I don't think it matters one way or another but I probably wouldnt' have said it. Say something like "we would like them to stay but if they feel they are better off somewhere else then good luck and we will move on" I woudnt have said to hell with em.
With that being said, I think sometimes the drink at these bashes starts talking because a lot of Les's comments have come at these functions. I understand that these are celebrations or whatever but you have to remember every day that everything all of us say is recorded. You dont want to p-off a guy who left the state and p-off his high school coach and maybe one day this kid is back in the state coaching and tells his players not to go there because he's upset about a coach saying to hell with him. Not the worst thing in the world, probably just needed to tone it down just a tad. One thing about Leslie, he has some great sound bytes, this "bash" is always entertaining.

Gunner Kiel's Comments in 2014
When he enrolled at Notre Dame in January 2012
quote:
"There's a point in time where young people make a variety of decisions, and for a variety of reasons," Miles said the day Kiel enrolled at Notre Dame. "The only thing I can tell you is there is a guy in the Midwest who felt staying close to home was the right thing."
"There's a guy in any number of places where the decision comes down to staying close to family or representing a stadium or team nearby," he said. "If that's the case, we need to have people who are going to be happier in Louisiana."
At the Recruiting Bash in February 2012
quote:
"There was a gentleman from Indiana that thought about coming to the Bayou state," Miles said. "He did not necessarily have the chest and the ability to lead a program, so you know," he added to applause.
Gunner Kiel's Comments in 2014
quote:
"When I called him and told him I wasn't coming, I knew he was going to be angry," Kiel told Sports Illustrated. "I know coach Miles. I have nothing but respect for him. I can't get mad about that. I honestly probably would've done the same thing if a young, dumb kid was going to come to my school and he backed out that day and ended up at another school."

We're not talking about a school like Louisville that may not have top quality facilities and a proven path to the NFL. Chances are, if a 5/4 star kids leaves the state and wants to come back to coach in high school, he will have trouble finding a principal that will hire him.
