Akeem Jones QB Miami Carol City H.S.

I wonder if we have offered... 247 reported he has offers from Clemson, Marshall and Louisville. Has he visited any of those?
We offered this weekend. And are supposedly his lead school right now.
 
Looks like he has a slow release and a long windup on his throws. Good wheels though. I think we can work on all of that.
 
Coach McDonald has been on him for nearly 3 years and on this visit an official Syracuse offer was extended. Akeem had a great time, Durell Eskridge was his host. He was taken by the close knit feeling throughout the team. The offense we will be running is the same as he ran at his high school, Miami Carol City. Jones is looking for one more "big offer" like Clemson where he has some connections. AK says he won't commit until signing day or beyond. He also likes Marshall where he has connections as well. Jones has made an unoffical visit to FSU during their game vs Florida. Has talked with FAU, UF, BC & Utah St.

During his senior season he threw for 1,516 yards, 16 TD's and just 6 int's. Akeem is listed at 6-2 or 6-3 depending on what site you visit and when the information was provided.
 
I don't know why but the first name that comes to mind after watching Jones is Malik Campbell. Might be out of right field, sorry home with flu or something but that's what I think.
 
Based off that one I agree he looks very impressive. Based off ESPN he runs a 4.89 forty, which isn't exactly blazing but it isn't bad.
I don't put much weight into 40 times listed on recruiting sites.

They aren't running these 40's in a standardized environment like the NFL Combine.

There are way too many variables for a recruiting site 40 time to give an accurate idea of a player's speed.

The kid himself reported those numbers. Like an SU coach once told me, the only numbers we believe are the ones we do ourselves and then some of those could be off.
 
So did Mitch Kimble just take this guy's schollie?

Would appear that would be the case ... unless they decide to recruit him as an athlete ...
 
Are we still interested in AJ with the commit from Kimble?
 
If he redshirted and Slashton does not play QB it might make sense but it seems like a stretch.

I think that bringing in two QB's this year indicates that Broyld probably won't be playing QB.
 
I was reading an analysis of his skill set somewhere and it said that a position switch at the college level was a real possibility.
 
My Translation: they are going to tell him they’re out of room. If he’s really wanted he can either grayshirt or go to prep school. Then they’ll kindly exit and go visit mr coley.

all about relationship building and that's what they're doing by going there in person. plus I've noticed that Shaf has been accompanying our OC on some of these south florida trips. Now I realize Shaf has his own contacts in south florida but may be this is helping him open up some other doors. or maybe my guess is just flat wrong.
