Sorry, I don't know how to post a link to the audio, but I am listening now.

Click on "Fox and Company Live" on the right hand side of the page. Hope this helps.

Listen to what he says. He says that the coaches originally told them that Reuben would be competing with TT for the #2 spot but recently said that if D. Benton came, then RR would compete with him for the 3rd receiver spot.

does his daddy have a brain? coaches lie and tell kids they will be the #1 guy and bull shite like that all the time. saban is prob the worst at it. its how recruiting goes. the story could also be complete bs and an excuse to go to another school.

It's disheartening that this occured in the dead period. Now it can't be straightened out unless a text message can smooth things over.


Unless I'm mistaken, coaches can still call recruits. They simply can't meet them in person.

I would be worried about the racist call, but the nega tiger bit ruined it for you. It could be worse, I could be like you and be butt-dumb and a racist.

heard from my best friend's uncle that this was a ploy to see how the recruiting board on tigerdroppings would react. if there are enough "frick em" comments, randle intends to go elsewhere.

Too me the Dad might want to consider that the coaches aren't completely sure who exactly Benton and Randle will exactly be competing against...How can they without seeing both on campus and in practice. It would make the most sense for the 2 to compete for the same open slot as Freshmen and each get some opportunities there. Then if they are as good as advertised, 1 will slide over to Lafell's slot the next year. This makes the most sense in the entire scheme of things. Has this thought even crossed anyones mind? Much less the dad's?

Now he says, "It's not fair for Randle to beat out Benton. Benton's been waiting 2 years, now if Randle beats him, he'd have to wait 3 years." WTF man, seriously...

Why is the dad all of a sudden talking so much? It's either to build hype or because he's going to use this contrived bs as a cop out. There's really no other explanation.

Does anyone really believe that CLM would tell him that he would be competing for a #2 spot, let alone a #3 spot???



and the operative word is competing.

Yes, just replayed it. This guy sounds like he's searching for an excuse. He said Randle's not scared of competition, but he was told he'd compete against Toliver, not Benton. WEAK.

sounds like McKnight replayed. Doubt LSU was ever in it to begin with now.

If he doesn't come to LSU there is only one reason. He is afraid of the compitition?

His dad sounds like someone who is worried about more than just Benton. I'm wondering if he's starting to realize that RS may play some at wideout as well and would likely get more touches.

If he doesn't want to compete then go to Bama or OU. If it truly is a way to placate the LSU masses for choosing another school, it is pretty weak. Just come out and say the other school is the best fit for you and be done with it. I would start preparing myself now for another McKnight tommorrow. I hope he chooses LSU but as other have said we will be fine and prosper no matter what.
