I'll take it by number:
1) Perriloux was kicked off the team because missing the meeting was the least of the problems Miles had with him. The Federal investigation into counterfeiting was the biggie
2) They could have sent him to James Andrews in Birmingham, Livingston himself decided to opt for the pros before more damage was done
3)Nonsensical
4) Jaime Lloreda was overrated and inconsistent
5) Vargas was a raw talent who at times could show real brilliance. He was a monster in the game against Oklahoma in early 1988 at the Lakefront Arena...also Vargas was a pretty good student academically.
6) No, cops got it
7)Jefferson is right up there despite his efforts to try and not be. Percentage wise, I think Matt Mauck was.
8)Stanley Roberts was not the smartest cookie in the pack of Chips Ahoy. Stanley liked to get drunk a lot along with Maurice Williamson. Remember Stanley was originally a Prop 8 student because he didn't have the grades to play his first year.
9)Very good question
10)Hallman could recruit very well. It was the actual coaching where he had his biggest problem. Interestingly the only RB out of that class that was worth anything in college was Kendall Cleveland and maybe if you stretched it Robert Toomer out of GA. To be fair though, Archer had gutted the program prior to Hallman's arrival. He could not recruit all that well. I think Craig Kinchen was his biggest recruit and that was it. A lot of his recruits were 2 star types at the best. But Hallman could not run a program.

Kendall Cleveland was in the 94 signing class. The 92 class was the one with all the RBs.

RB Robert Davis, Birmingham, Ala. (Homewood)

understatement of the year...I have followed LSU football for a long time and have never seen a worse recruiter than Archer.

Hell, Archer wasn't much older than the players when he was at LSU...there was no way parents were sending their kids to play for a head coach that young...
