I don't buy your argument. Alley Broussard was a star running back when Miles took over and he, apparently, was not willing to do the things Miles asked of him and he wound up transferring after Miles' first year.
How can I buy your argument about Miles kicking people off the team when your example doesn't even have to do with Miles kicking someone off the team?

How can I buy your argument that Miles treats star players at LSU more deferentially than lesser players when you don't cite any other star players at LSU besides Perrilloux who have done anything to be kicked off the team? At least I offered an example of Miles' disciplining a star player for not toeing the line.
As for Broussard, you can say that he was de facto kicked off the team because he knew he was never going to see the field again at LSU. Broussard did not break the law or skip class, he apparently was not rehabbing hard enough or working hard enough to suit Miles.
That is the only example I can provide of another star playing at LSU running afoul of Miles besides Perrilloux because Broussard is the only player who comes to mind. If you know of other star players at LSU during Miles' tenure who deserved to be kicked off the team, then name them.
And it is kind of a circular argument. I think Miles is the type of coach who is not going to start guys if he does not trust them. Thus, it stands to reason that most of the players who have been kicked off the team by him were not star players because they had not seen the field much due to not earning his trust. So, they could not develop into star players.
