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

[BigOrangeD]

I saw where Harris the top RB committed to bama is getting CBs to Michigan. If that happens, I'm curious if Akers takes another look there.

Can never count Bama out. Also closer to home.

I think he decommitted from Bama to I would say they are out. Id say its between UT and LSU.

Interesting that you make that assumption one day after Jacoby Stevens, who decommitted from LSU, committed again to LSU.

 

[Tuckervol1003]

I don't think he's going to commit until NSD myself. Could come before but I think he holds out. Especially if he has official visits left for schools. I think he wants to catch a few games of his main schools of interest.

His plan is to commit and enroll in December since he is a midterm enrollee. He will take his official visits to games and in early December.

It is rare for kids to to that, in before Kongbo.

Josh Newburg with the CB to FSU.

Didn't Jacoby decommit from LSU?

Akers was committed to Bama.

reg or crunchberries?

Peanut Butter. There is no alternative!

What? We're talking about Akers here! AKERS!

 

[Catbone]

Stevens committed to LSU, de-committed, then re-commited. Akers committed to Bama, de-committed, and could possibly re-commit.

Thank you.. Some have a hard time with analogy..

Newberg is a giant FSU homer. Akers may end up there but I take anything he says with a grain of salt.

...and I stated earlier that a recommit is rare. Some have a hard time reading.

I'm sure a lot of the guys making a prediction are homers to some school. I'm not sure being a homer influences their decisions much. I mean I doubt they just CB everyone to their preferred school because their % and days right would plummet. I'd guess most at least try to be objective and take the homer votes out of it to boost their ranking.

I read what you said after I posted. Sue me, I ate lunch and missed it.. Jesus people get touchy about this 'cruitin stuff..

And bt the way, I agree, the recommit is rare, but it happens... .

Im holding out on any big time recruits we have been in on and their "decisions" until we play about 8-10 games. This is a very what have you done for me lately society we're in and we have a chance to really make some noise and swing some guys in our favor in the next few months. Gotta show results and production and be one of the "it" teams now that we cant promise instant playing time anymore.(though in akers situation we can probably promise that as well with hurd and kamara having possible and probable early exits)

That's what the definition of homer is. When as a recruiting analyst, they predict a player to go to the school they write for and then they end up wrong. Like how Newberg predicted Kongbo to FSU and the Auburn 247 people predicted they would get Warrior.

But are they always wrong? I mean Akers did just visit FSU. Maybe Newberg had reason to make the prediction? I'm just saying it wouldn't really benefit them in any way to be a homer and predict every recruit is going to their school. Their prediction ranking would be a disaster.

Did I say it was possible that Akers might still end up in Tallahassee?

It's definitely possible.

60% of the time Newberg is right every time.

The whole world thought Les was getting fired at the time he withdrew his commitment. Also, the DC left.

Green drink (liquid salad) and a bag of fritos. Everything a growing boy needs... Haa!
