Zero chance Kelly thought he was a TE. If we end up signing Sampson, Brown, Parker, and one more WR, all is well and this won’t matter. Hopefully, it pushes some of Bama’s receivers down the depth chart and makes them unhappy. I’m looking at Jojo Earle, Shazz Preston, Aaron Anderson, and Kendrick Law.

quote:

“I picked Alabama because I grew up watching them dominate,” Benson said. “I’ve always said to myself, if I ever get the opportunity to play at Alabama, that’s the place I’m going to play. In my room, I had on my whiteboard to get offered by Alabama.

“I think Alabama is Wide Receiver U. I feel like every year they produce the best receivers and they always have the top dudes. It was a no-brainer. As one of the top JUCO receivers, that’s a place I’ve got to go.”

“After every visit, I’d feel good about the school,” Benson said. “I’d be like, ‘That’s a good visit, but I’ve still got Bama.’ It was always like that gut feeling, like I knew I was going to go to Alabama. Just talking with the coaches on the phone, I always had a different feeling when I’d get off the phone with them.”


He was never coming here or anywhere else for that matter.

Him coming up with this story about BK sounds similar to the BS from Aaron Anderson last year about decommitting after O was fired.

That story sounds fake AF.
Who gets that upset about a coach mentioning you as a TE.

If he really wanted to come here he could have pulled CBK aside and said “were you mistaken? Or do you really want me at TE?”

Also TE is a big position in todays offenses

Yeah, I think Benson made that up. I don't believe that story at all. Just more negative recruiting from Saban.

Who gives a shite. He isn't from Louisiana, he has nothing to do with LSU and he is going to Bama. So post this crap somewhere else. This is an LSU Recruiting Board. Not a Bama recruiting Board.

I’m kinda in the camp of it’s not impossible that he misspoke, but it would surprise me if a guy as detail oriented as Kelly would slip like that. Just seems far fetched.

Assuming it’s true, if he made a decision based on some minor slip up like that, he was never going to come to LSU anyway.

I’m fine with giving this kid less attention at this point. I’m more interested in the couple of 5* WRs were pushing hard for right now.

Benson is under 6' tall and only 185 pounds. On3

Kelly did not call him a TE.

Unfortunately, his version can be said truth or not.

Kelly responds and he'd be the "bad guy".

Wish him well but hope he's a flop @ Bama.

Yea Kelley has always been known to like his TE’s around 5’10” (maybe 6’ Tops) & definitely sub-200 lbs.
