I think TM7 was a 3 star when he was recruited and then bumped to a 4 star when he committed to LSU.

Miles and Saban seem to have differing philosophies. Saban goes after the highest rated players and does not place the sufficient emphasis on his needs. Miles evaluates what the team needs and recruits the best talent available to fill those needs. He then coaches them up as necessary. Remember when Saban left LSU the offensive line had almost no depth due to the poor recruiting efforts at those positions. Contrast that with now. LSU rotates lineman on both sides of the ball throughout the game. The same can be said for the other positions. Our 2 deep depth chart is incredible and much better by far then Bama. That is Mile's true genius.

Yep, and Mo Claiborne was a 3 star. Was he a 2 star up until LSU took him? Who needs the fictitious #1 recruiting class title when you are getting these sorts of players who actually hurt your Rivals ranking? I'll take a top 10 class for these types of recruits ANYDAY!
