why are we still arguing it, if Benton doesn't get through the clearinghouse this year, he can just sign with LSU next year, then Randle is already locked in.

Please tell us how you would have handled it Tangerine, oh mighty one...
Held both schollies open. Talked with RR and daddy. Tel him he is the #1 guy we want. Tell them LSU is not about individuals, but about the team. Tell them we have no doubt he will make a significant contribution. Tell lthem having another stud receiver will only make him better. SHow them the WR's that have gone on to the NFL. Give just as hard a pitch to Benton. It is pretty simple.

And then you lose Randle.

tangerine,
is it hard to believe that miles just made the best decision he could make?

no, i misread the direction of his comment
i thought he was saying benton "went to" auburn yesterday without telling LSU
who knows why he went to auburn weeks ago, but who cares
on the day before NSD, LSU was in, and he was in on LSU
i don't care if he wore a "Miles is a dickehad" shirt or painted his car orange and blue last august or not

the timing of the visit and the the pulled schollie doesn't make sense for that scenario

that's pretty much it.
however, it is not LSU's fault in the least that benton couldn't get his shite together for two years even with LSU's help and support.

Coudl it be he saw the writing on the wall and wanted to have a back-up. Sounds like a guy with common sense to me.
