Re: Committment from Akiem Hicks Well, this definitely came as a surprise to me. I think this pretty much wraps up DLine recruiting, unless a top guy wants to commit & then we make an exception.
Re: Committment from Akiem Hicks I think the same. I would say McFarland and Dye are the only takes out of the guys were are after. Cambell would be in that list if I thought we had a real shot at him.
Re: Akiem Hicks Here is the thread we had up on him. Obviously a Wroten type pickup as I stated. And much needed. This was a bit of a surprise. There were rumblings, but nothing that pointed to a commitment anytime soon. I am happy about it.
Re: Akiem Hicks I heard he was supposed to have been visiting TN this weekend but changed to us because of the coaching issues there. Thanks TN...after experiencing LSU on a big weekend, he had no choice but to commit to us. He's cancelled all future visits to other schools.
Re: Akiem Hicks We have been successful lately with JC players like Wroten and Byrd. I don't think we had that many in past years. Does anyone remember a JC that flopped for us?
Re: Akiem Hicks On top of his athletic skills, this shows his high level of intelligence too! For those who care, Rivals has us as the #3 class.
