"If you're a 247 member go check out what Barton just dropped off on the board retaining to Akers. You're going to like it #Vols"

Saw this on twitter. Anyone have that quote from Barton? What is he talking about?

Yeah. Basically we have some momentum and are probably one of the top 3. Some close to Akers are in favor of Vols

I believe it's in reference to something said in the article posted above.

The institutionalized, industrial cheating that's ingrained in Alabama culture from the ground up us what allows him to do what he does. Without 50-60 4-5* he is just another really good coach. You guys who have never spent a lot of time there just do not understand. It is not just Bama. Awburn and Bama hate each other, but it is mutually assured destruction that keeps things buried.

Having lives there I can confirm the hate... Churches literally do not let the other fanbase in... And I'm sure they both have enough dirt on each other to bury the opposition but if they do they'll go down also

My theory is he will commit at whichever AA game he is participating in, I think Army, and then EE. I also think we will be finalists with FSU and LSU (both of whom are losing stud RB's).

Problem with LSU is that LF's backup may be the best back in the country next year. Guice is ridiculous.

i get so tired of hearing people say this about Ole Miss. We get it. They're dirty. Until changes happen at the top, not a damn thing will ever be done.

Only makes what Saban is doing at Bama even that much more amazing in my eyes. Can't stand the troll, or that program. Everyone cheats IYAM, he'/ been able to play the game and set the bar for 15 years.

They are still in it bc yes, they are dirty and the one who wins Akers, wins the sweepstakes...

Why would a kid want to come play for UT? With all the talk about Jones being gone and broken promises? Just sayin, it works both ways

That's why you commit to a school and not a coach. Hell there is no guarantee any coach will be at the same school in 2 yrs. But Ole Miss is on the verge of getting hammered by the NCAA so I'm shocked anyone worth a damn would committ there right now

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

Chandler,Akers and Coleman would be one helluva RB class. Chandler most likely will be a 5* so that would be 2 in this class alone. Still don't think we get Akers but I'm holding out hope. If not Akers then Etienne would be my 2nd choice. But if we can somehow get 2 of the top 5 RB's in this class we will be set at RB for the next few yrs. We really need to add an elite, game changing top 5 WR. Still hurts losing Preston Williams but do understand him wanting to play in an offense where WR's get more touch's and get rewarded for all the blocking that is asked of them. But I do like Byrd, Callaway and Johnson to go with Malone and Jennings. Unfortunately to this point it's not one that has showcased WR skills but we will have a better passing QB next season so hopefully that helps.

Uhhhmmm Ok....I guarantee there will be sanctions of some kind, just a matter of to what degree it is.B it even if not for that for some reason Freeze can't get elite RB's or much production from ones he does have.

PW would have gotten touches here if he would just hold onto the ball.

If there are sanctions which I question they will be minor to non-existent and may not come to fruition until Akers has retired from the NFL.

Now knowing that, I agree Freeze cannot get much from his RBs. So yes Akers to UT all day and twice on Sunday.

Phillip Williams wanted to model. The passes that were thrown his way bounced off of him and his helmet
