Mom wanted him to go to Tennessee, dad wanted FSU. Apparently we were paying the wrong parent.

From John Brice at 247, probably Tennessee's best beat writer. He doesn't just make up bullshite for subs and clicks like a lot of them.

I did post maybe two hours ago somewhere, the Akers deal per UT folks "got messy" in regards to Mom wanting Tennessee, Dad seeming to prefer FSU and then others, like a trainer or someone similar, also involved. Just several folks, even at other SEC rivals, indicated it had the feel of an AAU hoops star's recruitment. Just many layers and levels. Recruiting, be it college prospects, free agents at the next level or agents trying to sign athletes in respective sports, work to form a relationship with the individual and then work through a person known as the "champion." With Akers, it was more difficult to know who the "champion" was, but clearly it was more dad and the other person than it was mom, who was fully UT.
quote:
I posted late Monday night that I'd spoken with UT folks who felt good about Akers and then spoke still with more even after that post who felt the same. I had said all along UT would be in it with Akers till the end. I never had UT the favorite but on Monday night, I know UT folks were very cautiously optimistic --- again b/c they knew they had the mom.
Add in Akers tweeting this Christmas Eve and it makes me a tad salty

Thanks fellas. It always sucks thinking you're in it for a player and then get the carpet pulled out.

Yeah we've had our fair share of that the past year plus.

Anybody know how we are doing on trying to recruit some OL? I'm so sick of it being a joke
ETA: without the injuries it would have been better this year but I think they still would've struggled

We've got the #1 tackle enrolled already, we'll sign the #1 tackle in 18' as well. None of that matters if Mahoney is retained tho

Who is the 18 guy?

Lol, it's going to be horrible

Rumor is that Ray didn't commit last night with Saban visiting. Gives Butch and co. the opportunity to close this one out
