yes.
I'm just saying that if you're going to say that Miles is "excellent" at player development, then you should be able to point to at least a handful of players who were overlooked, who were marginal as freshmen, but then were "developed" into draft-worthy players by the time they graduated. I can't think of any. And so far, nobody else can either.

To say that he's "excellent" is probably overstating. I exaggerated my point to Jersey, who considered Miles a failure in all aspects of coaching besides recruiting. But I do think it's apparently that he is above average at the very least.
And to be fair, LSU generally does not accept very many "marginal" players.

quote:Are you serious? Most freshman are "marginal." Very few are impact players as freshmen. Case in point, that #1 or #2 recruiting class LSU signed in February has how many freshmen playing this season? 5 or 6 out of twenty-something signed? That's all I can think of. Wait two years and see if the others are developed to a much higher level of player.
who were marginal as freshmen,
You're off base on this one, Colonel. LSU (Miles) has done a very good job of developing its recruits.
