re: Will Russell Shepard ever be the starting QB at LSU?

“Nothing groundbreaking, but my friend regularly plays basketball with one of RS' old high school coaches. The coach keeps in regular contact with RS and often talks to my buddy about it. He said he just talked to RS a week or so ago and RS was told by Miles that he will not, in any way, be involved in the QB picture for next year. He said that RS is pissed beyond belief and still feels cheated. If there was a way to transfer with no sitting out, he'd do it. He was promised a fair shake at QB and he doesn't feel like he got anywhere close to a fair shake. I'm sure the coach is biased, but he said that there is no way that RS was having problems with the playbook. He said the kid has an extremely high football IQ and is a natural gamer. RS has never spoken bad of the coaches or his fellow teammates, he just feels like he is not getting the chance to prove what he can do."
