Has anyone heard anything about him? Is he just going to spend the rest of his career at LSU riding the pine?

Seems so. I don’t see him getting reps over Jefferson jamarr and marshal, not to mention some vets we have coming back.

He had his moment to shine and it didn’t work out. He is a perfect example of just how f’ing bad the big12 is at defense

Hope he gets one TD on senior night against A&M.

Hopefully he comes out and kicks butt this season.

Ain't his fault they kept running him out there.

Giles seems to highlight how terrible defensive players are in the B12.

He screwed himself out of being drafted and a lot of money as a consequence. He could have stayed at T. Tech, got 1,000 yards receiving last year and this year like he did in 2016. I'm not saying he would have then been a high draft pick, but it would be hard for people to ignore a guy who averaged more than 1,000 yards his last 3 years in college, system notwithstanding. Instead, he came to LSU, played great in practice, then got exposed going against actual defenses. Now, LSU isn't an offensive powerhouse, but we (and him) were convinced he would be a force to be reckoned with.

The reality....was much different.

I feel bad for him.

He would've been exposed at some point in the draft process.

Well, that's all hindsight.

I didn't see very many people say that he'd be a bad fit at LSU.

Apparently he's walking in drills that there "ain't no walking in."

Saw a practice video where Ensminger lit "12" up for walking in his drill.

I'm just surprised how the coaches were so high on this guy and he didn't do anything at all. Maybe he's a great practice player is all I can figure! Wish him the best of luck wherever he decides to play this year.

He is going to catch an eight yard pass over the middle to seal LSU's victory over Alabama in November.

I’m really hoping he has a stellar season. I feel for that kid man. Came in with all the hype and he simply wasn’t good enough. I’m hoping he becomes more explosive in the offseason and can get of the line better this year. If he got some real quickness, he’d be an animal imo

He's pretty good evidence of why you can't take what the coach says at face value. He hyped this guy up to no end.

It is absolutely hindsight.

Still sucks for him he made a bad choice.

Hey, remember when Jordon Jefferson and Harris were dominating camp?

If our passing game has really been modernized Giles should be outstanding as a slot guy and chain moving intermediate WR.
