He didn't have the chest.

Clemson isn’t the home state school that is supposed to covet you. They have a lot more freedom in that situation than we do to offer late.

You guys really are bitching about running back recruiting?

It wasn't just about making Cam Akers priority they also seemed to make Helaire a priority over Etienne. I think Juluke was the main guy pushing for Etienne since the beginning.

Dabo's wife and Etienne's mom were best friends in college. LSU never had a chance.

This same thread will happen for the next three years and then into his likely pro career.

He simply did not want to stay in state. It happens he loved LSU, still does and has many friends on the team. Fact of the matter is he simply wanted to move away. Good for him, he supports LSU to this day and texts Guice regularily.

His senior year he went to 5 LSU games, not a single Clemson game. I applaud the guy for taking a chance in life, moving away from his family and friends to pursue a dream.

He simply was not coming here, no shame in that. Props

He looked like Guice and Fournette wrapped up in one, with the moves and audacity of Sam McGuffie.

Ask Les Miles, he can tell you exactly why it happened. Hint: the player Miles wanted is now playing for Clemson's arch nemesis the Florida State Seminoles.

Per a family member, verbatim.....”he’s looking for the best deal and wants to go out of state”.

So yeah, he was never coming here, regardless of what the supposed gurus claim.

I begged last December, but noooooooooooooooooo, Akers is the one. Well, of he had preferred LSU until more or less...you know the rest of the story.

All time leading rusher at JHS that had stood since 1962...that person played cornerback at LSU...take a guess.

Man I wanted to see that kid at LSU. So, how is Cammy doing anyway?
