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...
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.

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.

It's fricking ignorant to look at a situation only from one perspective. Les Miles was in a no win situation. He did what was best for LSU...and managed to overcome a huge hurdle to land the #1 WR in the country when it seemed an impossiblity last night.
If you only consider Benton, you'll come to one conclusion. If you consider everything, you'll see that Miles made the best decision possible. There was no perfect decision.
