A thought on why Miles recruited Perilloux
Posted on 11/29/08 at 10:44 am

When Miles was hired at LSU Perilloux was committed to Texas. He committed to Texas while Saban was at LSU. So, did he turn LSU's offer down or did Saban not recruit him because he knew he had character issues?
I'm wondering if Miles recruited Perilloux and overlooked the character stuff because, as the new head coach, he needed to make a "splash." Signing Perilloux did that. As I recall, he was one bright spot in an otherwise average recruiting class.
Thoughts?

Saban told us in fight club he had major attitude problems and wasn't worth the headache.

Little secret. RP was going to come to LSU even if Saban would have stayed.

saban recruited him. RP did not like saban

Saban didn't recruit him.
Ding Ding, at least somebody here gets it. RP was constantly in trouble in Laplace and there are many stories that people don't know about.

I think it had something to do with him being one of the top qbs in the nation

RP had no character issues in High School.
I'm pretty sure Miles recruited him because he was the No 1 player in the nation .
You know, it is possible for an athlete to pick Miles over Saban.

RP and his family did not like Saban. RP changed his mind after Miles arrived.
Sheez, the crap keeps getting deeper and deeper. It's amazing how we are now Thug U and our guys have character issues.

So Miles didn't necessarily sway him?

nobody on this damn board has a fricking clue
I always love the short responses like "he didnt recruit him" acting like you know a fricking thing.

So the fact that he got kicked out of John Curtis had nothing to do with character issues

I'm not suggesting that Miles overlooks character flaws.... just saying he may have taken a chance on Perilloux to sign a "high profile" recruit in his first year. Maybe that didn't happen.
I know that Dale Brown often recruited kids that were good athletes but had questionable grades or character. ie... Dewayne Scales...

Every single tiger fan wanted to sign Perilloux.
The guy was given an offer because he was the USA Today player of the year and had offers from EVERY school in the nation.
People easily forget how upset Texas fans were and how much of a coup it was for Miles "to keep the best talent in state."
To say that we should not have offered him today is VERY hypocritical. There is no way anyone could have seen his future problems coming.
Quit looking for things to blame.

Saban was ABSOLUTELY bargaining with RP. Miles just took up the game.
