Clinton's Cam Akers is getting ready for a huge game against No. 2 Brandon, but he's not the only running back (at least on the next level) shining so far this season in Mississippi. Hattiesburg's Fabian Franklin and Jackson Prep's Jerrion Ealy may be the best players in the next two classes, and what makes them special? Plus more talk on Week 3 storylines, and the recruitment of Velma Jackson point guard Nick Weatherspoon to the nation's elite basketball schools.

All the running backs belong to Mississippi

Stop us if you've heard this one: five-star prospect from the metro area commits to Mississippi State. Why will Nick Weatherspoon end up different than Malik Newman? There were upsets galore on Friday, so Will and Hugh figure out what it all means. What's up with South Panola? And how about the big games this Friday?

Clinton star Cam Akers finished off a sensational high school career Friday, and now the focus turns to where he'll go to school. So is it Ole Miss? Or LSU? Or Florida State? Or someone else? Plus the chance for craziness with Myles Brennan, Willie Gay and C.J. Avery.

So 'bout that Cam Akers guy

With Ole Miss' new coordinators in place, the guys try to figure out what that means for Rebel recruiting efforts. In particular, Clinton running back Cam Akers. Is he making an emotional or practical decision, and who does that favor between Ole Miss, LSU and Florida State.
