But in the eyes of people (and more importantly recruits) who aren't as informed about the day-to-day activities at LSU, it looks like we play favorites, no?

Well, I think hot-shot blue chippers don't put a lot of weight into what transfers say. I really don't think Amp was disrespecting Miles. He just didn't want to appear like he left LSU because he didn't have the stuff. And he didn't want to seem to still be injured either.

Hill never got a fair chance at LSU because of his injury, not because of the coaches. People are reading that in.

Question.....how did the coaching staff miss Craig Knall's talent? Look what he did for himself after he left LSU. He is in his fourth year as an NFL backup to Brett Favre. Why didn't he see the field?

Do you honestly think that Nall looked the best in practice but was third string because Jimbo and Saban didn't like him for some reason? If thats what you think you were not paying attention because Saban was here to win not kiss some kids butt.

Craig Nall sucked.

i call bs on that. its not real difficult to get 6 wr's some playing time. obviously he's not 100% according to everyone who had witnessed him running in the spring practices. he will likely never regain his speed due to his horrible injuries. just likely physically impossible.

but next year he almost assures himself of being a starter here if he shows even a glimpse of what he was pre-injury.

most all LSU fans were anxiously awaiting to see him in the mix this year yet now it was inevitable he had to leave? i think he used bad judgment all around based on the info I see.

With six WR's, some will see little to no PT, as I stated in my original post.

I'm guessing you meant to add a wink here but maybe not. At any rate, I respectfully disagree. Good talent doesn't necessarily waste on the bench. Everybody makes their contribution, one way or the other. It's a team sport. Takes lots of bodies. Important injuries we've seen in the last 10 days should illustrate the point. Can't say I have any hard feelings to anyone who wants to tranfser for any reason. Simply, I don't figure I know the whole story on any transfer. But the importance of good benchwarmers can never be over-emphasized. I know. Warmed a few. And I felt I was important at the time.

I have no doubt that Flynn would contribute in some way, but IMO that's still talent going to waste if he's not starting at the position he's best at.

I support Amp Hill's desicion to leave but i dont support an attempt for him to make it look like he wasnt given a fair chance.

It was a situation of LSU having Quality and Quantity. You are not going to please everyone.

I wish him luck at USF and most of all i wish him a college degree. That is what College's are for and if Amp had thought about it he had an LSU degree in his sights.

And during the season you know one or two of the receivers are going to have injuries and Bamm a chance to prove yourself.

Anyway best of luck and Geaux Tigers
