Idiots will still say Miles and Emmitt schemed to pull his scholly and rob him of his dream. . .
Not sure about the scheme part but there are 2 facts in this story that no one can logically ignore. First, RR's Dad said that he had a big problem with Benton getting an offer from LSU and stated that would affect RR's decision. Second, LSU pulled Benton's offer.
The rest is just posturing and speculation by folks trying to find comfort with the implications of the 2 facts that we do know.

According to both Emmitt Randle and Benton himself, this is what Benton wanted.
I think all parties involved acted pretty honorably.

true for some...but I, for one, have no problem with what went down. this was a case of bare-knuckle recruiting and everyone involved was using whatever leverage they had. Miles did exactly as he stated...made 'a hard fast' decision, one I'm sure he didn't want to make...but if faced with the same situation he would do it again. Nobody here wishes ill will on Benton...especially Miles.
