re: Brian Kelly talks about why he called out Kayshon Boutte in the media earlier this year

Is it fair to say that we don’t know the details of the situation?

So, is it possible Boutte maybe wasn’t responding to other tactics? To me,

quote:

---

"I don't normally send messages in the media to players," Kelly said. "I usually talk to them, but I didn't know him very well. So it was the best way for me to kind of get his attention."

---

might hint that it’s possible Boutte wasn’t up for much communicating.

So he had a kid out there talking to the media, doing his own thing, not responding to meeting requests, not coming in for things, etc. Not a bad decision to call him out slightly. And it worked.

Every case is different. And Kelly said he doesn’t usually do this, but felt it necessary in this case. And I agree with him.

He saw how it worked out for Stingley….why play?????????

Just because one player tried to play through a fall camp injury and ultimately had to have surgery doesn't mean a different player in a different situation won't play at all. Where do you people come from?

Yeah I don’t think he was either.

But we can all just move on now. He made some mistakes. He had shite leadership.

16-21, is the most crucial age where you need mentorship and leadership in your life. It damn sure wasn’t Ed O. So give the kid a chance. We’ve seen tons of guys head out the door. Boutte was not one of them. Which means he’s responding. Great kid who made some misjudgments. Let’s move on.

At least if Boutte does check out during the season, we still got Bech, nabers, and the young receivers who are hungry. BTJr looked good in the spring game. Im not worried about WR. The young guys are chomping at the bit.

Bingo we have a winner. He was going down the road as a prima donna

Tyrone Prothto broke his leg in half and never played football again. What does his situation have to do with Boutte stringing us around all off-season?

Hope he does well this year for many reasons. But dont be surprised if he bails at the 1st sign of adversity sometime around mid season....pack it in and "prepare" for the draft. Hope I'm wrong but we've seen this movie before. Trend is the sequel isn't much different than the original

Coming from you I will take that as a compliment.

That’s because you’re not intelligent enough to understand what a compliment is.

You really express few opinions and just call people names.

If you don’t like being called out for your stupidity than stop putting it on display all the time.

But a quick check of your history shows your biggest melts as calling President Tate and overt racist

You, him, and everyone else that supports and propagates critical race theory is an overt racist.

When I did that it was absolutely true. Then burrow thoroughly proved me wrong the following year.

You saying Darius days would’ve been better off not coming back to lsu will never not be stupid.

You saying shareef O’Neal would be more important to next year’s lsu basketball team than Adam Miller will never not be stupid.

You will never not be stupid.

Is this take serious? With 100+ upvotes?

Kayshon Boutte was a damn gunner on punt team and unbelievable at it. As the best receiver in the conference.

Williams at Bama got rave reviews for this very act but since LSU sucked the past two years, Boutte got overlooked.

Please tell me in the 4 pages before my post someone pointed this out.
