-Giorgio Bowers wavering


Recruiting in the MAC is not for the meek. The coaches have to deal with some really disheartening setbacks along the way. The hope now is that they once again come up with unknowns who impress as much as Tyrone Clark and Alan Baxter have.

Bowers is visiting Akron this weekend. If he's not sure of his commitment and it seems like he's not. Here's a back the Huskies should be recruiting. Bigger, faster, stronger and played on a championship High School program

The staff should be recruiting an undersized fullback from Kansas with no other listed offers?

215 is hardly undersized and he'll likely gain weight. Didn't you notice his 40 time. He's 25 pounds heaving than Bowers and runs a faster 40 time 4.54 vs 4.59. He could be utilized as a blocking or change of pace back in a 2 back set or possibly as a workhorse who carries the ball 20 or more times per game. Remember Brown and Spann have been hurt this year and Alan Smith has not yet recovered from his knee injury in hs.

Smith is a 3 star rivals rated and uncommitted, not many meeting those standards left out there. He's played on a team that won a 5A state title each of the last 4 years and he's the #11 rated HS prospect in a state with it's deepest HS talent pool. Didn't say he should definitely be offered but certainly recruited especially if Blowers changes to Akron
