Pooka and Travis Etienne would be a nice additions to our backfield and return game.

Play silly recruiting games win silly prizes.

Keep one thing in mind, with Pooka anyway, the current recruiting rules regarding the 25 cap (with exceptions) pretty much eliminates taking grade risks.

I think that's why Pooka isn't a Tiger right now.

Etienne... that's a whole different thing however.

Explanation: Used to only enrolees counted against your class; so if someone went JUCO because of non-qualifying, they didn't go into that years class.

Now, if you sign a recruit that doesn't qualify or make it through the clearinghouse (SEC or NCAA by the way), they count.

Most aren't worth the risk.
