re: Seems Cam Akers had a great visit at LSU with his mom

est question....why are OM fans so certain he is a lock? Is there something your mods know? Just curious really. Don't want to get my hopes up on this kid, but he sure does seem interested after these last two visits. Clinton is very close to BR too which can't hurt.

I don't consider him a lock at all, but I think most of the confidence comes from the fact he is a Mississippi kid and State has Kylin Hill. Ole Miss desperately needs a star running back and I'm sure our coaches have stressed this to him. Our offensive line and receivers should be near the top of the SEC by his soph year, if not his frosh and then we have what many consider to be a future star who will be his QB in Shea Patterson. Obviously schools like LSU and Bama can sell pretty much the same thing, but they get 5 and 4 star running backs every year so it's easier for Ole Miss to sell how important he is.
