My only thing is he's agree that the kid is better but why in the hell didn't the kid not play down the stretch?

The only thing I could see is that he made a determination that the light had really not come on for Harris and he was afraid that continuing to throw him out against top SEC teams "down the stretch" could have really harmed his development for the future. (I think Jennings may have been irreparably impacted by this past year). Kind of like what happened in 08 when both Jefferson and Lee were kind of ruined for the rest of their careers.

That's just my best guess though.

I have said it before and I still believe it to be the case. Les believes he ruined JL's psyche by playing him too early and he is not going to do that to a young man again; especially one who is as talented and has as much potential as Harris. His problems were mental, not physical, and playing him against Auburn turned out to be a huge mistake. I think Les saw the same thing happening all over again and knew if he allowed it to continue the press and The Rant would destroy his confidence before he could get a handle on things. JMHO
