There's really nothing to say. The debate about whether Miles should've taken the high road and not made a snarky comment is valid - there are good arguments both for and against. But in making a statement, the Kiels - Gunner and his parents - would just be shedding light on the sh*tty act that went down - an act the the three of them are solely responsible for.

If mama's boy Gunner cant handle the heat over a decision to come to LSU it is doubtful he could handle the Rant or the rest of this fanbase. End of story.

I'd have given the Kiel's some slack if they had at least called LSU and told someone about their decision. Regardless of his decision, they should of called before the kid hit Notre Dame's campus.

You should expect kids to do this.
You shouldn't expect your coach o react that way, espec an elite one like at LSU.

It's not like we'll ever see ND in a bowl game.

Kiel has experience in handling this situation and knows best to not respond. How many times did he change his mind and wimp out on his verbal commitment? I think the kid is going to have problems deciding which receiver to throw the ball to, seriously.

The family called me and stated that ND was always their 1st choice. They were just playing with LSU and didn't blame Miles for the comment.......

Geez put this in the stack for the shredder along with the LC, JJ vs JL, etc. New day in Tiger Land suns up and we still alive, screw those nega tigers. Get the golden chalice this season and we put all the shite behind us. We really looking good for next season IMHO.

He's 18 so he's a little more mature than Les.

Please.

Parents are invovled in the recruiting process. They could have picked up the phone and made a call. Same for the kid, who enjoyed the trips, perks and attention of a national recruit but refused to be responsible enough to inform a coach of his intentions.

More coaches need to call out the recruits and the media circus surrounding the process. The entire responsibility in on the schools and coaches while the media, the recruits and their families get off with no responsibility and all the perks.

You know its funny all the people saying Les has no class were the same ones talking shite on this kid.... Guess they are mad b/c Les has more Nuts than them..... By the way the comment wasn't that bad... it lead into him talking about big chest Liggins...

And i agree with him... You have Kiel who can't tell mom were he really wants to go cost Lsu a top oline recruit... Real classy and showed no guts... Then you have Liggins who showed Chest and guts by anounceing in OXFORD ms that he was going to Hated LSU.... I will take the kid with Chest and Guts to lead the tigers rather than a scared boy.... LSU got a man Notre dame got a boy..(not saying kiel isn't better QB but its obviouse he lacks a few things time will tell who is better.).

You mean the kinda class it takes to change your mind the night before school starts, costing another recruit the opportunity to go to the school he wanted to go to?


oh and not telling LSU he wasn't coming.

Has Gunner Kiel (or his family) apologized to Patrick Miller (and his family) for screwing him out of a early entry spot at LSU?

Kiel family has zero class. Handled this like snakes. Those of you getting your panties in a wad over our coach calling him out on such a shitty move need to get over it.

In a pep rally....to boosters and LSU fans.

The media shouldn't be privy to that.
