’t made a 50+ yard field goal since 2003. That’s why I was excited to get McPherson. His ability to hit the long field goals. But I’ll be happy with making ones from 45 yards and in. Maybe Day can try the longer ones outside of Christman’s range.

 

[aTotal360]

He just flipped to Dale Mullison.

 

[patdog]

Money inside the 45 is all you need from a kicker. I'll take that all day long over a guy that can hit the occasional 50 yard FG.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Can't blame him given Mullen's outstanding history of developing kickers

 

[HumpDawgy]

but........can he run the read option?

 

[She Mate Me]

Guy apparently hit 7 of 13 FG's in 2016. We'll see if this ends up being a loss we regret, but I'll take what we got rt now. Much rather have consistency than distance.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Slightly off topic, but has Christmann been given a scholarship yet? All year long, announcers referred to him as a walk-on. Surely he did enough to earn a scholarship. Especially since he'll be our starter again next season with McPherson's flip to Florida.
