Can't say I liked this part...

“LSU losing to Alabama didn’t really affect my interest in them,” Myles admitted. “But that will be a question I will ask coach [Les] Miles the next time I speak to him. I’m going to ask him why they’ve been falling short in games and why does it seem like they’ve been wating until the last minute before they try to play.”

Damn that's pretty tough.

Yea, we're not having a great season, but I guess no other schools go through this? Bama lost to ULM last year and Notre Dame just constantly sucks now.

You know when recruits have Bama/UF on their lists along with us those coaches are telling them how the sky is falling over here

I bet they don't mention their recent 4 and 6 loss seasons though

it's easier for them with this years class to talk about how they had those bad season but "look at the direction we are going now." It's part of the game. The arguments are cyclical.

Apparently Miles didn't sell their bad seasons enough last year

I'd say we had a pretty damn strong class last year.

Good question. Maybe he'll tell us the same thing.

That's an interesting article. He seems pretty straight forward, not blowing smoke anywhere. While harsh, that sounds like a valid question for Coach Miles. And you know what????? I bet he's got an answer for Myles.

I'm not saying it was bad, but Florida and Alabama both got almost exactly who they wanted (less Bama in Louisiana, which Nick will try every year).

And LSU is damn near doing that his year. Other then McFarland and Jones, who have we missed? And we're not exactly out of it for Jones, and a good DC hire might sway McFarland to reconsider.

Well I'm really hoping he does come here, but I'd say Randle is a big possibility along with Debose.

I'd say us taking Barrow right after J.J. put us way on the backburner says we are.

I hope we at least get a new DC but I'm not counting on it.

Well I still think Bama will struggle next year with an inexperienced QB at the helm. You can pretty much look at us and realize you need a seasoned qb in this league.

Barrow is an answer to Ferrell by all reports.

And we're NOT on the backburner with Florida by any means. We're on the the front burner, just not sure if it's the right or the left right now.......if that makes sense.

I know Bama will struggle next year losing like 3 offensive lineman and JPW.

As much as we all used to rag on him he's stepped up for them this year. If he continues to play like he did last year they have 3 losses.

Or Ferrell is a done deal? We'll see. I never thought there was a high probability for Jones anyway. I'd love to have the kid, but I just didn't see it.

The same with Debose. I'll believe it when I see it. And I think Randle does end up here. He's playing out like Julio. Randle has a chance to come here and be the home town hero like Julio is there and I think LSU will be passing more in the years to come then Bama will.

Must be tough for a successful coach making 3 million a season to kiss arse.

I am shocked that you think a recruit sucks.
