The only reason that CEH got an offer from LSU is because he lived at Les's house.

Yeah 4.38 on a laser is slow

If we lose Etienne Juluke better polish up his resume. The reality is that Etienne is the most important recruit on the board right now. If Guice goes down Williams and Brousette want cut it. We would have to hold our breath all year hoping Guice doesn't get injured.

Juluke better get Etienne if he wants to have any chance of keeping his job. Coach O and Canada need to go full court press on Etienne and get him to BR before he visits College station.

This article just came out about Etienne on SEC country.

There are other running backs that they are interested in before Ettienne.

So getting them both still doesn't give us a future downhill running game,

Etienne not a downhill runner??? He amassed over 7500 yards running the veer. Over 6000 after contact. Aginst 7,8,9 sometimes 10 man boxes. Not 3 & 4 man fronts like CHS and Akers. He averaged almost 11 yards a carry. How much more downhill and between the tackles do you want? CHS yes, I can see him as more of an outside in space type of runner. He has good hands and could easily be a slot in Canada's system. Akers has all the stars and accolades and deservedly so. But there is one thing that everyone seems to be forgetting. This guy has never taken a hand off. He is a high school QB that everyone believes can become a good RB. No doubt he can run and he looks great on film when he lowers his shoulder on high school DB's. But going from 4 & 5 wide with 4 & 5 man boxes, to 7, 8, 9 man boxes geared to stop the run is a totally different animal. By no means am I saying that Etienne is better than Akers. However, I am saying that there is a lot of questions and unknowns about Akers that Etienne has already answered. I.e. Etienne has proven that he can run downhill and between the tackles.

Yes. Etienne in the middle with the olive shorts and white tights, Helaire in the back with the white shorts and Akers on the right in the black and neon shorts. Guy on the far left in the white tights is Toniel Carter. There is video somewhere I'll see if I can find it.

[quote]Etienne should be viewed as a big time back in his own right.
Don't know why the recruiting services don't exactly see it that way. At 5'10" 210 lbs, he is not a small scat back but is a full size every down type RB.


Agreed. An old friend of mine lives in Jennings and he told me about this kid. He said that Etienne had 7500+ yards on less than 700 carries for his career. Not to mention 100+ rushing TD's. This was all done out of the Veer offense. The same offense we ran in high school back in the 70's. That is basically 3 yards in a cloud of dust. They don't block the end man on the line of scrimmage. I remember our coach telling us run past him or run him over. So how he is classified as a scat back I don't know. Because you can't have that many yards running the veer as a scat back.
