Anybody have the scoop as to why we don't have a shot at Akers?
Not a clue, but 247 says we have a 4% shot. Looks like we should be after him heavy.Quote:

If they talked to Akers isn't that an NCAA violation? I thought I remembered a while back that current athletes were not allowed to go out and recruit off campus. I know they hosts players on OV's, but thinking outside that was a no no.Quote:

Funny thing is he said they were all there to support Cam while 2 former USP players were in the pic.Quote:

Clarence McDougal, was second best, until his knee got blown out in a practice for the MS-AL All Star game. McDougal had his head screwed on straight. Really sad. I think he is an assistant coach at Hinds. Forget 40 speed, McDougal's 0-15 yard speed was freakish.
About once a year I watch the game film of the Clinton-MC game from 1998. Four future NFL players, plus Doug Buckles, plus Bobo Brown (signed with Michigan State) plus McDougal. A whole lotta talent out there. McDougal was the best of them all in that game.
I wouldn't say that. Make no mistake, the NCAA investigation is putting a halt to a lot of their activity, but they will still go all out for 2 or 3 guys in state this year, mainly because it won't draw the ire of the big out of state programs. Akers and Willie Gay are two of those guys. I expect they will pull out all the stops on Akers and they'll be in it to the end with him even if they don't land him.Quote:

There has also been discussion that he has his eyes set on going out of state, but we'll see how that plays out as it gets closer to February.Quote:

Peterson was a damn good coach in HS. If he can translate to the college game, I think he could be worth it. I don't want us passing up what we feel is a good coach for a SHOT at a good player. There's no guarantee that no Peterson = Akers in maroon and whiteQuote:

Newton, forest, Louisville, Brandon, Madison central, state.Quote:

When punishments get levied, everyone will be let out of their scholarships anyway so I say go ahead Rebels recruit away.
There is little to no chance of that happening. There is no precedent with the NCAA lifting transfer restrictions when issuing penalties for academic / recruiting violations. Nor should they. By doing that they are basically rewarding players who knowingly broke the rules and accepted benefits.Quote:
