LSU's commits, top targets give Rivals their reaction to Les Miles' firing

"I had not known about it until just now and it's just devastating me. We had a tight relationship. We talked to each other. I called him a lot and whenever he needed to talk to me he would contact me. Every time I visited there we had meetings in his office, so we had a tight relationship."

"I'm committed to LSU but I will continue to monitor who LSU hires and especially what happens with the current defensive staff."

“Some of the people knew it was coming, just a matter of when. It’s kind of wait and see. I’ll just have to see who they bring in and what kind of offense it’s going to be. But right now there’d be no reason to jump the gun or do anything crazy. I’ll let it play out, focus on my senior year and let this recruiting process fall into place.”

"It's very surprising to me and I'm trying read into more. I really want them to keep them all [the other LSU assistant coaches]."

"It most definitely shocked me. I definitely want them to keep [wide receivers] Coach [Dameyune} Craig and [tight ends] Coach [Steve] Ensminger. I've built a good relationship with those guys."

"I've heard and read about people saying he was on the verge but I didn't pay any mind to it because I didn't think so. Yeah [I'm going to keep considering them] That's not the guy that recruited me."

"Coach Miles is a good man but it was LSU'S decision so everyone just gonna have to accept it. He will be missed though."

"Heartbreaking, love both coaches and extremely close with their families. Nothing I can do about it, but just focus on what I need to do and whats best for me."

"At the end of the day Coach Miles is a very very cool person and coach that I have much love and respect for but at the end of the day I am committed to the Tigers. With that being said I will not be decommitting from the Tigers at this moment. We still have coaches in places there that I am very comfortable with."

“I am still committed to LSU and I wish Coach Miles and coach Cameron all the best."

“I just really don't know [about a de-commitment] at this point. Alabama, Michigan, USC and Florida State are the schools I’m gonna check out [in case]”

"It's crazy. It really wouldn't matter [which coaches on the current staff stay] I mean it's college things happen."

"They are still in there with my top schools , it just sucks to see him leave because he was a really good coach."

"I really don't have nothing to say about it."

"No comment."
