This isn't new. It's been said repeatedly that Kylin Hill & Cam Akers wouldn't be going to the same school.

Hill will be our primary back in the 2017 class. We need him and Willie gay to commit early so we can get this class going.

Do they have a history or something? Aren't they two different styled backs?

Kylin Hill is a stud. Lock him down now!

After this cycle I don't really know if I'd think anyone is all but wrapped up. Hopefully OM hasn't established a pipeline out of SHS. If Willie Gay looks around, he will see that OM doesn't do jack shit for linebackers.

Akers is a slower Malik Dear (plays qb in high school) but it takes all 11 defensive players to take him down. Hill is the running back version of Chad Bumphis. He's quick, shifty and has phenomenal vision. I like Hill's style as a runner better. He's a better ball handler, and he's consistent on gaining positive yards. Akers biggest upside is extending plays. You can't arm tackle Akers. He runs like he's a middle linebacker. Both of these guys are going to be great at the next level. But they won't be on the same team.
Not to worry though. Kobe Jones will help us get Willie Gay. Keytaon Thompson will help us get Brad Stewart and Keldrick Carper. Erroll will get us J'Marick Woods. And hopefully my favorite recruit for the 2017 class, Ronald Ladd, will commit soon as well. Leo Lewis 2.0.... the guy hits like a train.

Willie will have a quiet recruitment. His best friend is Kobe Jones, and he's close with Kylin. And he can fit a definite need for us. I expect Sirmon to take over his recruitment full time.

We need to get as many of the instate guys in the boat as soon as possible like Hill, Gay, Avery, Epson, Charles etc. That way we can try to snag a few big names out of state. The faster we build this class the better chance of picking up some momentum. Similar to what LSU did on their class this year.

Who has Akers been "taken care of" by? Ole Miss or Bama? You better believe that won't slow Ole Miss down if it's Bama. Oh, and Bama has the #1 overall player/RB committed already, so why would Cam go there with that guy, but not to the same place as Hill? Isn't Cam being looked at as a potential linebacker too?
We have 35 potential players, so by God we need to set our sites on BOTH Akers and Hill. It's way too early to be conceding folks when you have as many spots as we do....especially in-state studs like Akers. Our staff better not be giving up on guys this early. Am I missing something? Did we learn nothing from this past recruiting cycle?
Sorry for 20 questions

They really do have a pattern of getting some fairly highly rated in state guys to jump on board very early and then you never hear about their recruitment again.

Brad Stewart, Cam White, J'Marick Woods, CJ Avery and Keldrick Carper may pull the trigger as well. Also, don't sleep on the Keyshawn Johnson / Sirmon relationship.
Keyshawn Sr actually was a bulldog for a quick spell. So maybe we can get the son this time legitimately.

Is CJ Avery related to the LB Avery from Memphis that wants to transfer to OM to be closer to his sick mother? He's also from Grenada.
