Travis was slow played by LSU during his recruitment. CEO, Jabar Jaluke, and Jeff Grimes went "All In" for Cam Akers since Clyde had already committed. When LSU coaches finally accepted reality that Akers was committing to FSU, they pushed hard for Etienne. By then it was too late since Travis felt LSU should have offered him much earlier in the process. Dabo came in at the last minute, told Travis what he wanted to hear, and the rest is history. The family (mom) had a bad taste in her mouth from Travis' recruiting as Trevor was NEVER coming to LSU

Pretty much this and the icing on the cake was Juluke missing a visit with Travis bc he fell asleep.

I don't buy this at all. If that's the logic, then Clemson did exactly what we did and he still chose them...

I thought it was Les that did the slow playing and coach O offered him right away, but I could be remembering that wrong.
