Did the other snapper get recruited by other schools and was he even rated nationally? I think he is a walk-on brought in for depth. I'll take our only legitimate snapper a few months early just to get him the extra practice than to chance him no being fully ready for the fall. Miller wouldn't come close to starting for LSU any time soon and there are guys who would be ahead of him on the depth chart. I'll have to side with the staff's decision on this one.
Boudreaux was on the team last year, so apparently he's a good enough long snapper walk on to make the team 2 consecutive years. I'm pretty sure we would have gotten by just fine this spring with him and getting Ferguson in the summer so we could have had Miller on campus and in our strength and conditioning program for OL. It's not like Ferguson needed that. A long snapper and his punter/holder only need so much practice to get their thing down pat. Could have easily done that in less than a week in the fall/summer.

We had 3 deep snappers graduate from last year. Our backup long snapper is actually seth fruge
Being a long snapper isn't as easy as you think. Imagine a last second field goal to win a game in front of 90K people, or punting from inside our endzone. The pressure can be immense, even for deep snappers.
