no one in the thread has any idea what he is talking about.
Well, Trai Turner told him to chill. Told him they'd talk tomorrow.
Tonight he's talking up Kenny Hilliard, seemed like it was a little sarcastic. He said "I wanna be like >hilliard's handle< when I grow up.
Hilliard responds with "Man chill out."
He's obviously having issues about playing time, I'm sure. Just hope it all gets worked out. He sees the rest of his boys getting playing time, why shouldn't he? ...and I understand him not getting any time, don't get me wrong.

Good lord you're number one in the nation and a true freshman and you are threatening to transfer over playing time.
He has watched other Frosh who were highly recruited at his position get PT, and its got to be frustrating.

la'el should be playing more. barksdale played his freshman year.

I'd imagine, but he has to understand that the OL is a totally different beast. He's been playing it his entire life, one would think he would already understand that.

I would much rather Shep has transfered than Collins. I watched him play last year in high school, the guy is an animal. Also, when he went toe to toe with Clowney in the Under Armour game. Clowney made plays everytime he was in EXCEPT when he went against Collins. I expected him to fight for a starting position but he will be a great player if he sticks around. I really hope he stays.

I didn't say he can't be frustrated but talking about transferring over twitter is not smart at all.

You guys keep saying he should be playing, but over who?
Faulk?
Blackwell?
T-Bob? (I realized he sucked at C, but has played well at G)
Lonergan?
Hurst?
Wiliford?

did he play on sat? if not, then he should be pissed.

yea, that tweet was from 3 days ago. everything else since then seems to be more upbeat. would not worry.

All the talent in the world combined with a shite attitude gets you nowhere. Maybe he got the message from Trai Turner and Hilliard. His last post is that nobody will outwork him.

tweetering about playing time probably bought him a lot of running time.
worle did the same thing last year and did transfer. but he was falling on the depth chart.
La'El needs to chill. His day will come.

Faulk, Lonergan, Hurst, Williford, and likely Dworaczyk will all be back next year. He will have to fight hard for PT again next year.

Twitter is a really bad thing for college student/athletes to use, as some are prone to post the first thought that pops up in their head. Would be wise to forgo the twitter thing.

good.
work more, post less.
study more, post less.

I think it could also be the fact that it'll prolly be his junior year before he gets a shot at tackle. Gonna have to compete for playing time next year at guard, and unless something happens, prolly a senior before playing left tackle.
Can certainly understand his frustration though. Hope he sticks it out.

We all say things when we are down or frustrated
Tweeting has made those times along with out thoughts public...not good IMHO

I don't feel he should start at all. I just don't see why he hasn't been on the field more at guard late in these blowouts...especially with the injuries and hobbled starters.
