You are better than this.

Good luck to the kid.

I hope he does very well. My comment was more about The Rant than the player. Seems like people think that just because something is new then it's going to be better. This is a good example of why the wait and see approach is a good one.

If he was all conf and a biltnikoff semi-finalist, he clearly deserved the hype.

He did all of that against shitty defenses and a lot of people tried to bring that up before the 2018 season. He obviously didn't deserve the hype if he didn't produce for LSU.

I dont see why you're laughing. Kind of makes you seem like a piece of shite.

If laughing at The Rant makes one a piece of shite, then we are all gigantic pieces of shite.

Someone said Giles messed up his quad/hammy back in spring last year and he wasn't the same player at all, explains why he struggled so much last season.

He looked injured. He didn’t even look like a D1 player last year

He did not. But if that was the case you have to think the coaches would be pumping his tired a year out so he won’t transfer.

If he never recovers that’s a bummer.

Best of luck to him. Represented the Tigers with class. He just had a talent issue.

For the sake of his future, I hope this is the reason he struggled.

I wish I knew more about this. He had no speed.
I can see our coaches thinking they needed him to play the first four or five games, even if further injury was possible, because we had so little experience at W.R.
Under this scenario, he might have paid a price to be a Tiger. Hope not.

was the coaching staff and the fans that expected that his Tech numbers would just magically translate to our offense.


Exactly, he wasn't the one saying no one could guard him in practice. That was the coach and the Ponamsky shills.

That's why Eaux has two 5-star recruits from California on campus this weekend - one who is the top rated player at his position and is already a commit.


Because LSU has never had five stars on campus before. Hell, LSU never signed the #1 player in the country, oh wait... None of this is new. Ed Orgeron is finally living up to his recruiting abilities.

You always seem so insecure when it comes to Orgeron. Really strange.

And yet here we are again eating up the Brady hype
Brady? Not so much "Brady", but the offense he brings that is killin' it all over college football.

Can’t blame the kid. He was not going to see the field this year.

Is this the most overhyped player by The Rant that actually played?


That would be Travonte Valentine or Drake Davis.

All of college football is not "killin it" with RPOs.

It's like anything else that's ever been the trendy offense. Some teams are great at it, most have mixed results, and some suck.

You know what's impressive? The guy that starts whatever the next trend will be.

It just wasn’t a good fit. Good luck to him.
