We obviously wanted him and needed more depth, but we're more than fine. Brossette was ranked higher than Etienne as a recruit and will be a senior once Guice is gone. More than capable of being the bell cow, criminally underrated on trant...

Just calling it like I see it. He would've been depth but not a huge loss.

He's going to the real Death Valley anyway

He's really good but I don't see him having a LF, Guice type impact. He is really good though.

I don't blame the guy for going to a team that's been as hot lately as Clemson has been. He was obviously a backup plan for LSU and it's probably a big reason as to why he's not gonna be playing for LSU. Oh well, LSU will be ok at RB

It was a prick move to say Clemson is "the real Death Valley". Classless

But still a loss no matter what TE is a better back then CEH. Is Brossette the back we feel good about really! He is the kid that is just descent.
TE-Good luck to him,but most of we have to change our recruiting strategy in 2018!

Travis Etienne isn't a great RB, He would've been a live body, but if he was a stud we wouldn't have offered him 2 weeks ago.


Look I would have loved to get him, he is a backyard kid and he is GOOD running back and I hope he does well at Clemson.

That being said HE AIN'T NO Guice or LF so LSU will be fine without him. If he was a HAVE to take, LSU would have been all over him from the start. I wish him all the best but he can take his arse to the fake Death Valley.

By him saying that Clemson is the "Real" Death Valley just proves he is all butt-hurt about LSU not going bat-shite over him in the first place. He wanted to go to LSU but felt slighted that we went after Akers harder than him. Go cry in South Carolina where NO one can hear you!!!

Obviously when I player doesn't pick LSU it is because they're really not that good

We were offering him so obviously we wanted him. (he has a cool LSU last name)It's disappointing when young men decide to attend school and play elsewhere. Clemson is a very good school and obviously a solid football program. Best of luck(stay classy young man)

Yeah, because LSU fans NEVER melt when we lose a LA recruit, right?

Some here were comparing him to Melvin Gordon. Why aren't these people saying it now.

If he got his feelings hurt, and that's the reason he decided on Clemson, it's just a petty reason some young kids might choose. Were it me, I would go to LSU and prove to them that I should have been their first choice all along, but that's just me.

He wasn't Clemson's first choice either, so good luck finding support when things get tough. He just sounds bitter with his Death Valley comments. Wish him well, but it seems like he made an emotional, irrational decision he may soon regret.
