Miles handling of Phelon Jones is commendable

From the Times-Picayune:
"Coaches often block such moves for competitive reasons, but LSU head coach Les Miles said Jones had done everything requested of him and thus deserved the shot of his choice. Jones' release was therefore made unconditional, and a spokesman for LSU said the program wishes Jones, who must sit out this season and then have two years of eligibility remaining, the best."

Probably no one would have blinked had Miles set restrictions on a transfer within the conference - but this was definitely the honorable thing to do. How often do we hear of other coaches pissing and moaning about someone transferring - and at best not letting them transfer to certain schools. Other recruits should take notice.
