Several SEC coaches are participating in ESPN’s car wash today in Bristol, where one of the topics has been “recruits who got away.”

For Ole Miss’ Hugh Freeze, it was Mississippi State defensive tackle Chris Jones back in 2013. For LSU’s Les Miles, you have to go all the way back to the 1980s, when Miles was an assistant coach at Colorado.

Les Miles said Junior Seau is his recruit that got away. When at Colorado, Seau’s Dad told him he talked too much.
