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

[scvolfan7]

Mel Kiper has Kamara as late 4th or 5th round

Not sure where you are hearing 2nd or 1st round that is not realistic with such a deep rb class this year

Walter football has him in the second and Charlie Campbell has had him in the first before in his mock draft

Believe those posts from the Ole Miss guys are fake. They're trolling Vols fans and posting about it on their boards.

Perfect response

Hasnt Kamara already declared?

No. Would declare in early January if he does.

Just looked at both and they both had him in 2nd round.

I am unfamiliar with them but I think both are a reach. Kiper said 4th or 5th. If he goes 2nd round then good for him, but I just do not think he will go that high.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Kamara is a first 2 round talent imo. Only reason he may go lower is because he was criminally underutilized here

 

[onevol74]

If we were to land Akers then I take back all the negative shiz I've been thinking about CBJ.... Which is a lot.

I am with you and would add half of the crap I said about Hillary.

He is getting a 4-5 round grade from Kiper. Thats not definite but it could be enough to convince him to stay. This draft class is deep. I really think if Kamara stayed and had a Hurd like 2015 season, he could easily be a 1-2 round pick.

Huh? Don't go crazy. All that crap you said about Hitlery was legit....don't go wobbly.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Ha, hope they are as happy when they are on probation with bowl bans, if they make a bowl...ole miss football is headed downhill

Do you honestly believe its going to be that bad?

Do you honestly believe its gling to be that bad?

It will be IMO

Keep that up, Ron, and I am sending the bill for the white cane and the seeing eye dog to you.

Got to think Will Ignots tweet was either about this kid or Ray.
Big time commit. I believe is what Ignot tweeted.
Also it is interesting that for whatever reason the so called experts have not put a lot of stock into UT being in the race even though he took a two day unofficial to Knoxville, and has a great relationship w/ Coach G. Don't forget Coach G is from MS too and is probably our best recruiter. He did snatch Kelly out of Michigan.

If he took a two day unofficial visit here, I see no reason not to believe we lead or at top.

Plus not only did Ignot say big time commit coming soon, but Alontae Taylor said make that two big time commits coming soon.

Heck no, but one can hope

Plus not only did Ignot say big time commit coming soon, but someone else did too, I will go back to see who it was.

Taylor

Hope so

Taylor

Thanks, fixed it. :hi:

AK is getting second and some first round buzz. He's gone

I saw in another thread earlier that Kiper (Edit: kiper, not mcshay) put him around a 4-5 round I think it was. I figured he would go second or third but I think either way he might be gone. RB have a short shelf life. Get money while you can.

Local sports media isn't too concerned

Ole Miss trolling + a fairy dust sprinkling = a Tennessee commitment

It's not rocket science.

Let them troll. They had a terrible season and have a terrible recruiting class, and it would still be terrible even if they landed Akers.

 

[B-Stizzy]

If you got to choose...would you rather AK return next year or get Akers?

Akers imo...we likely aren't competing for anything next year so might as well build for future

That's tough, but I would take Akers for three years over Kamara for one. Kelly will do well carrying the load, and between CFA, Chandler, and Akers, we would have great depth.

I saw in another thread earlier that McShay put him around a 4-5 round I think it was. I figured he would go second or third but I think either way he might be gone. RB have a short shelf life. Get money while you can.

Not saying he could not go first two rounds, but NFL teams do not value the RB like they used to.

In my opinion unless it is a once every 10 year RB, I value the OL more. I feel you can make an average RB look good/great with great OL, but a great RB can look average or worse depending on the OL.
