He was Texas Tech's best receiver in 2016, ahea dof 2 guys that got drafted by the NFL. He had some nice talent, injury derailed him here.

The only knock on him is that he had his shot to not only play, but to be our big dog, and he simply did not have the stuff.

I do not recall any overt anti-team or general trouble-making type of issues from him.

If he can avoid saying "by the way, the sex was never any good" on his way out the door, we should all thank him for his time and be grateful that his slot is available for the next guy up

He got a concussion in the bowl practice, but outside of that he was a complete bust

He was on the 2018 Biletnikoff Award Watch List, Orgeron wasn't the only one.

You have progressively gotten worse which is saying a lot. However, your posting style seems to finally be growing into your username. Good luck.

The best part of that whole post is the first line.
"New pass happy offense"

And some posters wonder why people are skeptical about Brady and this "new offense"

I watched his film and i don't think he will be the best receiver on this year team in my opinion. He was good for the conference he played in. I mean the spring game will tell me alot about what he has to offer but i just don't see best receiver in the country type of talk.

You said this in that thread and got downvoted to hell. Nice call though

1. It helps that his QB was Patrick Mahomes. No offense to Joe Burrow.

2. He didn’t get injured, he just sucked here.

In that offense he was in, which has seen plenty of prolific WRs of all talent levels.

Did our staff really evaluate this kid or did they look at his stats and just assume he could replicate that here?

It's actually a legit question. In 11 games as a soph Giles had 1158 yds and 13 TDs and 16.8ypc. That's likely up there close to some LSU all-time single season numbers.

What I saw in games (at LSU) was a guy with minimal separation, no burst and an inability to do much with the ball in his hands. I don't want to denigrate the guy, but there was just nothing dynamic about his game.

Also the defenses he faced in the Big 12 were a lot worse than SEC defenses. A lot of their games are essentially a shootout and whoever has the ball last wins.

What kind of stats did Giles put up in the games against Miami, SELU, LA Tech, Rice and UCF?
