re: 2017 4-star WR DD Bowie commits to Alabama

Yes I watched his HUDL tonight and even though it is obvious he is the best athlete on the field I was was not terribly impressed with it other than he high points the ball fantastically. To say his route running was poor would be an understatement and it didn't show any of the other attributes that make WRs special (ie. Blocking) He may be better suited to defense and kick returns but once again the film really didn't show if he was willing to come downhill, take on blockers and help clean up a RB. So to sum it up, I have seen other kids play against much stiffer competiton in MS and look a Helluva lot better. Now he does play for a good up & coming coach but he is playing 3A ball whereas Akers is playing 6A in arguably the toughest region in the State. I would definitely take the kid as a projected starter Jr. year but would really toot the horn if Akers committed. He has the potential to be something special if he keeps his head on straight.
