'17 MS RB Cam Akers (FSU commit 12/27)

[Big Orange #1]

My understanding is that a coach is permitted one phone call per week. I do not think text messaging is limited and it does not prevent a player from contacting a coach. It is not permitted for a coach to visit a player.

Ole Miss says this is true but they say the bag man can visit anytime!!

A bit easier to do at non power 5 teams

It's not any easier if you are having to beat non-power 5 teams with non-power 5 talent of your own.

VOL LOCK! I feel it!

I find it interesting that 247 seems to believe FSU is going to be the choice, Brent Hubbs says FSU or Tennessee, Scout reps in Mississippi say that they have been hearing and still believe Ole Miss. Then there are the few people who claim sources that are all over the board as well.

My prediction - Nobody really knows what he is going to do. Probably the way Cam Akers wants it.

Cam Akers wants to be dressed in orange playing in the beautiful smokey mountains.....even if he doesn't know it!

Just got word from sources in the bakery business in MS that a cake has been ordered for some time now with a pick up date of 12/26/16.

 

[Jerdle]

Are coaches allowed to be in contact with him right now?

Players can initiate contact with coaches at any time..

as in they get a DM on twitter from CBJ that says "Call me." and then they call him up if they want to

with serious NCAA issues, I cant see how a kid like this can commit to them at this time. He could be left with 1) no teammates or 2) having to leave again in a couple of yrs

Ok. Just know that bakers are the best true source for HS Football recruiting information.

You are forced to believe it. There is a picture...of a cake...a UT cake. You've seen it with your own eyes now...on the interwebs.

RIGHT?!!? It's on the interwebs = straight troof

Such a weird recruitment. I don't think anyone can really be confident in what Akers does. He's more of a want though rather than a need. We need talent on the DL and in the secondary.

What is a dead period?
During a dead period a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents, and may not watch student-athletes compete or visit their high schools. Coaches may write and telephone student-athletes or their parents during a dead period.

There is never any justification of cheering your team to lose.

Totally agree. Even when Dooley was at his worst, I never hoped that we lost so that we could get rid of him quicker. You owe it to the players giving their all, and there are always some who always play their hearts out, to cheer and support them, irrespective of how inept their coaches may be.

Did you miss volatil's post where he guaranteed that Akers will be a Vol. Said Cam told him last night while they were eating hanging out together.

I just watched his senior highlights. I like this kid in our offense...

His balance, vision, and deceptive strength is solid. I only imagine what he'd be like at 225-230

I didn't realize they can still call and write...interesting. I bet Cam's phone is hotter than two rats consummating their marriage in a wool sock.

I think it's neat that volatil, Jr and Akers all go to the golden Corral together for midnight breakfast.
