The game of recruiting can offer fickle -- and sometimes ironic -- twists of fate.

Ben Miles is the son of LSU head coach Les Miles. A 2017 fullback recruit, conventional wisdom states the younger Miles will opt to stay home and play his college ball for his father.

However, that isn't stopping UTSA head coach Frank Wilson from going after the talented athlete.

Wilson had been LSU's running back coach, before taking the head coaching job at UTSA. He undoubtedly has a relationship with the younger Miles -- especially considering LSU had extended him a scholarship offer this past year.

Now in San Antonio, Wilson is trying to lure the '17 skill player to his new program. The younger Miles tweeted about the ordeal, explaining how UTSA "ha[s] a great coaching staff."

While this may be true, LSU figures to be incredibly hard to beat in this recruitment.
