Clemson offered after us. I guess he just wanted to get away.



I've tried to get this out, but here's the skinny. His mom and Dabo's wife were in college together and bffs. Basically roomies

O came in and did all he could to make him feel wanted, and they acknowledge that, but the relationship was too strong with mom and wife....case closed

I can remember his recruitment and how it was discussed on the recruiting board at that time . There was a clear narrative that Akers was better . Ettiene got the most attention when people started saying “ Saban wants him” and then again after Akers declared for FSU. But he was never seen as a true difference maker like Akers. Then there was a non stop push for him. O made the hard late push , Clemson came in even later and he was gone .
