re: Orgeron won the title with Les Miles' players

Off the top of my head... Cushenberry, Ferguson, Pettigrew, Campbell, Dillon, Sullivan, Lawrence, Divinity, Anthony, Fulton, Logan and Thornton were the only players Les signed. Few others like CEH and Delpit committed to Les but O was the recruiting coordinator on that staff.

5 of those were clear cut starters and Ferguson was the long snapper.

O’s litmus test: find a new long snapper

That was the 2016 class. Coach Miles was fired on 25 September 2016. Signing date was 1 February 2017, 4 months and 1 week later. Coach O held that 2017 class together and I would say that is his Class. He was Interim coach, got the permanent job early December, it was basically 50/50 pro/con on this site with respect to the hire, and yet that 2017 class has already had significant draft picks and will have more next year. It has a chance to be a NFL hit rate of > 50%. Moss was part of that class as a transfer which gave it 25, but that is debatable how u would classify him.
