He could have been good but I'm pretty positive his worth ethic and attitude is shitty.

this thread is moot point seeing that we didn't use either one.

I was thinking Benton went to Ravyille, not Bastrop.


Nope. Both from Strop city.

It isn't moot because it was a question that has an answer that isn't affected by any event that occurred in the interim.

If it were moot, it would have had to be mooted by something like we got both of them or neither of them. #TMYK

Why does this thread not have one response of yes and nothing more?

Wow this is so OL'School!!
Ok we gave Benton over a year to get his grades straight. Randle was a better receiver not worried about the rest.

Randle's dad called a radio talk show and said on air that RR wasn't going to LSU if D-lo came here. I dont think his reasoning for that was ever explained though


This is 100% fact. It was fox & friends in Monroe. I heard the interview. His dad most definitely said that. He said some things like Miles and company were pulling some bs with them....etc. Apparently they said they weren't going to take DB. LOT of the locals always thought DB had more talent than RR.....might have, but he was just not smart.

In retrospect, Miles made the right decision... .again.


I'm not sure RR would say that he made the right choice....haha...and who could blame him.

Exactly. We used him. It's arguable that if lee finished the year that RR would have been a 1k+ WR. You don't become a second round draft pick by never being used. Could he have been used more? Certainly...

That's all fine and dandy but get back to me when he gets drafted and makes more money than RR...
