Could you cite your sources for this information?

I don't know it, that's why I used the term "appears"...I have come to this assumption based on a variety of the reports/opinions that I've read. Unlike you, I try to gather information before I form an opinion.

c'mon man, I am trying to talk to you and be reasonable, but you are talkin out your arse if this is based on an assumption. You know what they say about assuming, anyways, my comment still stands and there is nothing about me just throwing shite out there like you just claimed. The fact is Miles signed this kid with the promise of playin QB soon like after a year or 2 and that ain't gonna happen, so I would leave too.

thus, the reason I said Miles wasted 2 years of this kids life.

Nothing new going on here. Just another "hate Miles" thread. You guys need a new schtick.

Where do you get that from? Why would Miles tell him that when he already had two young QB's on the roster. I'm sure he promised him a chance to compete for a starting spot same as any other recruit.

why wouldn't he? what recruiter is gonna tell a kid that you won't get the chance to compete until 3 years down the road, they won't come, I wouldn't. RP was pissed he couldn't play right away, that's why his arse stood in trouble.

depth wise it could hurt... but dont worry about it...

this year it wouldn't hurt

next year it prolly wouldn't hurt

in 2012? we could be in a pickle

1 young QB on the roster who has legit baseball pro potential and nothing else who may be gone in a year

even if he doesn't leave, we'll have no experienced young QBs with talent behind him

we've struck out this year in terms of getting a top young QB and most are off the board

ideally you want a progression at the QB position, you want to groom incoming QB's so that they will be ready by their 3rd year in the program. Competing with an incumbent junior shouldn't even be on a freshman QB's radar screen. The bottom line is Garrett has good physical skills and was a good recruit...unfortunately it appears he didn't have the work ethic or attitude to continue progressing. This isn't out of the ordinary, it happens to players at every program, every year..

Because even as juniors, both the 1st and 2nd team QBs are still relatively unknown quantities.

Read between the lines : CG wasn't making the effort like Miles and the coaches expected. If he couldn't challenge JJ and JL at this point, good chance he was never going to.

Hey, don't tell me. All I know is that the kid's gone. The OP asked why the outcry. I gave him a reason.

Miles wasted 2 years of CG's life? I would think that maybe CG wasted 2 years of his own life if he couldn't beat out JJ and JL. He knew coming in that there were 2 qb's ahead of him and that there was a chance he wouldn't play. In his interview the day he committed he said he was pretty confident he could compete. Maybe he was wrong. Who knows. And before everyone yells give us a link, screw you, it was on tv and I cant link that shite.

SO it's OK for you to guess and make shite up about Les during the recruiting process but you condemen others for doing the same about CG.......

That's pretty weak.

ts not what String you are!! Its how you treat people and this situation was handled with "NO CLASS" by LSU and Miles. If my son was a Recruit and was looking at LSU Football he would not be anymore!!!


This happens to every team in the country every year. Other players on our team received them too. Schollies are year to year.
