Crazy Stats on Miles and QB Recruiting

Looks bad? No context or comparisons make me unsure.

Eta: what does the second one mean? Finished at lsu as QB?

You want to see something really nasty? Check out our o-line & LB recruiting from 2011-2014. An extraordinary attrition rate.

Miles definitely has recruited some quarterbacks that have just not been very good at all even when they went on to other schools. Needs to evaluate better. Gunner Kiel was supposed to be our Savior and he can't start at Cincinnati. Russell Shepard moved to wr. Stephen rivers couldn't play at vandy. Etc

Rettig hasn't played much at all at Rutgers and Randall wasn't much but a running QB at Arizona.

Jennings does seem like he'll do well at ULL though, so at least that's something.

QB recruiting under Les Miles (first 11 yrs): Signed: 16 Finished at LSU as QB: 3 Never played a down: 7 Left/never arrived: 10

I'm not a numbers person, so forgive my math but I'm confused:
If he signed 16, and 3 only played, that leaves 13.
Of that 13, only 7 never played a down, that leaves 6.
Yet 10 either left or never arrived?
That is -4 in my book unless I'm comparing apples and oranges to which might be the case.

RS for example, was used as WR but recruited as QB, JJ started but transferred. Those are 2. I'm probably missing some, but the numbers don't make sense, which is why I'm not much into stats.

Now, I'm an anti-Miles from way back, but Dellinger's numbers are not adding up.

Shitty QB play, recruitment, development, yes I see that and wish Miles the best on his future endeavors, but these numbers have me puzzled.

Not trying to flame or trolling, if a numbers person can "splaine" it to an old dog who learned mathematics in the 1970's, I would "preciate" it. Hell I could use those stats in another rant later on should the need arise.

What he said. The last 2 categories are not mutually exclusive.

Cameron “develops” each type of quarterback “separately,” the ex-player said, and Miles handcuffs quarterbacks when it comes to scampering out of the pocket — even in practice.

“Coach Miles is not a fan of making it up as you go,” the player said. “If a QB wanted to make a play with his feet, even in practice, Miles is not happy. That goes back to the failure to adapt to the new way. Why is he bringing in the dual threat if he’s not going to let them be ‘dual threat?' "

Ya, it's typical for 3 out of 16 to finish at the position you recruited them for, in 11 years. Are you insane? That's terrible

Thanks. I figured as much.

Thanks for the article
