re: What did Rueben Father say on the Radio?

wow...so much more to read re RR and it just doesn't seem to end.

Don't know if this latest is true, but I too find it hard to believe a "blame it on the coach's" excuse on the eve of NSD. RR is a great talent and will stand out wherever he goes. If he thinks the best place for his talent is elsewhere, then fine, best of luck to him. But let's not start blaming the coaches if RR does decide to go elsewhere. This class is loaded even without RR, so they are obviously doing something right.

And let's not forget, no one player is bigger than LSU football, and if RR - the no 1 or 2 recruit in the country - is bothered by a little competition, then perhaps he should go elsewhere as LSU is not lacking in talent at the WR position.

Why can't we all just acknowledge the truth and quit skirting around it?
RR and his daddy KNOW that D-LO BENTON is BETTER than he is and will prolly be our 4th or 5th WR!! The truth hurts but it's the frickin truth!!

The kid just doesn't want to earn a spot and wants it handed to him--quit fricking being nice about this and just let him go to OU where he can pad his stats--I really wish him well!!

Just stating the truth! I've listened to his dad's interview twice and he made clear buddy!! "It's a depth chart issue" "It's not fair that him and Benton have to compete with each other"

Pretty frickin clear to me--they don;t wanna compete!

Basically that RR would be competing w/ Toliver for the no. 2 WR

vs

Benton would be competing w/ RR for the no. 3 spot

Jesus Christ thats the deal breaker? How many plays are we at least 3 wide a game? 75%?

I saw both play each twice. They are both about the same talent. Both can play at the same time. This coaching staff will find a way to put them both in at the same time. But if this is a way to excuse Reuben by him signing elsewhere, then all this is moot.

Maybe Nicky hired someone who can do voices call in and say these things hoping to at least sway him elsewhere if not at bama.

Some of this stuff may have developed recently.

His dad said on the radio that what he was told was told to him on their visit.

Benton also just visited this weekend and it's possible that the coaches told him something different and told the Randle's when he got back.

Who knows......

It is also my opinion that it sounds like hurt feelings, I didnt think so at first.

I don't understand this since RR was quoted previously as saying that he would love playing along side of Julio at Bama...

I still think Mr. Randle is a good dude. Just cant understand the whole Benton angle. I would be very shocked if Rueben was afraid of any competition seeing as how he is one of the best atheletes in the country.
