What is FSU Selling Akers on?

Several Recruiting analysts have stated that FSU sold Akers on being the guy at RB from day one. Below is what they have on the roster coming back. Patrick and Rasul were highly recruited backs.
7 Ryan Green RB 5-11 204 RJr. St. Petersburg, Fla. / St. Petersburg Catholic
9 Jacques Patrick RB 6-2 231 So. Orlando, Fla. / Timber Creek
22 Amir Rasul RB 5-10 196 Fr. Miami, Fla. / Coral Gables
26 Johnathan Vickers RB 6-1 228 Jr. Quincy,
38 Fred Davis RB 5-11 214 RFr. Jacksonville, Fla. / William M. Raines
43 Jake Duff RB 6-0 184 So. North Fort Myers, Fla. / North Fort Myers
FSU also has two backs currently committed for 2017.
Meanwhile, LSU will have Guice for one more year most likely, Williams is a senior, and then Brossette and Lanard.
LSU has Clyde currently committed. If anything, LSU appears to be a much better spot if playing time is the consideration?
Cook is a dynamic RB and will have a very successful career, but LSU has always put their RBs in a position to be extremely successful.

Basically telling him he's better than anyone on the roster next year and will be Dalvin Cook 2.0 from day 1.

Recruiters! The best recruiters, ethically or otherwise, can/and will sell you a bucket of salt water in the middle of the ocean if you will listen and bite. Just the way it is.

Telling him he'll replace Cook day one. Doesn't really matter if it's true or not, matters if he believes it. This is how recruiters earn their paycheck. I'm sure LSU has pointed out there are other guys on their roster, but our coaches have a harder sell with Guice being the obvious starter and Cook leaving.

I think we still pull Akers

The same thing LSU is, the opportunity for immediate playing time.

Did he commit there?

LSU was severely hamstrung by the lack of OC. Thats a massive red flag to these national recruits like Akers. Hell it hurt us with bleeding purple guys like Brennan too.
Now that the situation is resolved, we can only hope to make up ground.

Weak ACC defenses to pad his stats against. If he wants to look impressive against real defenses, SEC WEST is where it's at. H

They have sold Akers on lsu not having an OC. That has changed. I think we'll be fine. No sauces

Doesn't have to play against the Bama defense.
