We don't need the Nia or the Pinta...cause we've got the Santamaria!
Take that, Columbus!
That would be the "Nina" with a tilde over the second "n". Can't seem to copy and paste the correct character from my Spanish keyboard option. The ship was actually named the Santa Clara. Sorry, bi-lingual history buff living in Central America here. I'll go back to watching endless soccer (futbol) matches until real football arrives on Aug 31st. #beatbama
Great news on getting a new kicker in the fold though, hope he has a cannon for a leg.
We have Central American bi-lingual history buffs on TKP! Who knew! I love this place, man!
I'm willing to bet damn near everything is on here this site has gotten big!!!!
...... Well... I still thought it was funny.
Pretty funny...I actually typed Nia (even using the specialty keyboard to get the Spanish alphabet). But stupid iPhone autocorrect changed it.
You can't win.
Like marriage.
Chrissailerkicking.com has Santamaria listed as a 5 star recruit. He's the Kendall Fuller of the 2014 class.
The rankings they use are different than the rankings for 247, rivals, etc. A 5* prospect on their site is someone expected to go D1, 4*-D2, 3*-D3.
Rankings that actually mean something? What black magic is this?
Scholarship?
Love to see the commitment list get larger each day. Really looking forward to seeing how the rest of the weekend pans out. All I ask is for Santamaria to stay away from pepper spray
Not knowing anything about kickers/talent, but I am happy that the staff is saving me from the every other year spring practice cringe of who will back into the kicker spot.......
Welcome to the Hokie Nation!
Tried to find ratings on the big 4, and nothing. Saw that he is buds with the #2 long snapper Alan Lucy, also no big 4 ratings...
With a name like Santamaria, I sure hope he's a kicker. Or, yeah, a boat.
For anyone interested:
Sure is windy in Georgia.
From that video, he has a cannon for a leg. Hopefully with this, we can #revivebeamerball
Watched some highlights on another site (I think through Bitter's twitter)....he booted several 40+ yd field goals, and if my eyes weren't deceiving me, I think it said "off the ground kicking" at the start of the video....for high school, this is a little unusual, since many high school leagues allow kickers to use a block. Kickoffs (from the 40) were routinely going to the goal line or into the end zone. Get him into the strength program, he'll be booting them out of the end zone for us and putting up 50 yd field goals (which I sincerely hope we never have to utilize, with the new offense).
Being able to hit 50 yard field goals would be huge because the offense only has to get around the 35 to be in field goal range. So while it's a huge disappointment for the offense to get inside the 20 and settling for a field goal, it's a great weapon to have to only have to make it to the 30 and be able to come away with points.
Santamaria, Welcome aboard!
I'm glad to see we're recruiting strong players for special teams. This kid looks strong already and he's got a ton of potential. Welcome to Hokie Nation, Michael!
I don't practice Santamaria
I ain't got no crystal ball
But if you put him on the football field, he'll...
He'll kick the ball
if london knows whats best for him
he best go run and hide
micheal's gonna kick a 45 (yarder)
and he wont think twice
to stick that ball right between the uprights
believe me when i say
london better find a better use for those timeouts!
I really wish I could continue this, but my filking skills are quite lacking.
Anyways, +1 to you both.
Dancing Beamer Approves
mike london will be fired long before this kid gets on the field.
maybe he could be a cop....i hear he has experience....
Frank Beamer upon signing Santamaria: "BOOM"
I feel like he's going to be wasting that leg only kicking extra points...
Either way, welcome to the Nation!
