Is Jai Patel the best kicker to ever play at RU?
- Thread starter RU Cheese

I’ll take the Judge still at this point.
McAtnemy is. Serious. It appears we finally found a kicker who kicks it out of the end xone. No return. Thank you!
Judge is the grand champion until Jai hits one with the biggest possible stakes on the line.
I was worried last week with the miss when the announcers said his career long in high school was only 38. He was great today though. Not worried at all anymore.
Not for nothing but don’t forget he missed it first… just sayin.
Patel is good. Last week I thought our FG kicking was a weakness, I don't think that anymore.
Because they were coming over the line way early.....hence why he got a second chance.
You didn't watch the game? Penalty on L'Ville and that early jump is most likely why he didnt get it clean. But nice try.
But, very happy with entire group of kickers so far, punter is Korsak lite, KO's all through the endzone and of course Patel.
Of course I know there was an offside. If you say that caused him to hook it , so be it.. I’m not convinced. But hey, it’s done. We won.
Harris snapped ball early because he knew kid was offside vs Louisville.
For his era he was solid but kickers are so much better today. I was surprised when I looked up his stats just now to see how low he is on the leader board.
Sad that he passed away a few years ago.
For serious, I think it was Federico. What I want in a college kicker is one who's money from sub 40, and at least have a chance after that. Had the misfortune to be here as things were going downhill.
So far, pretty impressive start from Patel though. That miss last week was on the wide hashmark.

Massive first assist to the place holder. Our snapper has been, well let's say not all that solid. I'm missing Taylor so far this year.
I heard them say that last week also but in today's APP on Jai it states "His strong right leg is a good advertisement. At South Brunswick High, Patel set a school record with 22 field goals, made all 78 of his extra points and earned all-state honors. He connected on field goals of 40-plus yards as a sophomore, junior and senior, with a long of 44."
They snapped the ball early because of the offside. Ito had not signaled he was ready yet. He rushed the kick.
Some people do not understand football and go by what they read somewhere..,
There were even multiple articles of Harris saying he was coached to snap the ball as soon as he sees someone step into the neutral zone to get the penalty.
We have outstanding diversity. Arguably three of the best - and maybe the best when all is said and done - are all of Asian heritage. The Judge, Iced Te, and Patel (needs a Chris Bergman-esque nickname).
Hell no - made a fortune long snapping and now the next RU NFL long snapper - DePaola just got the biggest long snapping contract ever from the Vikings
Wait, I’m seeing a 1.9MM 2yr contract. Didn’t Harris make north of 1MM per yr?
We need a larger body of work before people can annoint Patel as our best kicker ever. The jury is still out.
