His high school coach is leaving out one part. Quinn was getting very confused at linebacker. He was not picking up Saban's defense. I remember this like it was yesterday. He wasn't playing there for a reason. Anyway everything turned out for the best. Tyson and Quinn were at the highest 2 to 3 star players because of the small school stigma. It was Saban that saw past all that. It was Saban who signed them not Les. Saban saw their talent. Les took advantage of it.

Not like they were unknowns. Jackson had an Oklahoma St offer and other D1 offers and sounds like Johnson was on Miles radar.

Interesting.

It looks like Les was actually the one that knew what he was looking at when evaluating these guys.
Under Saban you get a confused lost in the shuffle kid heading nowhere.
Under Miles you get a kid placed in position to excel who's going to the SuperBowl with a great NFL salary.
Les win. (well, more like Quinn win)

There is nothing wrong with your memory - it is your comprehension that is at fault.
The snippet clearly mentions that Les recruited Quinn and that too only at Fullback.
But hey it is so much easier for you to be typing out crap about Les

The point is Saban, who was known for moving players to spots other than what they were recruited for, missed the mark on QJ. Can't win'm all. Les got it right. Same with Barksdale and likely with Copeland.

Saban saw their talent.
Miles had recruited Quinn when he was at Oklahoma State to play fullback.
Even CLM finds a nut now and then.
