One strange thing about the article though is how Barksdale chose LSU over OSU, number of O-linemen in the league.

In 2007,
OSU boasted 6, none of whom were in the league for more than 6 years.
Adrien Clarke
Nick Mangold
Shane Olivea
Rob Sims
Alex Stepanovich
Tyson Walter

LSU had 7, none of whom played under Miles.
Alan Faneca
Nate Livings
Kevin Mawae
Todd McClure
Stephen Peterman
Andrew Whitworth
Ben Wilkerson

I'm going to go ahead and call BS on the reasoning behind choosing LSU. It's more likely due to the stately oaks and broad magnolias.

well, Whit did (technically). and you forgot about Niswanger. the chance to be the next Herm or Ciron was just too much to ignore.

Good call Pete. I introduced myself to him in the Memphis airport on his way down to start school. He was wearing an LSU shirt, I had no idea who he was so I asked. I asked him why LSU... he stated it was the HC, facilities... and the warm climate didn't hurt anything.
