LSU already more that made up for it last year by having a record shattering class when it came to the number of states we got recruits from
More evidence that Les and Co have turned it up a notch the last couple of years and are really doing their home work. No one is on this guy yet, but Miles is on him a year ago? He didn't get an offer as a first year football playing sophomore without being loaded with talent. Miles and LSU don't have to settle for left overs, they are among the nations best. If Miles offered him last year, this kid is the real deal. He may be raw and undeveloped, but the talent is there. Year after year Miles recruits against the best coaches the NCAA has to offer and he has held his own. He has many faults as do we all, but his recruiting isn't one of them. He gets grilled about his head to head recruiting losses to Saban, but tell me what coach goes head to head with Satan and does better? If Cam can turn the abundance of talent into a top 25 offense the next ten years could be even better than the last 10. As someone that survived the late 80's early 90's that's saying a lot. Winning the SEC has become harder than winning the national championship and this is now a staff that has the potential to do both. Please Cam please, be the one! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...gers-add-talented-wr-to-2014-recruiting-class . . .
