re: Gilbert to transfer

Got him the ball a lot??

He was still a freshmen. Without a real offseason to mesh with the QBs. And he had 3 QBs. And he's a tight end. He was the 2nd leading receiver for LSU before Marshall (a first round pick and experienced Junior) opted out. And he may have been the leading receiver by the end of the year if he had stayed - some of Boutte's 300+ yards probably would have gone to him against Ole Miss.

Despite what he looks like 18 year old Gilbert is not yet 21 year old Kyle Pitts. I honestly doubt that the production (or supposed lack thereof) had anything to do with Gilbert's opt out and potential transfer.
