I wish him the best. Looks like a done deal. Does this mean 2017 class of 28 now? Will they try to add another WR?

He must have really fallen on the depth chart. Good luck to him I'm sure he will be great wherever he ends up!

Not really. He got passed up by the freshmen. Word around the camp fire is he didn't feel like he needed to put in the work and could just get by on talent.

Not as good as advertised. Dropped a lot of balls last year. Is a high school star that didn't transfer to the next level. Good luck to him but we have plenty of freshman who are better

If this is true, wouldn't be the first, and won't be the last. Les has proved he won't put up with entitlement mentality, regardless of how many stars you had. I respect him for that.

Along the same lines I heard back in May. Heard him not grasping the playbook would be his undoing.

I hope he does well wherever he transfers to though.

Well, just in the last few years y'all have gotten:

Micah Eugene
Jerqwinick Sandolph
Derrick Raymond
Sione Teuhema

Why not one more?

A wide receiver who was at best 5th and in all likelihood 6th on the depth chart transferred. It is going to be alright

His dad came out and said he wanted to be in a more wide open offense. This is not good if we have been telling wr recruits the offense is changing and it's really not

Malachi will go pro.

Well I guess you mean one more year as in this season.

My bad if I misunderstood.

Any ways, we have such a tremendous wide receiver haul

He wanted to go to Texas Tech originally. Sounds like it was a better fit. Superior talent competing against 2 stars so he will not have to work as hard. (Assuming it is true he was not working hard. Could very well not be true.)

I don't think recruits are coming here because coaches are claiming they are "opening up" the offense. I think they are coming here because we put receivers in the league. James wright had almost no catches his senior year and was still drafted.

Remember what happened when LSU faced off against Texas Tech?
