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

[Tennessee Golfer]

Isn't he an EE?

He commits to us the day after Hurd wins the Heisman.

 

[GSU]

This guy just feels like OSU is where he'll end up. Ole Miss doing their thing and being the home state will keep them in it. He just basically says the same exact things about Tennessee and Georgia which leads me to think both are running third.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

I guess he'll be good for our ranking but I can't get too excited for him.

I just don't see a special RB in his tape.

Chandler looks more impressive.

I can't believe I'm actually asking your opinion BUT what do you think when comparing Coleman and Akers

Oh man....

Just curious considering ones a 5* and the other a 3* lol

Well D4H watches film and is much more knowledgeable than any recruiting service guys. See if the recruiting services agree with D4H, then they are legit and know what they are talking about. However if they disagree, then they are dumb and know nothing.

I don't think Coleman is anywhere near Akers. It shows in the film, it shows in the offers and it shows in the rankings. I am still shocked we allowed Coleman to commit this early but that tells you a lot about how desperate the staff must be at this point.

FSU pants. OSU hat. A bracelet? He could have at least put on a UT shirt. INB4 He Gone.

Yep. A bracelet is a dead giveaway for "he gone" status...

 

[NochNoch]

Yep. A bracket is a dead giveaway for "he gone" status...

A bracket?

Shouldn't you stick to TWSS?

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

I could probably take the sugarcoated approach.

Ya see he's been seen in FSU pants, and the OSU hat. He's not showing the UT shirt cause he's saving it for his commitment announcement! Woooo!

ChadSimmons_: 5-star RB Cam Akers had on #FSU pants earlier. Now has on #OhioSt hat and #Tennessee bracelet. #UGA tomorrow he said https://t.co/dr3yoTcgkR

That's a UT bracelet?

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

That's a UT bracelet?

Didn't look like it to me either. Maybe they meant he was sporting one earlier or something.

It seems so, autocorrect is killing me

Dude you really need to go get your anxiety meds prescription refilled.

More like he needs to get a job, girlfriend, or something to occupy his time.

Don't fall for it! Its a trap! Stick to recruiting. JMO

Coleman's tape looks better. Akers simply doesn't look as explosive on tape as he's timed at camps.

However, none of these backs (Coleman/Akers/Chandler) is elite.

We might have to wait until 2018 to find a true successor to Hurd and Kamara.

Cam Akers laughed when asked by 247Sports national director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong if that meant the Buckeyes were the team to beat, though.

“Oh, naw,” Akers told Wiltfong. “I don’t know who the team to beat would be right now. I wish I knew.”

This is good. We're going to pick up momentum with late-deciders like Akers after we crush teams like Virginia Tech and Florida on national TV, beat Bama in October and end up winning the SEC.

Very possible. I'd also imagine how OSU and FSU seasons turn out may come into play much the same way.
