Why are y'all freaking out about Cam Akers?!??! When was the last time we didn't get a guy we wanted from Clinton???!?! Freaking out about a 2017 croot?!?! ***********

In all seriousness tho, I like where we sit with both of them currently. Will be interesting to see if they choose to go different places since I'm pretty sure both will be 5 Star RB's in that class. Don't often see two stud RB's from the same class go to the same school

Anyone know what type of offenses that Clinton and Columbus run? Do either run the ball out of the shotgun?

Just called us and OM even after they offered him at their camp Saturday. We need to go ahead and offer a couple of his borderline D1 teammates so we can improve our chances of actually being decent at the RB position in the future and so we can recruit like OM****

He and Akers are both coming to MSU until further notice IMO. I think Akers is playing the game right now, but the choice will be obvious in the end. Dear, Shumpert, etc -- all considered far from locks for MSU early in their recruitments.

This is a Columbus kid who probably grew up a State fan...

Based on my experience, if he's from Columbus, he's probably an Alabama fan.

Columbus is pretty close to a 50/50 split

Kylin will be at MSU.

Aren't they both projected as RB's? Both 4-5 star guys? You think they would both sign with the same school?

Woukd be nice. I thought I saw where Akers may also potentially get a shot at LB at the next level. Seems that would improve the chances of them going to the same school.

No clue where their heads are at, but I'm not sure this is as much of an issue anymore. RB has mostly become a committee position at major colleges and the pros. You can get as much or more publicity as part of a blue-chip, 1-2 punch as you will being the clear leader at your position at your school. And you also get the advantage of going against defenders that are worn out by having to stop two elite running backs. And for those with pro aspirations, they get to limit the wear and tear on your body while still getting basically the same opportunity to show out.

Yes they both are projected as RB but Akers is an all around athlete similar to Malik Dear. It's a long way until Feb 2017 but I don't think we lead now. I have very little doubt on Kylin but Cam is going to be a tough battle. I've gone on record as saying Kylin will be the best player in MS after his Sr season.

Good points

Kylin will be at MSU. Akers is going to be a huge battle to keep him instate.

kylin gonna be a dog. I next door to his uncle, everything in Columbus Ms HAILSTATE

[messageboardsuperhero]

CHS is predominantly MSU with Alabama #2 and UM a fairly distant #3.

If Yeldon/Henry, Ingram/Richardson, Brown/Williams, Gurley/Chubb, McFadden/Jones/Hillis, etc. can play together, then just about anybody can.

[thedawg]

I would put Kylin at about 95%.. We would really have to screw it up to not get him.. Cam likes us and we may be able to pull him but it's hard to talk two five star guys into coming in the same class.. I predict Kylin commits early and we fight the good fight with cam and he goes out of state late.. I hope I am wrong

[Bothrops]

Pardon my ignorance but I thought Akers was a huge LSU fan. No?

Talk to me about Kylin Hill's stats. I realize it was only his sophomore season, but I saw that he only had like 300 yards or so compared to Akers close to 900

Does Columbus have kids ahead of him? Was he hurt?

This isn't meant to bash Hill or freak out about a 2017 recruit, just curious.

Talk to me about Kylin Hill's stats. I realize it was only his sophomore season, but I saw that he only had like 300 yards or so compared to Akers almost 3 times as many.

Just found this in an 247 article: Hill is coming off a solid sophomore season where he rushed for nearly 900

I think there is a chance, but it's way early in the process. Akers and Hill would be badass. Cam is more like an ATH to me that you can line up in the slot and use at RB while Hill is a great all around RB. Together, they would be scary.

I don't think we would limit Hill to just RB. I think by the time Hill gets in school his stature and skill set will be similar, yet more refined, to that of Malik Dear. He is only going into his Junior year of high school and is already probably over 210 pounds. I know he is listed as a RB but from the little bit of BDC that I saw, he looked like possibly the best receiver on the field. Even if he is used exclusively as a RB, we know that Mullen likes to split the RB out wide to open up the line of scrimmage for QB runs, in this case Hill could be a match up nightmare and extremely dangerous.
