Junior year (2005-06) pre-season report from Head Coach Travis Ford: "Etienne is a player I have really enjoyed coaching thus far. He is one of the hardest working players on the team. There's not really anything Etienne can't do. He can shoot the basketball extremely well, he is a very good low post scorer, he can rebound very well, he is extremely athletic. He falls in the mode of a Brandon Thomas who is extremely versatile but more athletic. Etienne is going to have a great career here at UMass. I'm really excited about him being a part of this basketball team because he can hurt other teams in so many different ways."
