Article on Travis Etienne following his commitment to CU

Let that man see outside of Louisiana. Leave him be.

Let it go. Time to move on,

Have fun playing Duke, Wake Forest, NC State, North Carolina, Virginia, and Boston College.

Clemson is located in a beautiful part of the country and he'll visit some great stadiums. In sure he'll enjoy his experience outside of La just fine.

He'll be a senior next season. He came in the same class as Fournette.

Honestly it is a down year for RB's. We have a stable of them right now, and in my opinion an under rated rb due to injury already commited. Don't forget the guys in Ducre and Brousette that have hardly seen action and were 4* out of high school that will be 4-5yr guys.

That is great news having Guice, Brossette, and Williams!

You think Clemson, SC is nice? I've been there. It's kind of near some hills outside the Appalachian, but it's more like a sterile boring Tuscaloosa.

Uh, no. It's exactly what a lot of young, black kids are looking for. Pretty girls on the lake, a lack of concrete, steel and trash and not a gang in sight. Not to mention, it's not lost on the Moms that their boys will spend the next 3 years somewhere other than a city.

I wonder about you folks sometimes.

Our running game is going to be awful after next season. Better get 3 blue chip RBs who can tear the SEC up immediately as freshman.

Clemson is like my hometown of Franklinton LA. If you bat your eye you will miss both.

This is a positive to a lot of people, especially if they are used to being crowded by people all the time.

I love LSU and loved my time on campus but Baton Rouge itself is not exactly a place of beauty in general.

But I doubt most 4 and 5 star football players make their decisions based on locale, however. I'm sure Clemson's recent appearances in the NC games has as much to do with his decision as anything else.
