Cam Akers Decision (Mississippi's Excellent Broadcast)

[4down20]

I like their individual ratings. It's better than Scout or ESPN's

Better based on what?

I couldn't tell you, I don't evaluate talent.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Yeah, I remember when they said that about White being better than Amari Cooper a few years ago heading into the NFL.

Yeah it will be nice when Michigan has a 1st round RB like Harris declaring after his successes.

ESPN's ratings are the worst so many obvious top players are ranked low. Scout is the same. They don't rank east coast recruits high.

And you know this how?

Because they don't rate the guys you like high enough, or because you can accurately rate and rank 18 year old football players?

Are you going to argue semantics all day or admit you were wrong about the 247 rankings between Harris and Akers?

What semantics? How the fuck do you know if 1 recruiting service is better than the other? What are you basing that claim on?

I freely admit I haven't a remote fucking clue which service is more accurate.

As for 247 rankings, fine whatever. Just don't expect me to give a shit about them or consider arguments based on them valid.

Why did you get bent out of shape when someone mentioned Akers was the #1 RB? A lot of people use 247's individual rankings on these forums.

I'm not bent out of shape and I don't really care who is ranked where. It amounts to he said something I didn't find to be true and that's about it.

One of the better players we got last year wasn't even ranked highly at all and nobody really even knew about him. All I care about is if Saban gets who he wants.

But I'm still waiting to hear how/why 247 individual rankings are the best.

Personally they are on the same level. I just think Akers has more upside and would take him over Najee. Obviously Harbaugh and Saban wants Najee, so who am I to judge. It's just my opinion. I don't think one blows away the other like some suggests.

247 is a preference with me. I notice their rankings from the past has fewer busts for 5 stars. I never said it was the correct rankings, but most people think ESPN's is a joke.

I have no clue, I don't rate talent and haven't a remote clue. Maybe you are right, I don't know. But to be honest, I really don't think you have a remote clue either.

If 5 star busts are the criteria, then Saban must be horrible at rating talent.

Hasnt LSU had at least 1 NFL RB on the roster since like 1983?

Damn, not sure if true but it sounds right. Even when we sucked in the 90's we always had great running backs. Kevin Faulk played with the Patriots till he had a damn walker.

 

[The Crimson King]

Hmmm...^^^^

I bet we go back before 83

 

[7Samurai13]

Beats the fuck outta me. I actually try to pay as little attention as possible to recruiting. To many people trying to claim they know this or that and then in the end you're just waiting for the decision of some 17/18 year old kid.

But can't help but browse the rankings.

If Saban gets who he wants, then I'm good. And all I know is Saban wants Harris a lot more than he wants Akers for whatever reason.

Says he is trying to pay as little attention as possible to recruiting but starts crying when someone claims that an Alabama recruit isn't the top running back.

 

[Jchurch06]

Those broadcasters were so butthurt hahaha

 

[brandonk989]

Big get for us. Feel for Jacques Patrick but I wasn't too comfortable with him being the bell cow back next year. He works much better as a change of pace back in my opinion.

Not butt hurt at all. But for someone who doesn't pay attention to recruiting you spend a lot of time paying attention to recruiting.

So you spend time every day checking recruiting rankings and then claim that you don't pay attention to recruiting? I don't pay attention to hockey, you know what I don't do? I don't spend time every single day checking the standings in the NHL.
