Ed Orgeron Recruiting vs. Les Miles on Travis Etienne

I work with a lady who is the cousin of Travis, whom is now at Clemson doing good things. She started talking about how much she hates LSU because Les Miles never cared about traveling 45 min. to see TE but used LF7 as a recruiting tool to communicate with TE. TE liked talking to LF7 but really wanted the attention from the coaches. Subsequently Miles got fired but before that Miles cashed in all his chips on Cam Akers and if Miles would have just put the time in with TE he would have came to LSU.

I know this is a late post about the issue and I'm just hearing this from her and we normally don't speak. However, you can see this issue is probably why a lot of top Louisiana recruits never came to LSU because Miles never put of the time of day to care about players who actually loved LSU. I know we can't sign everyone but this is just dumb imo.

I liked Miles in some situations but after hearing this is baffling to me to think that he never once visited him at home but invited him to LSU.

She also stated that Ed tried multiple times after in home visits and phone calls to get TE to sign with LSU but it was too late because Miles did not make him a priority even when Ed was the RC.
