I was told from an Ole Miss booster in Jackson that it's Florida State and was about $600k. He's been getting a lot of pressure to go anywhere but LSU.

$200k a year. What a steal.

I wonder what LSU was offering. Had to think it was higher than that.

As long as he's out of the SEC West...then not much collateral damage...would be a phenomenal get, so too bad

Cool. There seems to be a Louisiana kid our in Jennings who I hear would love to be a Tiger. He has a great frame and vision. He's gotten stronger and faster in one year. Get that kid his offer.

I want the kids that have it in their heart to be here.

too much importance is placed on having an elite running back. People upset about losing out on Ackers should be more concerned with getting the best OL, DL, and LB'ers. You control the trenches and have your guys playing on your opponents side of the LOS....... you will be successful.

Not worried at all about our current and committed running backs or receivers. Need more of the big uglies.

correct, especially when the former HC reduced his approach on Offense to nothing more than running the ball

Would be more surprised if he picked LSU than FSU; would be disappointed however.

Until he announces, I'm assuming he's not a lock anywhere. Played his recruitment straight up (not an attention seeker or troll) and close to the vest. Lots of pros AND cons to consider for both LSU and FSU.

I'm hoping/wishing he's 'swayable' right up to announcement, that gives LSU a chance. Once he goes public, it's over I'm assuming. No change between announcement and early enrollment however.

Well, Jimmy has been right and Jimmy has been wrong. We will see on this one.

I appreciate the efforts of Charles to help convince Akers to pick LSU.

There are still some hours left before the announcement. Maybe Akers will give the matter some additional thought, but the reporting done so far does not look promising for LSU.

It's one thing to have some sour grapes after a guy like Moses intentionally trolls a school he claims to have loved his whole life, but this kid seems completely different. No matter where he goes, he's handled his recruitment about as well as any recent big-time commit. I respect that.

Can we stop giving these recruiting guys clicks? Either he's right and he looks good or he's wrong and then blames his "sources" for the info.

If Akers really isn't coming to LSU, at least give him, a high schooler, a chance to have his day to shine, regardless of who he chooses.

JD doesn't need me defending him but he never said that. The fact that you read doom and gloom into his "momentum shift" tweet is your failure, not his.

What?? Is someone trying to take that away from him? Dear god. JD answered a tweet, he didn't proactively post anything. And if he'd have said that Cam is coming to LSU, you and all of us would have pimped that news all day long.
