How Did We Miss On Etienne?

Slow played him trying to get Cam Akers.

Poor recruiting

Because Jabbar Juluke was lazy!

He's not one of us??????

Guy wanted to go out if state, and it was evident in his comments the full year prior to his commitment to Clemson. We certainly didn’t slow play him; Clemson offered him right at the end after we did. He just wanted a change of scenery. It was an unwittingly good decision on his part. He’s more of a home run hitter that a compete type of back. Clemson’s offence is more conducive to his abilities. He wouldn’t be the star he is if he were at at LSU, and he won’t be such in the NFL.

He wanted to be a Tiger, and play in Death Valley

They wanted Akers the whole time and all indications were that we had the inside track. In state, between Helaire and Etienne, Miles staff liked Helaire better. After Helaires commitment, we didn't really go much after Etienne. Around the time Orgeron came in we realized Etienne was a hell of a RB and started recruiting him harder but were always all in on Akers. Once it became apparent we weren't going to get Akers we really went after Etienne but by then Etienne was somewhat insulted at being played for 2nd fiddle. Clemson didn't go after him until they had missed on a higher priority back either but we were the 'in-state' school who had 'dissed' him.

Coach Zero
