What everybody seems to overlook re: Miles to Michigan

I think people overlook one GLARING question: Is Miles at Michigan the same as Miles at LSU?

For ten years at LSU the knock on Miles is that he is an average coach and a great recruiter. Well, what happens if he can't recruit as well at Michigan as he has at LSU? There is a reason the SEC is the dominant college football conference. It's not because they "cheat", or pay their coaches more, or that the fans care more. It's because the highest concentration of great football talent is located in the south-southeast. Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, South/North Carolina, Georgia all produce a ton of talent. For example 56 of the top 100 players according to Rivals hail from those 8 states.

Throughout Miles' time here LSU's team has primarily made up of players from LA, TX, FL, GA. Can Miles get as many players from those states at Michigan as he has at LSU? I doubt it. Sure he would probably get some, but it's much easier to convince a kid from TX, LA, FL to come to LSU than it is to leave his family and travel hundred of miles to Michigan. Also, over the last 10 years we've seen more great players from midwestern states such as OH, MI, IL come south than I can ever really recall. For a guy that is not exactly renowned for his "X's" & "O's", it's probably a bit more difficult to win without the "Jimmy's" & "Joe's"

Miles has been great at LSU. But make no mistake, LSU (and where it is located geographically) has been just as great for Miles. There was a reason Nick Saban left a pretty good gig as Mich. St to come to a program that had only had 3 winning seasons in 10 years. He knew the great players were down here. I have no doubt that Miles could have success at Michigan. But I think people are fooling themselves if they think he can get the same number of ultra-talented players up there as he can down south.
