Leave it to the Mad Hatter, that genius- that demigod of college football, to turn a bowl loss into the greatest recruiting tool ever invented to get the nation’s best quarterbacks to Baton Rouge. Les Miles is one of the best in the business, and it ain’t just because he loves to make grass smoothies.
First, it started with Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson. The soon to be 5th year senior will be eligible in May to transfer anywhere without sitting the season. Golson was going to be involved in yet another quarterback battle in South Bend this spring with Malik Zaire whom Golson split time with in the Music City Bowl.

Those rumors were somewhat shot down by Golson himself, and his QB Guru / QB Ruiner George Whitfield:
Reports of ND QB Everett Golson and other scenarios are simply UNTRUE. I've been in close contact with him & his family & he's a Domer!

Then it starts getting around that Ohio State quarterback Braxston Miller may be heading to play ball for Miles at LSU via the 5th year transfer rule.

If one attack on Ohio State wasn’t enough, Les Miles the former Michigan Man himself, has his sights set on a 5 star Buckeye quarterback recruit, Torrence Gibson.

This is really happening. Within the past 48 hours, Les Miles is putting in that work. No one can say that Miles doesn’t know what is holding his team back. Whether it’s Miller or Golson and/or Gibson in the future, Les Miles is coming for your kids and your wife. EAT GRASS Y’ALL!
