re: Was Miles being a great recruiter a myth?

I think he was a good recruiter but not a great recruiter. The quality of his classes seemed to be heavily tied to the quality of that cycle's in-state talent. O has proven that he can bring in an elite class regardless of that year's in-state talent.

Nevertheless, I think you're massively underselling how hard it is to get the class he got this year. That's a really good class considering the school.
