re: I also learned inside info on negative recruiting

My sources tell me that other coaches are using media outlets such as ESPN, WBRZ, Eagle 98.1 as well as LA newspapers to negatively recruit against Miles and LSU. It's true. My sources say that it has currently cost us the state's top recruit as well as many others.

Apparently, these coaches are showing recruits ESPN highlights of the Ole Miss debacle and how ESPN bashed Les for an entire week. They even printed out tons of Glenn Guilbeau articles and played recordings of 98.1 postgame shows, all being critical of Miles. They have the nerve to show kids clips of interviews with Les in which he is unintelligable and are unflattering to say the least. They are asking kids if they want to play "for that guy." This is killing recruiting and needs to be stopped.

The national and local media outlets need to realize that when they criticize poor LSU play/coaching and give coverage to some boneheaded actions by Les Miles, it hurts LSU recruiting. We don't need these recruits knowing the truth about LSU coaches. Let's all make an effort to inform the media that they should only speak about Les & Crowton in a positive light.

This stuff is easy to prevent. All LM has to do is:

-manage the clock correctly
-put a well prepared team on the field
-don't lose to lesser talented teams due to being out coached
-don't call a time out on change of possession
-use 5-star recruits that were the best in the nation when they signed
-don't get manhandled at the los by La Tech
-stop giving pre, post, and during game interviews or practice a lot before the interview
