I'd do business with him, I'd respect him, but I wouldn't ever trust him.

It's likely etienne and this is why CEH sent his tweet out this am. Before anyone blames O, I should note that it wasn't clear CEH was 100 per cent on board with LSU. He has visited Mississippi State several times and is scheduled to take an ov there in January. The staff is right to seek out interested RBs.

Or how about CEH sends out the tweet then CEO contacts him and locks up CEH. Hold that tiger as in Hold that tiger from decommitting and committing somewhere else.

I keep hearing things like this, but Etienne is the bigger back and is much higher rated by 247. What makes you say this?




just another ranter talking out of his arse. 2 out of the top 5 rushing RB in the SEC this year were 200lbs or under. Much smaller then Etienne.

Etienne is about the size Guice was coming in

you're probably right. jimmy just tweeted "nothing new guys."

not sure why spigelman though that would be "boom" worthy

agree that both is the best case scenario. even if we landed akers. next year looks barren for instate backs to this point so take both if possible. either could possibly be better than any back instate next year.

as for why I don't see it with etienne, he looks straight line to me. don't really see the feet or the decision making skills to be more than a straight ahead back hoping for the big clearing. I'm no expert though by far as I was in the Kenny Hilliard over jeremy hill group. thought hill ran soft and avoided contact until his Sr year. was wrong about that.

as for the higher rating for etienne, he's got more ideal size and great straight line speed. the sites love speed and greatly exaggerate size

Yep. That's exactly what this is. Making CEH a priority

It would make no sense to take Edwards and Etienne. They are essentially the same back.

I disagree man. If they're both SEC caliber backs that can help our team then get both of em. Etienne looks awesome to me.

Guys, Wilson and Devonta Smith are waiting until NSD or at least after they take a few visits. They are not randomly committing during the dead period.

Wilson is literally waiting to release a top at the UA game why would he just randomly shut it down?

An hour ago, just after O. Could be him just reacting to the O Tweet.
