So Benton was essentially dumped because he visited AU after we had waited on him for three years, correct?

I think he was dumped because there was a genuine fear that he wouldn't be on the field due to academics, and Randle is a much bigger catch without that problem. Risking losing Randle over Benton was not a good gamble.

Good call by the Hat IMO.

I'm OK with this. Life is tough and the kid landed on his feet. Malzahn will use him well.

What dont you guys get? Benton is a 4 star that has been out for 2 years because obviously his dumb arse didnt have good enough grades... in high school. What makes ya'll think that he would stay elligible in college? Randle is a better player as well and hasn't been inactive for the past two years. Lastly, I'm not saying this kid is a pump because I dont know him, but that is the last thing that our team needs right now.
