O didn’t exactly do a bang up job.
How do you know what type of job was done?
Family members of Travis have said that he had moved on from LSU long before then.
Eaux did a bang up job with Chaisson, Phillips, Todd Harris, Tyler Taylor and Justin Jefferson who all committed to LSU within a week or two, IF not on signing day. Except for Jefferson who committed in August.
So maybe it really was Etienne and his having already having moved on from LSU.

This thread is so damn funny 
People falling all over themselves to reinforce biases.

You keep ignoring the fact that Clemson had just won the nation championship and LSU just fired its coach. Who’s more attractive in that scenario?
ETA: not to mention, obviously timing of the offers wasn’t a factor for Etienne.

Because I watched The kid play on TV last night and not NYD
He slow played the kid.
That’s fine.
But people pretending like O was this helpless damsel when miles was sitting at home unemployed are fricking morons.

These recruiting processes are more than a year who knows what happened in the process.
The chaos over the coaching changed ruined our chances at several recruits. The huge irrational negatives from the local:media and a small but vocal part of our fan base hurts our recruiting a lot.

You can blame Les just as much as you can blame Orgeron

Let’s blame Orgeron - The Rant
I see most people blaming both, or neither. I only see three dipshits trying to blame one of the coaches, and none of them are pointing to Orgeron.
Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?
Also, making up shite (Miles didn't recruit Etienne) doesn't make you look less dumb. Just fyi.

Wow. What a well thought out, meaningful post and contribution to the rant, just like the rest of your posts.

Absolutely. No one knows exactly what kind of communication Miles or Orgeron had with the recruits. But all the dog catchers and security guards that post here think they've got it figured out.

The funny thing is you don’t even really have to blame either one of them
They both had at least one RB rated above Etienne and slow played him as a result, but a bunch of other coaches did the same.

Wasn’t Orgeron the recruiting coordinator through all of this too?

Since I really don't know what happened, I'll blame neither.
Seems the rational thing to do

This under mines your entire argument about blowing prime recruiting years and the point of this thread
If he signed with Clemson because they just won the NC and LSU fired its coach then it doesn’t matter if Miles didn’t prioritize him now does it?

It’s a shame it didn’t work out but he isn’t in the SEC so it’s all good.

This is my impression of the whole thing. But of course Ree can’t miss an opportunity to bash Les in order to deflect any kind of blame from O when it presents itself. Sad.

Make flimsy agruments, then call people dumb when your flimsy arguments are rebutted. Typical Ranter

This is how this discussion topic normally goes:
“I can’t believe we let Etienne get away!! frickin Miles had him on the back burner!”
“Eh, it happens. A lot of other coaches had him on the back burner, including Orgeron.”
“bullshite! O made him an immediate priority but it was too late.”
“Eh, he really didn’t. He offered him three months after being named interim and a month after being named permanent HC, which was conveniently on the same day Akers picked Florida State.”
“But he called him when he got the job!”
“Cool, he slow played him and didn’t offer in favor of Akers.”
“Miles never even recruited him though!!”
“He had him on campus for junior day about 6 months before being fired. He just didn’t offer.”
Then it usually ends until Clemson is on TV again.

Miles didn’t prioritize for years, I don’t think anyone can argue otherwise.
Orgeron offered only 4 weeks after being named head coach, another unarguable point.
Clemson offered AFTER LSU, obviously offer timing wasn’t a factor to him.
The attractiveness of a national championship team versus the chaos LSU went through with two seasons of Alleva trying to sack Miles is clear to see as well.
