re: Miles recruiting prowess

Billy Cannon wouldn't have been able to run behind our O-Line. The O-Line and the coaching of same was the problem. I read in the paper that Stud told Miles he was going to worker harder next year. What did he do this year, sit on his butt? Based on some of the selected starters and their performance, one has to assume he sat on his butt. No excuse for the poor O-Line performance. The blame is squarely on Stud.

I agree that the O-line was the major problem last year. I wondered all season whether the problem was coaching, talent, or scheme. (I read an article by Rosetta in the Advocate that contended that Crowton's scheme might have been too complicated, not only for Jefferson, but for the line as well.) I STILL don't know what to think about the line. Based on what I've seen Miles do with assistants, though, I would suspect that he knows what the problem was and will get it fixed this year. I'm sure that if he was convinced that Stud was indeed the problem, he would have let him go. So maybe the problem lies elsewhere...or perhaps Miles is giving him one more year to get the line fixed. But, in any case, I'll be REAL curious to see how the line is next year. I know one thing, however...no o-line, no offense.

RP would have never been an issue had LSU recruited and stocked ample backups. I still think while recruiting under Miles is stellar as far as talent, the need hasn't totally been addressed. Offensive line and defensive line, QB all have been, still are thin. Next year LSU will be deeper at all positions, so will see how that translates. I think after 2010 the origins of the problems will be obvious.

But as I pointed out, the problems caused by losing Perrilloux were not due to what happened AFTER him, but BEFORE him. We've got Jefferson and Lee (who I think could still be a good QB, if his head isn't too messed up by what happened his first year), and I believe we redshirted a QB this past year. That gives us three scholarship QBs. And we signed one of the top pro-style QBs in the country this year. So I think we're close to getting over the effects of Perrilloux being the only QB signed in at least two years (if not three...I don't remember exactly). Again, that falls on Saban.

Your wrong MF. We'll see at the end of next season who's right. Miles and the staff will be gone, yet LSU will be able to maintain the 2011 in-state recruits because its LSU, its the fricking state university. You don't know what the frick is going on.

One more piece of evidence for you... I just read a story on Rivals about the biggest recruiting disappointments of 2010. Colorado (signed NONE of the top 10 in the state), Illinois (signed 1 of the top 10 in the state), Rutgers (signed 1 of the top 10 in the state). As I said, elite recruits don't necessarily fall all over themselves to go to the state school, esp. if that school is losing.

Dont comapre the state of Louisiana to Illinois, or Colorado. People here, hs kids included are much more passionate about their state school than those other places. Basically the whole state is a LSU rabid fanbase, with the exception of a few small pockets where there is other colleges.

that's from your point of view as a FAN and not a PLAYER

Crowotn was banking on rp really bad. neither of our other qbs were prepared to play, and still are not. Lets hope experience and a new wr coach can help out the qbs

So you think some of the 2011 studs we have like Collins, Hillard and Landry are coming here because of Les. Highly unlikely. They are coming here because of LSU, not Miles, and any LSU coach would more than likely get those kids to commit here. Miles is known to be an OL coach, yet has produced one of the worst OL's in the SEC, so again, I doubt Collins or any other in-state lineman is lining up to play for Miles. LSU is going to get LA. kids with any coach. Miles the best LSU can do, recruiting wise or wins/losses wise.

you're an idiot and stop posting, your opinions isnt accepted as facts

Miles recruiting prowess
Its LSU, it aint that hard to recruit to LSU. Regardless of who the coach is, we will always get the majority of in-state talent, this has little to do with Miles. You also better have assistants who can recruit, because thats who's doing all the work, establishing relationships, etc. The head coaches just get the credit.

You are an idiot. Just ask the fans at USC, Texas, and here in BR how easy it was when none of them were winning games or recruiting battles.
