Final Recruit Rankings from 247

Shakeup at the top as 247Sports announces final 5-stars for '17

No. 7 Cam Akers, RB, Clinton (Miss.) High School
Recruitment: enrolled at Florida State

Movement: Down from No. 3

Simmons says: "Akers is one of the few backs in any class that can step in for Dalvin Cook without missing a beat. I think he truly has that kind of impact ability in Tallahassee. He'll be a starter and a strength on a national title contender. We had already made him the No. 1 RB above Najee Harris in December."

Let's hope he is no Dalvin.

No. 29 Devonta Smith, WR, Amite (La.) High School
Recruitment: After visiting LSU last weekend, Smith has trips to Alabama and Miami in front of him with the Tide considered the favorite.

Movement: Down from No. 14

Simmons says: "This call was about Smith's upside. He's so good right now but still so far from being maxed out. As he adds strength and mass on the college level, he's going to become a dominant force."

Yeah, uh...no, Cook was a rare breed. I'm sure no fsu fan, but to act like Cook can easily be replaced is insulting.

I agree with you, I'd prefer a bust.

Checked his film. QB running from broken play in most his hl. He is fast but not a Dalvin Cook.

Smith down 15 spots in recruiting rankings? Must mean we're getting him...

I hope that's the sign. You know if it were FSU, Bama, or Mich it would have gone up.

I sort of agree with your sentiment, but sometimes that's the result of just having to play freshmen a lot of snaps. And don't blame 247, don't they just do the average of all the other sites combined?

Cam Akers hasn't even played RB and he's rated the #1 RB smdh.....

Stanford is loading up in the trenches

 

[BigDikCane]

Did Cam Akers average 10 yds a carry in Dade County?

Maybe not, but maybe the schools that were in the running do have large bases?

Or maybe it's silly to think star rankings are always influenced by subsciption base?
