Ole Miss has more NCAA violations then the Government has against Hillary Clinton now that is really really bad .
Hugh Freeze has a tailored made orange jump suite that reads NCAA on the back . They will be on probation as long as Donald Trump is president four years .

Supposedly this is one of the violations Ole Miss themselves were (is?) committing by offering recruits benefits ($) to cancel visits.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving team.

Was that ever confirmed? I was told he went straight to Ole Miss after the state championship game and didn't ride home with the team. Also, Saban is supposedly going to visit him this week.

I suspect Akers situation had something to do with LF getting out front and announcing for NFL even though he is not officially declared.

LF knew he was leaving and likely didnt want to have the same dumb question asked about whether he is staying or leaving. The media is dumb enough to ask that over and over when everyone else knows he was leaving. That being said, it doesnt hurt to let Akers know.

5-star RB Cam Akers could see himself getting his feet wet behind Derrius Guice at #LSU. He talks that, much more. LINK LINK

She shoot two birds one stone. He could be our answer at QB. Think of a better Jalen Hurts.

For real though. I think the spread comment by CEO may of deterred him a bit. But trust me I believe we would see a total radical shift. Formations yes but I believe we stick close to the 55/45 run/pass. Last year we were 60/40.

I'm sure I will get condemned for asking, but the 24/7 Crystal Ball breakdown is as follows:
Ole Miss: 30% Ohio St: 22% FSU: 22% and LSU: 13%

I know these things are just opinions of others and should be taken with a grain of salt. Also, that these %'s can't really be calculated so it's a take it for what it's worth type thing.

I guess what concerns me is that there are three other teams ahead of LSU in this prediction and this whole board is getting a jolly rancher hard since Akers didn't go on his Ole Miss visit...
While this is good news for us and the other two schools mentioned, I'm just wondering if there is any other sign that this means he is a lean to LSU (more so than OSU & FSU) or are we just speculating at this point?

A lot of crystal balls were entered early on. LSU has been gaining momentum, but a lot of people have not changed their CBs yet.

It's always hard to pull top kids from Mississippi. I think it comes down to FSU-LSU. Ohio State has a ton of RBS. Ole Miss is the instate favorite but there is so much uncertainty around that team. FSU gives him the opportunity to come in right away and play. He would also get significant carries at LSU behind Guice next year. It sounds like he has a great relationship with Coach O.
