It's clear you can't separate him from his brother.

Yea, I've never told anyone that I understood why Miles put JJ in against Bama in '11

JJ got arrested after he played at LSU, and this should've tipped Miles off that RJ didn't have good influences in his life. Then he gets arrested before signing day for F'ing with a cop of all things and you still take his LOI??

Imagine getting arrested during the interview process for a job. Do your potential employers still hire you?? Of course not. Yet LSU football is a business, and Miles ignores character evidence before committing a scholly to the kid. If you're saying the risk is worth the reward because he's a great player and all that matters is W's, fine, but don't tell me F'ing with a cop is understandable because they shouldn't have authority in the 1st place.

I just think it's a bad business move b/c it's hard for any red-blooded college guy to get through college without an arrest, let alone guys that have a record before they finish high school.
