So You Didn’t Make “TOP 12″… What Now?

March 6, 2014 By

For the past month or so, you have been watching the TOP 12 Kickers / Punters get chosen one by one.  Each time a selection was made, one person was ecstatic while countless others felt the opposite emotions. When the final TOP 12er was chosen and a balloon was popped for many 2015, 2016 and even some 2017 Kickers / Punters. Now what?

Couple ways to look at it….

You can be upset with me for not selecting you. You can be upset with yourself for not performing when it counted. You can even find a way to blame others, but, it is ultimately on you. The only thing you can control is how hard and smart you work. Everyone in Vegas is competing for the same spots. Don’t let anybody outwork you and you will see different results.

You need to use this as motivation to make sure you perform better. This is all up to you. The choice is yours.

If you are a Kicker / Punter that strives to be the best, you want to be at that “TOP 12” camp this summer. Any single athlete that has been there (scholarship Kickers / Punters, All-Americans, NFL players) will tell you it is, by far, the best camp they have ever been to in their life. What you need to do is get back on the horse. Work smarter and harder. Your opportunity is waiting for you in May at the Spring Event in Las Vegas.

At the Spring Event, I choose the “EVENT ELITE”. The “EVENT ELITE” is the best of the best from Vegas in May. They join the “TOP 12” to form the “TOP 12” and “EVENT ELITE” Invite Only Camp on June 18-20, 2014 in Los Angeles. There is no set number for the “EVENT ELITE”. I could choose one K/P or I can choose 30. It all depends on the talent. I don’t choose just to choose. It would make me look ignorant in the end. If I say you belong at that camp, you are one of the best in the world. This is a true invite only camp. I do NOT just hand out invites to get people to come to it. That would give me no credibility. I choose the best because they are the best. They will represent the “TOP 12”, “ EVENT ELITE” and Chris Sailer Kicking the best in the future.

Are you one of them? Time to decide. Prove to me, and the rest of the world, that you belong.

Or don’t.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS…..

Chris Sailer Kicking specialists continued a huge month of June with two more big time offers coming in for “Event Elite” Members.  Tristan Vizcaino (2014 CA) picked up an offer from Washington State and Austin McGehee picked up an offer from Purdue this week.  Both Tristan and Austin are longtime CSK students that excel at both the kicking and punting positions.

This caps off a huge month of June that saw well over a dozen specialists receive and/or commit to big time offers.  This is just the start.  Recruiting will continue to pick up in July.  Expect many many more to follow in their footsteps.  The “TOP 12” & “Event Elite” Camp as well as the Underclassmen “Invite Only” Event will pump exposure to every college coach in America.  Welcome to #TeamSailer

Day 2 – “TOP 12” Camp Recap

June 22, 2013 By

Day 2 of the “TOP 12” Camp has come and gone.  To say that I was impressed would be the understatement of the year.  The best of the best in the nation this year just might be the best that we have seen in years.  The talent and potential is similar, but the character, work ethic, and confidence sets this group apart.  There are dozens of future Saturday Stars and more than a handful of future Sunday Stars.

The focus today was kickoffs and punting.  Alabama commit JK Scott (2014 CO) hit the biggest kickoff of the day, measuring 80 yards with 4.35 second hang time. In the end, Kenny Smart proved to be the most consistent and came out as champion.  Kenny averaged 70 plus yards and over 4.0 second hang time.  Also impressive were Freeman Jones (2014 NC), Hunter Morrow (2014 TX), Logan Cooke (2014 MS), Hayden Lekacz (2014 IL), Mike Knoll (2014 OH), James Sherman (2014 AL) and Jameson Vegas (2015 GA) just to name a few.  The future looks bright for college football.

This punting group might just be the most talented that I have ever seen assembled in one location.  Several different punters won competitions.  Alex Boy (2014 JC CA) came out on top during the most pressure filled situation.  JK Scott was once again the overall most impressive hitting some huge punts including a 50 yard, 5.34 hang time punt.  Others that impressed were Corbin Daly (2014 NC), Logan Cooke (2014 MS), Marc Nolan (2014 GA), Brett Beighton (2014 JC CA), Dylan Seibert (2014 OK JC), Manuel Meza (2014 JC CA), and Matt Stewart (2014 CA) just to name a few.

After a film review session, the afternoon was geared towards a light and fun atmosphere for the participants to get to know each other better.  The traditional belly flop contest kicked things off.  For the first time in 10 years the kickers/punters defeated the long snappers thanks to a truly inspiring performance by James Sherman.  We then headed to Universal Studios City walk for dinner and a movie.  The “TOP 12” camp concludes tomorrow with media day and head to head competitions. Stay tuned for updates.

Day 1 – “TOP 12” Camp Recap

June 21, 2013 By

After a year of hard work and hours upon hours of preparation the “TOP 12” & “Event Elite” camp is finally here.  The very best of the best from across the United States have gathered in Los Angeles, CA to enjoy what is widely known as the best kicking, punting, and long snapping camp of the year.  These athletes were selected by attending the 2 huge National Kicking Events in Las Vegas in either January or May.  The talent is beyond top notch and the competition is cut throat.  13 participants have already received D1A full scholarship offers.  The rest in attendance are chasing that same dream and with the results of this weekend will make that dream a reality.

Tyler Newsome kicked off the day in true “TOP 12” camp tradition by committing to Notre Dame.  On the field, the focus of Day 1 was on field goals.  The intensity was high and the nerves were more than present.  After a brief warm up, the competition was on.  John Duvic (2014 IL) was the Last Man Standing Champion.  He narrowly defeated Kyle Pfau (2014 TX) winning it on a 60-yarder that he cleared with ease.  In competition #2 North Carolina commit Freeman Jones (2014 NC) proved to be the most accurate.  He got the best of Boston College commit Mike Knoll (2014 OH) & Kenny Smart (2014 CA) in the finals.

Other commits/offered Kickers/Punters in attendance: JK Scott (Alabama), Gary Wunderlich (Virginia), Freeman Jones (North Carolina), Corbin Daly (Texas), Mike Knoll (Boston College), Logan Cooke (Mississippi State), Alex Spence (Clemson), Rafael Gaglianone (NC State Offer), Michael Santamaria (Virginia Tech Offer), Yanni Routsas (Air Force Offer).

Who will be offered next?  The next 2 days will tell.  Stay tuned for Day 2 and Day 3 updates and other recruiting news.  Visit www.ChrisSailerKicking.com for daily ranking updates and more information.

Chris Sailer Kicking “TOP 12” K/P Logan Cooke Commits to Mississippi State!

June 13, 2013 By

Longtime Chris Sailer Kicking student and “TOP 12” Member Punter/Kicker Logan Cooke has committed to Mississippi State.  He chose Mississippi state over an offer from Louisiana Monroe.  The highlight recruited Combo Player has always had Mississippi State listed as his dream school, so when they offered he had no hesitation when it came to committing.

Logan is a big time talent.  He has attended multiple Chris Sailer Kicking camps and has impressed since day 1.  Each time he progresses at lighting rate.  Although I see him as a Punter / Kickoff guy, he also has huge field goal ability.  Overall, he is one of the very best prospects in the nation without a doubt.  I expect him to have a huge college career.  Well deserved!

JK Scott Commits to Alabama

June 12, 2013 By

In January of 2013 JK Scott received the #1 Punter Ranking in the nation according to Chris Sailer Kicking. He also cracked the top 10 as a kicker and was named to the prestigious “TOP 12”.  It didn’t take long for colleges to take notice.  Colorado was the first to offer and nearly every college in the country showed interest.  Colleges couldn’t wait to get him on campus to see his skills and make an offer.

This past weekend JK Scott attended the Alabama Specialist camp where Chris Sailer was on hand to help run the camp.  It kicked off what would be a very wild weekend for JK.  He received offers from Notre Dame, Arizona, and Alabama to go along with the Colorado offer.  It is fitting that the Chris Sailer Kicking #1 Punter chose the back-to-back #1 team in the nation….Alabama.  JK committed to Alabama.

Chris Sailer Kicking “TOP 12” Member Mike Knoll has committed to Boston College!

June 4, 2013 By

Chris Sailer Kicking 2-Time “TOP 12” Member Mike Knoll has committed to Boston College.  He has chosen Boston College over offers from Purdue, Miami (OH), Toledo, and Air Force.  Boston College has always been a top choice of his and during his visit, he felt like it was just the place for him to be!
Mike has been a Chris Sailer Kicking student for many years.  He is a Top 10 nationally rated kicker and Top 10 nationally rated punter, making him one of the most sought after combo prospects in the nation.  He trains privately with Chris Sailer Kicking Staff Member Chris Nendick in Chicago.  He made “Event Elite” as a sophomore last May in Las Vegas and followed that up by making the “TOP 12” as a junior this past January in Las Vegas.  Mike has all the tools to be a dominating player at the next level.

Mike is a loyal Chris Sailer Kicking student who will soon be a CSK Staff Member.  Look for Mike to continue to work hard this summer (he will next attend the “TOP 12′” later this month) and enjoy a great senior season.  Congratulations to Mike and his family from Chris Sailer Kicking.

CSK “TOP 12” Kicker / Punter Aaron Medley Commits to Tennessee

May 22, 2013 By

Chris Sailer Kicking “TOP 12” Member and top national national kicking and punting prospect Aaron Medley has committed to Tennessee.  Aaron decided to stay in his home state choosing the Volunteers over Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Aaron is an incredible talent.  A Chris Sailer Kicking student since 2011, he has proven himself time and time again.  His recent “TOP 12” selection and great camp performances vaulted him onto the recruiting scene.  After his senior year he will join dozens of Chris Sailer Kicking specialists in the SEC.  I expect Aaron to be a great college player contributing in all areas.  Aaron is a fine young man who should be a future Chris Sailer Kicking Staff Member.

Congratulations.  Who is next?  Stay tuned…..
