I agree with all of this which begs the question why do some feel the need to keep bashing Miles over this? He prioritized a higher ranked prospect, got fired, the higher ranked prospect signed with FSU, would Akers be here if Miles wasn’t fired? Who knows, doesn’t matter anyway. TE went with the hot team that just won the NC so the whole idea that he LSU blew it by not offering him sooner is either false or makes him look petty. I wouldn’t “blame” O for losing either because of the circumstances, overall he did a good job keeping that class together. I would say he was at fault for not having a better RB this season, but he corrected it by getting elite prospects this class, so no use crying over who Miles May have missed
I was going to post something similar to this. It seems silly to try and assign blame here, we fired our coach 1/3 of the way through the season, which will be a recruiting disruption for anyone.
Dylan Moses dad said on here multiple times that if Miles is here, so is Dylan. Who knows if Miles could have gotten him back, but who do you blame that on?
We tend to forget that these kids are the ones making decisions, and young kids might also try and justify their decisions when the truth is they just like somewhere else better.

But yes, visits can be scheduled "without the HCs approval". Which was your question
You come in to the thread talking about other people's biases. Then, when its shown Miles was recruiting etienne it was totally just his recruiting coordinator (Orgeron) the whole time who was probably doing it without Miles' knowledge.
You're a joke.

This is what guys like him do, they take all responsibility away from the head coach so it’s impossible for him to be blamed for anything.
You poor, illiterate kid.

I never said that, you can't read. I was showing you its possible Miles didn't know, because you asked
I said it's possible, not happened
There's not a soul in this room who knows who did what, and when.

this is the board of hindsight.
of course we all shouldve known Etienne was gonna be a stud right? how could people that get paid to coach football not evaluate every single player correctly? its not like a whole bunch of schools passed over studs like Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes, or RBs like Laveon Bell. recruiting in hindsight is one of the most pointless things one can possibly do

You're trying to paint a picture of Les Miles being clueless about a composite 4* running back and top 10 player in the state of Louisiana. That LSU's recruiting coordinator was the only reason he was on LSU's board.
That's pretty incredible, even for you.

Sure. It's totally possible Miles didn't know about one of Louisiana's top 10 players when he was the coach of LSU.
Totally plausible.

I said it's possible he was scheduled for a visit without specific knowledge because that's what you were discussing.
If you could read this would be easier.

This is a pointless thread. What does it matter? Is Etienne the only RB we regret not taking over the years?
This is how it went and I don't care what anyone else says. We had CEH committed. He was our choice of undersized backs that year. That was the reason for Etienne being backburnered. Les thought he was too small for the SEC and CEH was already in. Didn't want 2 backs he considered undersized for the SEC. Akers was our guy and he spurned us. It happens.
The Etienne excuse or hurt feelings is understandable but why did he decide t lo go to a school that offered after we did, only after losing Richardson, after only 1 visit? It's a bullshite excuse.
IIRC, there were plenty of people that were advocates of Etienne but there were also plenty of detractors. Someone on her knows how to find the threads.
Again, Les thought he was purely a speed back and undersized and if you watched last night he did nothing to change that perception. He scored a TD but he was in no way a factor in why Clemson won. Also, before this year, he would've been on the bench getting minimal carries, if not redshirting. Maybe he could've helped this year but he wouldn't have helped us beat Bama. What's the big deal?

I just read all the posts in this exchange and I didn’t get out of his comments what you did.

the big deal is they can find something else to blame our coaches for. even tho the head coach in charge of that decision is no longer here

No. What I was doing was making a point that Etienne was on Miles' radar while that other poster was trying to male the claim that Miles literally never recruited him.
Your little underhanded jab at Miles was caught and pointed out. Its particularly hilarious this was done in a thread where you were crowing about other poster's having a bias.
You really are a joke.
