Whoops. Care to explain?

For once, I'd love to hear it.

All the talent on the LSU team was developed by Les Miles and his staff. The only person to see any playing time under Saban was Doucet and Hester. The majority of the players you saw in the SEC CG were Miles recuits. The only claim Saban can have to this team is that he recuited a small percentage of the current players which all graduate in the Spring. So to say that LSU won with Saban's players is simply incorrect...

Wasn't it just shown that a large majority of those players were Saban's?

In what galaxy do Flynn, Hester, Doucet, Jackson, Dorsey, Highsmith, Zenon & Steltz amount to a small percentage of your team? I'd say that's almost all of your best players.

I won't even count the 05 recruits, who signed about a month after Saban left (Miles sure is a magician if he recruited all of those kids on his own).

2004 recruits (or earlier)
QB Flynn, RB Hester, WR Doucet, OT Stewart, OG Johnson, OC Helms
DE Jackson, DT Dorsey, DT Favorite, LB Sanders, LB Highsmith, CB Zenon, CB Jackson, S Steltz, S Taylor
P Fisher, LS O'Hair, KR Doucet, PR Doucet

6/11 offense starters
9/11 defensive starters
4/5 special teamers (I left out holder)

19/27 starters.


Just when I think you cannot set the bar even lower, you come along with something fresh.

BTW, whose players was Miles playing with in those previous 10 win season?


Note, I don't subscribe to this particular disclaimer of Saban's recruits. But trying to pretend like his fingerprints are not on this team is pretty TO-esque.
