re: Miles and Recruiting

Not to mention, from what has been said. Miles players love him.

Yeah, top-flight Louisiana talent going to LSU is definitely not a given. A lot of LA natives, who are now studs in the NFL, went to school out of state. UTA, FSU, UTK, Michigan, the U, etc. used to carve up our top talent amongst each other.

Respectfully, Dinardo did not bring in talent anywhere close to the level of Saban.

Miles recruits very well, but does he really recruit to need? He goes two years without getting a quarterback(I know perriloux screwed them, but they should saw it comming.), 3 years without a true fullback, didn't go after a true center and the next issue is gonna be at WR and TE. RR ,TT and thats about it for next year. He does a good job of getting points on rivals and scout, but he isn't getting the players he needs to run his system. You would think we would have 3 solid fullbacks and 2 solid centers instead of 2 young inexperienced centers. Miles wants to run the I-formation and pound it out, but he recruits like he wants a all out spread team. I think there is definitly a conflict of interest or poor planing.

Have you seen Crowtons offense lately? Really? We are an I-form team?

Alright.. well how about:

Jon Alston Raiders.........

And none of these were playing when Miles was here. So what is your point?

Huge difference between recruiting talent and recruiting talent for need.

While Miles is excellent at landing highly rated recruits, the jury is out on whether he is recruiting based on need and recruiting the players for the types of offense/defense he ultimately wants to run..

Do these recruiting services take into consideration whether a school signed players based on its needs?

---

No. Just based on their rating, which is across the board.
