How does it feel to make your decision today?
It feels good. It feels good to get it over with, maybe now my life can get back to normal like it was before all this drama began. It's good to be a Tiger. LSU is the place I felt most comfortable going into today. So I rolled with that and hopefully I made the right decision.
Can you tell us what it's been like for the past week in terms of phone calls, coaches and the pressure you've had on your shoulders?
It's been tough you know. It was a tough decision determining which college was best for me. I talked it over last night with my DAD. The whole thing came down to where I would feel most comfortable and what was the best situation for me and that's why I chose LSU.
What did DeAngelo Benton's decision have to do with you going to LSU?
It had a significant impact because I felt like me and DLO shouldn't go to LSU at the same time because 1 of us wouldn't see significant playing time. So I felt like if one of us went there, the other should go somewhere else so we could both be on the field as much as possible.
How excited are you to be a Tiger and go and play in Death Valley in front of those crowds?
I'm real excited because that's something you look forward to with the atmosphere at LSU. You want to do the best you can and make the best impact for your team. I just love the game of football.
Well Reuben isn't the only one making news today, let's look at all the others that signed on a busy NSD.

Just doesn't add up. The Randles knew for years that Benton was going to LSU. If Les caved and pulled Benton's scholly because of this sudden pressure, then that's complete bullshite on his part.

Aaron Dietrich is such a douchebag!!! Hey Rueben go out for a 3ft. pass!!!!!! haha Thank GOD he caught it, if he wouldnt have, everyone who didnt keep up with recruiting would have been saying he was overrated!!!!!!

If this is true I do not like the fully qualified comments by Benton's coach. It sounds like he sucked it up for the best interest of LSU.

Who cares Benton already had 2 shots to be a Tiger. Is it Les's fault he couldn't qualify twice? Good luck to him, but it's time to move on...

They come back and he's asked about high school baseball.
"You saw how fired up Les Miles was right there. You're buddies with a lot of those guys that signed with LSU today. What do you think this recruiting class can do from here on out?"
If we have focus and commit to being 1 as a team there is no limit to what we can do because you know there's a lot of talent this year and I believe you know that if we go on and do what we gotta do we can make a run at a national championship.
Reuben your cell phone bill this month. (Reuben smiles) What's your dad have to say about it? Is it through the roof?
Well you know it's kinda crazy but I'm gonna leave that up to him.
Don't call Reuben anymore alright?
Yeah...chuckles
Then Dietrich wants to be the first to throw a pass to him as a Tiger so he throws a 3 foot pass to him and the segment ends.

So Les tells parents that he wants to give their child an opportunity to play for LSU and get a great education, but he only means it if they get in right away? Benton could be lazy, or Benton could have learning problems. I'm not defending him for not qualifying, but the guy had an offer for two years only to have it yanked because of pressure.
It's bullshite.

Offers get yanked everyday.
Les has to do what he feels is best for the program.
It's not like Benton didn't have the chance to sign anywhere else. He gets a college education . . . at Auburn.

I think Rueben is definitely the better of the two, but I do think that Benton got the raw end of the stick here

Exactly, he had an offer to one of the best programs in the country, and he already had 2 shots to get his act together. Who says he would not have failed out, or been another Perriloux situation. Also, who said that Les pulled the scholly? Maybe Benton didn't want the competition and thought it was best for him to move on. He is what 20 years old now, so odds are he wants to play NOW. He can go to Auburn, play for 1 year and become draft eligible, so maybe Benton decided this on his own.

That's called burning bridges, and it is going to be a great tool for schools to recruit against us.
Urban Meyer: "Hey have you heard of DeAngelo Benton and Rueben Randle before?"
5* WR: "Yeah, the two WRs from LA that were going to LSU?"
Urban Meyer: "Yeah well, Coach Miles yanked DeAngelo's scholarship to make Rueben's parents happy."
I know it's not exact or anything, but stuff like that is going to happen. shite's just not right.

For all you know, his "act" could be a learning disability.

Common sense from reading and listening anything people have said the last two days.

Benton has wanted to go to LSU since late 2006, so I seriously doubt he decided he liked AU more in the last week.

So would this learning disability suddenly disappear if he enrolled at LSU?

Les did, in this evening's press conference, when asked if Benton had a scholarship offer this morning, Les said "no"

After seeing all the RR fans from Bastrop post on here, I was surprised....
I didn't think thay had that many computers in Bastrop.
