    pretty slimy of this guy, after he said he was all LSU yesterday, I think this has to do with Randle.

    And wasn't he scheduled to announce at 1200? Strange.

    On the contrary, we fully realize how good Benton is, but most AU fans felt like we got in on Benton too late to have a legitimate shot at signing him. Personally, I feel he is a better prospect than Randle, but that's mostly based on what I've read and his videos..... haven't seen him play live. Color me shocked at benton's decision.

    I really feel like LaFell's decision played a major role in this, but that's just my swag.

    Auburn also picked up a big WR commitment from Emory Blake in texas.

    I think the kid knows how much he struggles with school and just wants to get to the NFL as quickly as possible.

    He sees the opportunity at Auburn with ZERO competition and thinks he can make a name for himself quickly then springboard to the NFL in a year.

    Too much great competition at LSU.

    Nor will they in the foreseeable future. No one to get him the ball=wasted talent.

    You guys will be solid with Randle. My dream scenario is starting to play out...Patterson to Ole Miss, Benton to AU. If Randle goes to you guys or OU and Bama's left holding nothing, I'd be the happiest man alive.

    :geaux: Yeah, especially if we don't get Randle.:dis: I still find it hard to believe CLM would rescind an offer like that. There's more to this than meets the eye. :LSU231:

    Before ya'll go calling DLo slimy this and that, or backstabber whatever, it was not his fault he ended up at Auburn, and I'll leave it at that. IT'S PLENTY OF SLIME TO SPREAD AROUND, but none of it belongs on DLo.

    Guys I think this might've been where LSU got a couple surprises today...so someone had to go. So it could be mutual interest in both...plus help LSU with Randle's chances. Montgomery was completely out of right field. TR could be coming here too or Jones...

    On hindsight, this would be horrible if RR didn't pick us...
