OM Pros:
Proximity to home
Home state allure (might sound strange to idiots on a message board but it means a lot to HS kids)
Mom likes Freeze and RB coach Derrick Nix (probably best and longest tenured relationship)
Feature back Day 1
LSU Pros:
Program prestige
RB pipeline
Coach O relationship is good
Proximity to home about even w/ OM
Can platoon with Guice next year and be feature back in 2018
FSU Pros:
Program prestige
RB pipeline
Cook going pro
Prostyle offense with pass catching RBs
Jimbo inhome left
At the end of the day recruiting is about relationships. OM people believe he'd be committed to OM without the NCAA investigation. It's clear that when it comes down to relationships (included the most important one other the kid itself, his mom), OM seems to be the winner.
If it were me and had no biases, I'd pick LSU (no NCAA shite, RB tradition, close to home). I still think he ends up signing with OM.

In all seriousness, this kid has some amazing opportunities.
FSU would be gold. He would have a good QB he will be with for at least 2 years, system conducive to great RB production, and the window is there for him to play from day one. The only problem there is that he isn't necessarily ready to go out of the box... which is where LSU's benefits come in.
LSU has a proven track record of pumping out RB's. Elite talent surrounding you. You get to back up Guice for a year while you learn the ropes, which could be huge for Cam since he has technically been a QB for a few years. For that reason this is probably his best option, as good as he is he will need a little time to develop pass blocking skills, catching balls out of the backfield, sweeps, etc... In most cases, as a RB, you are only getting the ball on 1/4 to 1/3 of the snaps. The way you play on the other 2/3 of the plays is hugely important.

I don't know any other way to tell you but Coach O and Freeze will not be there. Jimbo will. That's a fact

It would be fun to watch him in the wildcat with Guice =)

You've beaten LSU twice in 25 years. Cam being there or not being there doesnt change that. Yall care about beating one school, so yes, Bama fans or other schools may have that logically viewpoint, but you guys dont.
So because I'm a MSU grad, I can't have a logical viewpoint because we've beaten LSU twice in 25 years? Got it. But if I'm a Bama fan with the same viewpoint, it's acceptable. That makes no sense whatsoever and has nothing to do with Cam's recruitment.
And again, I don't share the same pov as Skirp. I'm just saying it's logical. My opinion: I don't want Cam Akers at Ole Miss because they are our rival.

Lsu is more of a threat to Bama's dominance than Om is. OM's success is more of a threat to MSU's program than LSU's success. How is Cam at OM instead of LSU better for MSU logical?

no . he says ole miss and LSU will be there the guy has explained it to you twice.
Head Coaches only get 1 in home Hugh Freeze and Ed Orgeron have used their in homes. Jimbo has not.
Ole miss reps, LSu reps and FSU reps will be in his home. FSU will have their head coach Jimbo Fisher with them as he hasnt used his 1 in home with cam Akers yet.

This is all based on the notion that Cam said he wants to play with Trey. We all know how that usually plays out.

It likely is. This stuff pops up all the time when the big recruits get together. Think AA weekends, camps, ect. It's all talk and conjecture in the end.

I am just using my brain instead of fandom. Ban bet he doesnt go to UT?
Posted on 12/8/16 at 3:18 pm to Whereisomaha
No one is saying VOLS lock here but Barton isn't going to post something like that because Trey Smith said he will recruit Akers.
That's just stupid.

One extreme to another
Simmons is saying that because Cam said he and Trey will play at the same school. So when UT gets Trey all of a sudden UT is this surprise team in the running for Cam. You just think that's coincidence? And sure, UT might make his top three but hes not going to UT which is why you are getting mocked.

What business is Barton in again?
The stimulating recruiting stories business?
I'm not saying he's right or wrong but these people's livelihoods depend upon people clicking and buying. And I guarantee that story is getting clicks

The VQ mods have been saying the same for a while now and they are notoriously conservative. Basically the anti-OM mods

Lol what? I'm only posting stuff from Barton and you and a couple of OM posters are shooting this down like there's no credibility. Seems strangely familiar iwabh.
