is there anyway that a recruit like buga or even a better one down the road only would sign if he got 18 do you think miles would let him have it, and if so would you approve?

No and no. You earn the number, it's not a handout to some diva recruit.

I guarantee you if Leonard Fournette said I'll sign on the condition of wearing #18 my freshman year then he'd get that number. It's a complete hypothetical because Leonard isn't that kind of kid, but had it been "18 or I'm going to bama" then he would be wearing 18. Les mentioned Fournette at the 2013 recruiting banquet.
I know it's a special number at lsu, but you're kidding yourself if you think in this scenario he wouldn't have gotten the number. LF is the only kid I can think of in the last decade that Miles would do this for. I'm not saying he'd do it for any ol 5 star, but they had all their eggs in the LF basket, didn't take a back in the previous class to better their odds at Fournette

Why would an LSU player want to have 18? thats Peyton Mannings number.

The jersey itself is reserved for a senior, so nobody but a senior can get it.
Bennie Logan was the only non "football" senior to get the #18 since it really started. He was a redshirt junior though, so by academic class, a senior.

I think it should shift to a defensive number. Every player that gets it on offense underperforms since Hester had it.
