re: Patrick Towles

Appreciate the analysis

Towles does NOT compare favorably to Harris in his 2014 season either. It's closer in 2014 than 2015, but Harris still looks better.

Fair enough.

But, imo, when you factor in rushing stats (e.g. Towles in 2014) and take into account that Kentucky hasn't had a five star wide receiver (or any other players) since the Nixon administration (and LSU has multiple), I think Towles compares pretty favorably.

If it's up to me (and I know that it's not), I pass on Towles. That's what my analysis shows. He's been in college for four years already. Harris has been in for just two years. If LSU takes a transfer QB, it should be someone other than Towles.

I honestly think Harris will have a great junior year and none of this will matter.

Further, I was never advocating that we take Towles, just thought it was worth discussing (and I think we have done that ).
