Miles recruiting Miles: Les missed one son, wants Ben - Shreveport Times
BATON ROUGE – LSU football coach Les Miles, one of the best recruiters in the nation for the last decade with the current No. 2 class in the country by Rivals. com, was unable to convince his eldest son Manny Miles to come to LSU, so he has cast a net for son No. 2 Ben Miles. Manny Miles, a former quarterback at University High, is on the North Carolina football team as a preferred walk-on after turning down an offer to be a preferred walk-on at LSU. Second son Ben Miles, a junior fullback at Catholic High, received a scholarship offer on his 17th birthday on Monday from LSU recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson for the class of 2017. Miles (6-foot-1, 215) is listed by Rivals. LSU is Miles’ first scholarship offer. “It’s a wonderful thing,” said Coach Miles, who often talks about his four athletic children to reporters. “I see a guy that’s as pleased as he can be and recognizes the great strength that LSU has,” Miles said of his son Ben. Certainly, he’s very humbled by it. ”. Ben Miles has not yet committed to LSU, but his father feels he has an advantage with the fullback’s family. Miles also has an advantage in securing Ben’s signature over other schools. Source: www.shreveporttimes.com
