Seems odd to have us in top schools and never visited. Do you remember other guys we have signed that did the same?

A bit odd, but not necessary considering proximity. Easy for him to pay for drive. Would rather use officials for far trips like UCLA, Miami, Hawaii, etc

He isn't coming and no I can't think of any that signed that didn't take an official.

I agree, he isn't coming here. He is going to Florida State and if not there Ole Piss. He doesn't want to come to LSU cause we don't have a quarterback yet. Yes we have commitments but, we don't really know how good they will be.

He's not picking us today...
We have a month and a week to change his mind. We'll thrive with him, survive without him. No players in last decade I can think of not taking OV.

Pretty sure he didn't make an official to Ole Miss either so that's a plus

Like I said , I want Akers, but if he doesn't come o well. People will see Etienne is one of the top backs in the country.

His tweets say he's making mom happy. Wouldn't that insinuate he's staying in Mississippi?
Has mom made her preference public? I don't know I haven't heard anything. Maybe someone could answer that question.

If logic and all these stupid hat games has it he's FSU. If he goes to Ole Miss the whole thing is comedy at this point.

Not odd, but very telling. I'm hoping he lands here, he would have an immediate impact but I'm not holding my breath.

In all honesty Brosette is a beast as well.

What the frick does this even mean? I've never seen something that makes so little sense.

Agreed. I really had a chance to watch his film from his junior year to his senior year and he looks to be much quicker than he was a year ago. Breaks tackles and knows how to pick up those yards in tough situations.

I would not feel slighted if we got Etienne in the end. Akers is just ready from day one physically, although he did not fair well in the All-Star game with equal competition. The kid going to State looked better all around even though Akers has a step on him.

I give Etienne a year of strength and conditioning at LSU and he could be next. Not to mention he doesn't have to bare the whole load with Clyde if he sticks around.

Yeah I mean comparing both of them coming out of HS it is obvious that Cam is the better prospect. I know Nick added some good weight and gets rave reviews on reading the holes.
