Would Cam Akers To Ole Miss Be the Silliest Commitment In MS History?

On Bounds this morning, Bo said that he is hearing that Akers wants to go to LSU but may end up at OM due to "pressure".

It got me thinking, would Akers committing to OM be the silliest commitment in Mississippi history?

Let's look at the evidence

- Chance to got to a bowl game? No

- Chance to win the Heisman? No. probably won't ever go to a bowl game.

- Chance to play on a good team? Maybe. Will have to be soon because that currently ranked 59th recruiting class with similar classes to follow will be bearing down on him.

- Will he play for current OM coaches? Probably not

- Will he develop? They haven't developed anyone.

- Lastly, as the Kang used to say, cheating in recruiting doesn't work if the kid doesn't go to the school he wants because when the going gets tough he'll make excuses. Whereas kids that attend schools they want to go hold themselves accountable and figure things out.

So, if Cam goes to OM, would any recruit in Mississippi history have less going for him?

What silly, awful decision that would be. Not to mention it may show up in the NCAA's radar

What pressure? Is his parents being given money or something?

Some people just can't see the forest for the trees. They'll make their bed and then blame everyone else for having to lay in it.

I really don't want to spread rumors about a kid or his family but the word around Clinton is that his mama is sending him to the highest bidder and you know who that is.

CJ Johnson to Ole Miss was pretty baffling. AJ was pretty bad last year b/c of how many receivers Ole Miss has and what a huge need he was for us.

But yeah, Cam to Ole Miss would be a bad career move for him. He would be better off going to any other sec school maybe even Missouri.

OM has only had 4 1,000 yard rushers since Integration

It would be a horrible move for him

The Bears were there yesterday and he called them his family...

Is that pullover courtesy of Rebel Rags?

The dude is from Clinton, not South Panola. The only "pressure" he might be facing is an offer too good to pass up.

He can be a rb in bucky's offense, which is not an attractive proposition. Or, he can be a rb in a new coach's offense, which has to be more attractive. But, with their problems on the OL and serious penalties looming, I don't see them having a great chance of upgrading their OL.

Some people don't recognize a bad deal even when it smacks them in the face.

Freeze has never had a 1,000 yard rusher and that offense will teach ZERO concepts a RB needs for the NFL.

It's not like Freeze is know for developing RB's for the NFL...

And none of them belonged to Freeze.

It would arguably be the dumbest move in the history of MS sports. It would be akin to the Red Sox trading Ruth, but in this case the Aker's family gets to be the Red Sox. Honestly, I would rather see him go to OM than LSU though because he won't be a threat there. If he goes to LSU, he's going to cram it down our throats for four years behind a real OL on a national contender. If he goes to Ole Miss, he'll be lucky to hoist to the egg bowl trophy in his lifetime and we know they're not going to be hoisting any other trophies while he's there. Him on a good team would be scary.

That's actually an altered image. An Ole Miss sorority student informant, I'll call her Deep Throat, sent me the original image:

If he's as good as everybody says (or even half as good), he won't be at LSU but for 3 years, and he will be behind Guice for at least one of those years and will have to beat out multiple other 4* and 5* RB's for the other 2 years. LSU is never going to be NOT able to run the ball, so him going there doesn't change anything in regards to MSU or our games against them.

Personally, I'm running out of F's to give about Akers. It's looking more and more like his eventual destination isn't going to affect us one bit (unless by some miracle he chooses MSU), so I don't know why so many folks even care where he goes.

If you're the NCAA, doesn't this send up red flags? Shouldn't they be interviewing Akers right now?

Freeze sure is getting cozy with the young lady. I guess he's humming "Old times there are not forgotten" in his head. Hypocrite in so many ways. I guess the network has come up with a new "cartel" method of money exchange that the NCAA can't detect. What does his mom do for employment? I guess she could move into the Tunsil house.

So his is not going to an SEC school? Michigan, OSU or FSU ?

Surely they are not stupid enough to be doing this while being investigated...

Not sure of the family's employment, but they have a fairly nice house. A friend and coworker lives down the street.

Hasn't slowed them down before now since 2013 when the investigation started.

I know but if there is about to be show causes handed out, how they go to a recruits house and face a family and tell them all is well if it is not?

I didn't say that. I said his decision won't affect us. If he goes SEC, its either LSU or OM. If its LSU, he joins a team with a bunch of other stud RB's and OL that are going to be able to dominate the running game with or without him. If its OM, he's going somewhere with a crippling supporting cast and probation looming where they will suck with or without him. It's two opposite ends of the spectrum, but in either case he isn't going to be the catalyst that causes us to lose a winnable game against either team. Just isn't gonna happen.

If they are that compulsive about it then I think it's a sickness. seriously. I hope the NCAA buries them.

Follow a possible paper trail to his "dad". Former MVSU basketball player. He's in the pic.

I almost want to say Freeze has got to be a full blown sociopath if he can do this thing, buying players to use them up and discard them when they're spent, then lay on the Christian shtick to as extreme of a degree as he does and still sleep at night.

Akers to OM would absolutely be the dumbest commitment in the last several years.

Let's say he signs with OM and the NCAA hammer comes down granting immediate transfer options to signees. Where would he go then? By that point, Bama, OSU, FSU, and LSU would have already signed another 5* RB or multiple ones and not have room.

I'd have to say yeah

If I'm the NCAA I'm not letting this year's signees transfer. Last year their recruits were lied to. That's on Ole Miss and they should be able to transfer.

As for this year's recruits, they are just idiots and deserve no such sympathy if they are actually that retarded to sign with OM.

Is he a player?*

It's funny how a lot of these guys seem to be under a lot of "pressure" from UM during their recruitment. They are psychopaths when it comes to recruiting, and not in a good way -they are just stupid. I hope other coaches are filling Cam's ears with 1.) Freeze's lack of player development, and 2.) How the NCAA is preparing to prison rape their program. It's pretty evident where that "pressure" is coming from and why. It's pathetic how UM continues to play that game.

UM has to have the dumbest drones on earth if they're still playing desperate recruiting games while under NCAA investigation.

I hope he ends up in Ohio the kid is a freak athlete regardless of what your personal opinion is of he and his family. I would much rather not have to see him every year for 3-4 years. Although, if he does end up at OM we may get to beat the brakes off of them for the foreseeable future. One running back in their system won't beat us, so if he were to land in the SEC that might be the best place for us personally.

And lets look at this: which program doesn't fit...

Ohio State University
LSU
Alabama
Michigan
Ole Miss

Strange....

Robert Nkemdiche, the #1 college football player and #1 DL guy in the country went to Ole Miss to play for a DL coach who had never coach DL before. He got drafted (we would have been drafted high no matter where he went to school), but his performance in the NFL has been bad. Dude can't even get on the field.

Treadwell, the nation's #1 high school WR, went to Ole Miss to play for an offense-oriented head coach who had never coordinated an offense at a power 5 conference. He got drafted (we would have been drafted high no matter where he went to school), but his performance in the NFL has been bad. Dude can't even get on the field. He even tells people that he didn't learn much about the WR position at Ole Miss.

Tunsil...same story. Got to the NFL and had to move from OT to OG.

Freeze hasn't produced a single player that was able to do much of anything in the NFL.

Akers plays a position that Freeze's offense doesn't feature. Maybe that would change with Akers there, maybe it wouldn't. Maybe Akers could still get drafted from Ole Miss - maybe. But one thing's for sure...he wouldn't develop much as a player at Ole Miss.

Cam Akers needs to go to a school that knows how to develop offensive players. Ole Miss is not that.

Tunsil has actually been very good. He moved to LG because Miami has Branden Albert at LT. When Albert has been out, Tunsil has played LT and played it well. Outside of that, I agree with you.
