Three things about Etienne's video stand out to me.
1. He has speed! Can't coach that. Also, makes the cut upfield with little effort.
2. He can catch the ball as a reciever. He seems to do it naturally.
3. He has a bit of a stutter step at times, enough to make the first guy miss. If he improves on this, he'll be an insane talent in Canada's system.

After watching this video and Akers, I'm not sure we wont break even if we pick up TE and lose CA.

He looks to me to be better than two backs on the LSU squad right now...certainly faster for sure...again, intangibles are for the staff to evaluate...jmho

I want Etienne at LSU. I know this kid is super talented, but is anyone concerned about the level of competition he's played? Honest question, I know these teams and let's just say there's not a whole lot of speed out there.

i was critical of TE as a major recruit last year but i'm coming around

he has a weird clunky-strided running style that makes him seem less fast than he times, but i'm curious how that will work on a bigger stage. he seems to fit into more of a zone-cut blocking system so i'm curious how he'll be used by Canada and company

i don't know if he's a guy who will be patient and wait for trash to clear up to find his hole but he looks really dangerous if you can get him a lane into the 2nd level and let him turn on the turbo boosters

that is actually a really good comparison

they both run weird and don't look that fast but then run by everyone

this kid reminds me of Todd Gurley. He's got that long stride and is incredibly smooth. I hope he ends up a tiger

I'm positive we don't break even between TE and CA.... I say this because we get a back that is even with CA right now, but with WAY more upside. TE will be a star...
