A scholarship is like a job, you have to earn it. If you don't you get dropped.

Maybe Chris should have stuck to his commitment to State from the beginning. I guess since his explanation was that "God led him to LSU", God also led him to Northwestern St and UMiss. Boy, he has screwed his dad when it comes to the Mississippi State fan base, where he was a major player. Now he is persona non grata at State.

Interesting quote from Ciron Black's Facebook status: "OTL good this morning. Do your thing Chris."

It looks bad on Miles. ESPN is out to get him.

Wow! Just saw the story. Why ESPN singled out LSU is ridiculous...maybe because it sure looked like the Garret's have some money. This happens all the time - kids cut to make room for better players. That's life - people are fired to make room for more talented employees. This is a big business and this kid coouldn't make it as an LSU QB - plain and simple. Probably a good guy, good family but the reality is this - if you can't beat out J. Lee and J. Jefferson - you're not needed on the LSU roster, at a big time football program in the SEC. Sorry but that's how life is in the real world. ESPN needs to get over the fact that Miles made them look bad and stop the hate on LSU...just ridiculous.

If you get an academic scholarship and you underperform, doesn't that get taken away as well? If they want it to be a guaranteed 4-5 year scholarship then change the rules.

I tend to agree that Miles counted on Zach Lee being in the fold at qb when this decision was made .

Here is my 2 cents.


It is not LSU or Miles's fault that Garrett couldn't handle the 'Freshman 50.'

I would think there would be more interest in focusing on the Senior from Miami that started 17 games prior to losing his scholarship than a redshirt Soph that never played.

The story about Garrett not performing to expectations started in March, three months before his scholarship wasn't renewed.

Over-signing isn't a good practice, and it's not fair to the kids. But that story should have put more focus on the Miami situation and Houston Nutt's 37 recruit class than LSU's third string QB.

Coincidence or just lucky OTL timing, Garrett waits until he can't even bump Tara's Paul Harris from playing time at NW St, to address this.

True, or not, the young man needs to take more personal accountability as to where and why his QB skills and maturation process at such, currently reside.

I can't even believe ESPN ran with this story. My friend on the team was amazed with the amount of bullshite.
