http://lsu.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=442051 (subscription) Three things stood out for me... When asked about SKyler Green, one of the things that Miles said was that Sky needs to take football more seriously... I hate to hear something like that... When asked about Al Jones and Brandon LaFell he seemed extremely impressed with those guys and it seems it will be hard to keep them off the field... EDIT: MY BAD!!! Just listened to it again and it was Xavier Carter he was talking about.. he was asked what Xavier Carter brings to the team and Miles said that "He is a big physical reciever... but (and exasperated sounding but) he needs to get it going.. get into the grove" and that he needs "to develop his work habits and his view of football"...
I agree, it would take a bunch of injuries for him to see any significant playing time and I would be shocked if he is not redshirted.
Is that 2 things?... or 3? I've heard everyone on the team has really been impressed with LaFell. I would hate to see him not redshirted though because if he's on the field that's taking touches away from alot of our other talented receivers.

If Brandon is better than the other guys, good enough to make it into the top 3 or 4...then hey, let him burn the rs. Otherwise, I'd hope he'd sit it out being the only WR from last class and the opportunities would open wide for him in the years to come.
And he didn't say anything bad about XC either, he even said he had a very good spring which surprised him. It wouldn't be a bad idea to delete this thread locoguano.
Sorry, but he did not say XC needed to get more serious as your first post indicated. which is why, in addition to saying it was Skylerhe was talking about, that this thread is very tainted. And he didn't sound exasperated at all to me as your second and correct quote said. As well as leaving out the compliments that he had for XC.
