re: Apparent logic behind Travis Etienne's decision that some are not grasping

You heard him say it live, why he wants to get away. Damn near everything I said in my OP.

I don't know TE. He's probably a great young man as well as a football player. But your line of argument doesn't pass muster.

If he really wanted to get out of Jennings, then why would he care if he was a fallback plan to us? LSU isn't going to move Jennings farther away. And LSU isn't going to fix the socio-economic conditions in Jennings.

Suggesting our staff (Les or O) was late to the party is just deflection. They're not stupid. They can tell when a prospect simply wants a change in environs. So why would they have pursued a lower rated player who wasn't interested at the expense of a higher rated prospect who showed genuine interest?
