re: Brody Miller on Myles Brennan

Do we even know who else wanted him?

I know Bama offered him in high school.

Since we don’t know who else was eying him, it’s not really fair to say who was or was not “beating down his door”.

Moscona had a beat writer for ASU on yesterday. I think she covered Daniela back in high school, too. A few things I remember:

—the reporter really likes Daniels as a human being

—he is soft-spoken, not very “rah, rah” and will lead more by example

—his mom is VERY involved. They joked she must have had a key to the building.
But it didn’t sound like the reporter thought the mom was as terrible as most of us and everybody else who’s been around these type parents assumed. I guess his dad’s not in the picture, so Mom had to step up and play a few roles

—He was the 2nd DT QB and #35 overall prospect in his class.

—He has really good arm talent, but not elite accuracy

—Fast as frick and isn’t going to just pick up 3rd and 7s with his legs, dude can
get 30-40 yards down the field quick

—He didn’t come to LSU to not start. At all. I’m not saying Kelly officially promised him anything more than an opportunity, but Daniels and his mom are expecting to start.

—Their original plan was for him to peace out to the NFL after last year, but he had a pretty “meh” year that they blame a lot on the lack of talent at WR. He 1st announced he was going to go back to Tempe, but he waited to see what they were going to do at the WR position. Apparently Daniels (and maybe his mom) didn’t like what ASU did with signing day or the portal, so he left.

—The plan is to play 1 year in Baton Rouge and peace out to the league again.with better coaches to develop him and better WRs to throw it to, they think he’ll have a big year and declare. Which would be a big surprise (to them) if he doesn’t start day 1.

I cannot confirm if any of this is true. Moscona can’t confirm it either. It is simply how the beat writer who’s covered him and the Sun Devils for the last 3-4 years is reading the tea leaves.

Then you’ve got Daniels having only one season with a good team around him and in that one season ,as a freshman , he had probably the best freshman season in pac 12 recent history . That season he had 17 tds to 2 ints and also ran for a lot of yards.
Since then it’s been covid and then this past year they ran him a lot because they had no receivers. He had 700 yards .

I mean they were 8-5 last year.
Y'all are making them out to be horrible. He threw for 10tds and 10 picks.

He only threw for over 200yards 5 times. He is going to have to come in and win the job.

he’ll screw himself if he doesn’t get the job

I mean at some point the dudes gotta actually WIN the gig by out-performing the other guys. Yea?

And he has the spring to do that. He can choose to compete in the fall if the competition is still going, but he runs a risk. It’ll be up to him.

What does Brody Miller actually know about the situation ? He is just giving us his opinion and now has no more inside information about the LSU program than you or I! This staff is very tight lipped compared to the previous regime, partly because they dont know much either until they get them on the field in a structured practice.

Brody Miller should just say "I have no idea", but wr live in an era wnere people have to make uninformed statements because that is their job.

Myles is the starter until you hear otherwise.

Makes me wonder why they didn't go after a qb sooner.
