I did the numbers back then, the production on both sides of the ball was roughly 50/50 between Saban and Miles recruits.

Why was this ever a discussion?

No one doubts Les's recruiting chops. What is called into question, however, is his ability to develop talent.
Given the small timeframe the starters from '07 would have actually spent being coached by Saban or his assistants, the influence that they would have had on those players is tenuous at best.

Thus, although they were "Saban's recruits," they were without a doubt "Les's players."

It's so stupid.

HS football in LA around that time was at an all-time high and has continued to be so.. regardless how poor LSU played before, the turn around was bound to happen.. as most of these players were coming to LSU.. considering LSU is the only major college in state..

Any ways.. the players from Saban's final 2 recruiting years that were still around for the 2007 season. Keep in mind, not all Seniors were his as some were transfers.

Matt Flynn (qb) Tyler, TX
Early Doucet (wr) St. Martinville, LA
Keith Zinger (te) Leesville, LA
Mit Cole (te) Picayune, MS
Jacob Hester (rb) Shreveport, LA
Quinn Johnson (fb) Edgard, LA
Shawn Jordan (fb) El Paso, TX
Herman Johnson (lg) Danton, TX
Carnell Stewart (rt) River Ridge, LA *recruited as dt
Will Arnold (ol) Centreville, MS
Max Holmes (ol) Baton Rouge, LA
Brett Helms (c) Stugart, AR
Ryan Miller (c) Lake Charles, LA
Tyson Jackson (de) Edgard, LA
Kirston Pittman (de) Reserve, LA
Tremaine Johnson (de) Galena Park, TX
Glenn Dorsey (dt) Gonzales, LA
Marlon Favorite (dt) Harvey, LA
Luke Sanders (lb) West Monroe, LA
Chevis Jackson (cb) Mobile, AL
Jonathon Zenon (cb) Breaux Bridge, LA
Craig Steltz (s) New Orleans, LA
Curtis Taylor (s) Franklinton, LA
Harry Coleman (s) Baldwin, LA
Patrick Fisher (p) Hyattsville, MD

Ryan Perrilloux was a Miles guy. We wouldn't have been there without him.

It was more than that. Saban developed a culture of winning at LSU that permeated throughout the locker room as well as through the fan base. Its not just about his players but the attitude that was developed over the years he was at LSU. He makes people (players as well as fans) expect to win and with high expectations come results when you do the work it takes to be a champion.

Be thankful for what he did at LSU and be thankful for coach Miles. Les Miles is a good coach and a great person. I wouldn't mind at all if my son was around a man like Les Miles for three or four years of his life. Les is probably a much better person than Nick Saban in my opinion and he would probably be a lot more fun to hang out with on a fishing trip or at the hunting club. Saban just is what he is and that is, a winner! Saban is rare and right now we are just fortunate that he is at Alabama but he will be gone before long.

Perilloux would not have been if we didn't have Miles

with no Perilloux we have no QB in the SEC Championship game and we lose

so we never make it to the BCS Championship

Your analysis can stop there

It doesnt matter. Every single player on the 07 roster spent more time under Miles than saban.

The '07 team lost 2 games. Therefore none of those players were Saban recruits. No way Saban recruits lose that many games in a season. Right?
