re: Reuben Randle live interview coming up now on local sports

They'll get him on that Cadillac program at Auburn. He'll be fine.

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

Right, he "could" have a learning disability or he "could" just have been pushed through the system. The FACT is neithero ne of us really know, so that argument is null and void until you offer some evidence.

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

Again, any evidence to this?

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

---

Look, I am sure he wanted to go to LSU, and I am not saying he even likes Auburn, but maybe he realized that Auburn gives him the best chance to play on day 1, which is the truth. I think going to Auburn might be better for him in the long run than going to LSU even though he may have wanted to go to LSU.

Go to LSU and sit the bench for 2 years, finally get a chance when you are 22 OR go to Auburn, have a great shot at playing the first year, hopefully tear it up, declare yourself for the draft and play in the NFL when you are 22.

You must know the kid, huh?

Benton did NOT deserve this!!! I'll feel dirty about this one for a while!!

How do you know he didn't deserve this? You tell me what the reasons are that Randle couldn't coexist with Benton. Please explain it to all of us.

Why was it cool for Luther Davis to go on a visit in Alabama, against the wishes of the coaches, and have his scholly pulled, but a travesty when the same happens to Benton?

quote:

---

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.

---

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.

why did benton all the sudden decide to up and visit AU after being solid for 2 years? Hmmmm there's more than meets the eye here.

I think his coach said it best, "he's talking to the wrong people" which sounds like to me he was just persuaded by the AU coaching staff. I don't feel bad for the kid, I'm just putting together what Miles said and what he did. Its clear he pulled the scholarship for Randle, but I admit there might be a hidden reason behind it.

quote:

---

Then you are NOT a true LSU fan! Why would you want an opposing teams WR to burn our defense? shite happens...if he would've qualified from the start, he would be at LSU. Oh and by the way

---

For the record, I didn't post that.

quote:

---

Whatever the reason, you are asking Miles to get behind a guy who is a risk to qualify, after 2 years of not qualifying, and thus ensuring that he will land the #1 prospect on his board.

This makes sense to you?

---

Does it make sense to you to let an 18 year old kid's family to dictate what one of the highest paid coaches in America does? Don't give me that bullshite. I'd rather Randle over Benton, but if it came down to honoring Benton's scholly over the pressure from the Randle's, I'd say Benton. I don't know that this was the case, but if it was, I'd side with Benton. Randle has the brighter future for LSU, but that kind of shady BS is what comes back to bite you in the arse. Benton is a good enough player to where I wouldn't lose a ton of sleep.
