He tweeted, "I have a hard decision to make..." I can't imagine him getting drafted, could he be considering transferring?

I would guess looking to transfer. He has a redshirt year he could use. Or if he graduates early, he could transfer without sitting out. He's a smart guy, so that's a possibility. Hope not, it would be a very bad sign.

They'll smash him like a bug. He's too finesse for college, imv.

Well, he was the highest rated dual threat coming out of HS and he has never even attempted a pass while here. He was the leading rec. in the first Bama game and he was in for 3 plays last night. If I were him, I'd do something else besides hang around this offensive gameplan.

I really feel bad for this guy. They spent two years trying to recuit him and then never play him. Don't get it.

The fact that his tweet even says that is BAD for the program... No matter how much you like this kids play, he's a leader on this team

I hope he doesn't transfer. He probably won't make an impact on the field but he is one of our leaders.

He is a great spokesperson for LSU and is a role model. Would hate to see him jump ship because our coaches are dumber than apes.

If I was Shep, I would stay. This could be the year!

Ran into him today without the team. Didn't look good. Kid looked broken and upset.

Without giving details.. He actually said/did something that displayed a lot of class when it wasn't necessary.

He is not the only victim on the bench just like LEE. Something isn't right when good players get benched and not coached up to the next level.
T Bob Hebert didn't get into the game last night and he played injured in 2 or 3 games this year.
Seems Miles dislikes him like he does Lee and Sheppard.

How do we know if this has ANYTHING to do with football? Are we jumping to conclusions?

I don't blame him one bit if he left. Miles has handled him so poorly since he has got here. We never use him to his advantage ever. Miles needs to keep his hands outta the offense. Hes clueless.

I wouldn't blame him. We didn't run the sweep play or incorporate him into our offense much this year. The sweep play worked well last season, don't know why Les stopped using it. I guess he would rather run a fb on 3rd and 3

Shep only getting three snaps doesn't bother me at all. With all the drops Shepard has had, he doesn't deserve to be getting tons of snaps over Landry IMO.

Shep has made some good catches this year, but I don't think we ever properly utilized him in the backfield, like Dexter McCluster or Percy Harvin. Les probably can't even imagine what those play books and schemes look like to make such things work.

Les' playbook started with a big dot that said #9 on it, then drew a bunch of protruding arrows all over the field from there, thats the LSU playbook.

He is fine. Tweeted me that he was graduating with a 3.2 average. His "tough decision" has nothing to do with football. I'll leave it at that.
