Too much smoke to really be nothing but these rumors could very well be coming from his brother leaving Indiana and people running with that by checking to see if Gunner is at LSU. Gunner not being at LSU then would lead to all the pure speculation that is going on now. Every linked "report" of Gunner decommiting is based on the same source from earlier but on steriods because the national guys started tweeting shite. It's not a case where multiple sources are reporting it. It's just 1 source leading to a massive trend around the twitterverse and blog networks. This is the problem with mass communication and social networking.

The bad part of all of this is that LSU fans are a little sketchy on believing LSU sources because of the Collins thing which they couldn't help. There is no way Farrell or anyone else has a better source at LSU than TL,Shea and DP. They've been noncommittal on Kiel being expected at LSU so for now the smoke has to be regarded as legit.

What the ND boards saying?

The one I check 2 hours ago was like "I'll believe it when I see it"

I don't think Farrell's sources on this come from the LSU side.

If Kiel doesn't want to come here, I am not going to freak out. We'll just get another good QB next year. We have 2 years from Mett. Randall and Rivers will have been 3 years in the program by the time they are needed. It's a pretty strong position as it stands now.


Landing a quarterback isn't easy. Randle is a total question mark as is Rivers. Mett could crush it next year and leave. I never expected Brockers to be gone, but he is.

As we have seen, a lot of crazy stuff can happen and your quarterback play can kill any title hopes, as evidenced by this season. Nothing gives me any confidence in anyone on our roster but Mett. We needed Kiel, this sucks, and finding a replacement isn't really a viable option at this point.

No, its more like I am not going to cry that a kid changes his mind for what he thinks is best for him. LSU can recruit whoever the hell they want. 3 highly rated QBs on the roster. You don't need a 5 star guy to win. If Kiel doesn't want to come here, I am not going to freak out. We'll just get another good QB next year. We have 2 years from Mett.

Stop, just stop it right now. We will not have rational well thought out opinions here. You will react in a knee-jerk fashion and you will do it right now sir!!!!

So this meant you really want(ed) him Adam?


You quoted me as saying that I think he is good but that I agree with the portion of his post that 5 star qbs are a headache because fanbases build them up so much when at that point they are still 18 year old high school kids. Where in that does it imply that I dont want him? Do you not agree that the fans wont bash Miles if Kiel gets on campus and then Rivers starts over him? Its purely an indictment on our fickle fanbase. Has nothing to do with Gunner Kiel

Taken in the context of your response to Lester, it read as if you would just assume not have the headache of hearing from our fans unrealistic expectations.

Fair enough. Our fanbase is miserable.

Farrell's tweet about Kiel being expected at LSU cited a LSU source. Where else would a LSU source come from if not LSU?

The difference between these rumors and the locker room rumors is that we can prove Kiel isn't on campus and wasn't at the meeting. No one can prove that a fight took place. Everyone,including the rumored participants, denied it. So no not as credible.

Not very kind to the family I'd say by the looks of Shea's tweet

Making the game and losing was worse than never having made the game in the first place.

Kiel family had 2 kids recruited before Gunner. They know the process. Seems odd that rumors would swirl and they wouldn't squash them.

Don't be so sensitive. He said the family understands the process so for this to occur without something going on is unlikely. Logical tweet is logical.
