This kid is a priority. Show them what underrated recruits can do! LSU knows all too well.

For who? Because unless you aren't familiar with the definition of that word, that's not a correct statement in relation to LSU.

HUH???

Perhaps you aren't familiar with LSU's future running back situation...

Without Akers, hes a MUST get now. Go take a look at the RB depth chart.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with verb tense. To say the kid IS a priority when to this point we've shown little interest is absurd.

You can project that he will be. Or even opine that he should be. But based on actual things that have taken place to this point in time, there is nothing to suggest that he is a priority.

You can also say he is a "must get" or a "need". But words have meanings and the appropriate ones should be used to describe a situation accurately.

ETA: Also, saying he is a priority implies there is specific knowledge of the actions the coaching staff are taking behind the scenes at this very moment. Or even what their thoughts are. Both of those things are not knowable to this board at this time.

I understand LSU wanting Akers but it seems like they would've offered this kid long before now. He doesn't have a lot of hype but his offer list is big league. If Etienne ends up being our consolation prize then that's more than ok by me.

LSU slept on Ettienne because they could. He isnt and EE and even without an actual offer, kept LSU in his top 3.
If (when) Akers heads to FSU, LSU moves on Ettienne and my guess is he commits shortly after his OV in Jan. Ettinne will be a difference maker type back at LSU. See special teams action as a Frosh, and push for the starting job as a Soph.

So much wrong in this thread. The staff has been communicating with etienne robustly for quite some time now. He was a take regardless of akers decision. With no big time prospects on La. Next year, the staff was prepared to take three this year and look to the next state over for a back.

Etienne is really good.

Well now he has an official offer from LSU. Expect him to be a tiger.

There are other running backs that they are interested in before Ettienne.

I think it's widely known that Akers was P1 and Ettiene is P2

I hope LSU gets Etienne but calling him under rated isn't really true. The dudes a 4* that's pretty highly rated
