Daniel is a 6'5 kicker with a huge leg, he went 10-10 at the Underclassman Challenge on FG and hit multiple 4.3 second hang-times, kicks well off the ground, will get better with more experience, seems to handle pressure very well and did well when put on stage, should draw top college offers, talent to be outstanding

Should CU have recruited a kicker for 2013 given the limited scholarships this year, the 2 kickers on scholarship, and the youth at the position (Oliver is a sophomore returning starter)?

no room, too bad.

No doubt he is a talented kicker, could win some games for Auburn.

That said with the combination of Oliver, the number of schollies we have tied up in kickers already, and the limited number of spots in this years class you don't take another one unless he is a Mason Crosby and as good as this kid is I don't think he is another Mason.
