The recruitment of Travis Etienne


Dec 8, 2018, 12:35 PM

This is an article from the 10/13/18 Post & Courier. It may have already been posted. If so, my apologies to anyone who it bothers. I already knew a little about his recruitment, but I learned a lot more after reading this article. I am so glad that our coaching staff continues to pick up these exceptional athletes who are also high character. It's a particularly good time to be part of Tiger Nation!

covering Clemson for the Post and Courier. Probably the best beat writer of any program ( not just Clemson ) in this state.

Very well written article...

...and IT IS MIND-BLOWING that the general sports media has been so slow to acknowledge ET’s INCREDIBLE ABILITY this year.

BIG THANK YOU to Burton Burns! ??

General sports media is well aware.

Oh yes, he’s on everyone’s radar now but they kind of slow played him through the early part of the season.

Glad to see him getting some accolades, he certainly deserves them.

It was hard to follow and seemed to be written by Quentin Tarantino, making odd jumps back an forth in time. It was also disappointing that it didn’t even mention how Elliot even came to hear of him.

There is a little more to the story of ETN's recruitment. Richardson had been committed to us for a long time, but we backed off because of a grade changing controversy at his high school in Memphis. That was just before Christmas in 2016, and we didn't have another RB on our radar, but we needed one.

Bama knew all about ETN, but they thought that Akin who went to FSU was a lock for them, and they only had room for 1 RB. Bama didn't want LSU to get ETN and have to play against him. One of their assistant coaches called Tony Elliott and put him on ETN.

It was Burton Burns, at Bama, if I remember correctly.

CU beating Bama for a national championship with Etienne having a BIG day...that would be quite a story that should be told for years to come.

2017 was Burns last as their RB Coach. He is still with them as an assistant athletics director for football program. Burton was the last assistant coach standing from Nick's original Bama staff (2007 - 2017 seasons).

That's the rumor we heard and I wonder if it's true, about the hot tip from Bama?

Great read and incredible story about Alabama Assistant Coach tipping off Elliott about this great running back. Lord willing, beating the next 2 teams with ETN is gonna be "PRICELESS"!!!! Thank you God for such a special young man, and one of the greatest running backs this world has ever seen!

Cool article. One weird detail though- I am about positive ETN still had his braces last year.

I'm almost certain that is the code name for Georgia's bag man .

I could be wrong though .
