    But see you weren't saying that when we (LSU) had him. Again, it's not his fault he's not at LSU.

    Maybe you might want to give Les and LSU the benefit of the doubt before you throw them under the bus. They have helped Dlo for 2 years.

    And a $hitty decision to make for Benton. Les has made few mistakes but if he did this because of Randle's dad, bad move. :dis:

    No part of this is good news for Bama. Not only did their hated instate rival pick up a stud at WR, but they were banking on the signing of DB with us to push RR away. They can't like to hear this news whatsoever.

    Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster. I love this stuff, it's like a guys soap opera. I would agree to not lay the blame until we hear the facts.

    Great day so far, though guys. Although Jackson has me a bit worried since I think Tennessee will be making a splash today.

    LSU has stuck with Benton for two years as he's tried to get his grades and test scores in order and has not pulled his offer to anyone's knowledge. As of yesterday, LSU expected to sign him, as they have the last two years. Auburn got in awfully late.

    Benton may not think he's going to survive academically for very long and needs an opportunity to start right away. Auburn can offer that, LSU can not. There may also be something to rumors that a private agreement between former teammates Randle and Benton existed not to attend the same school.

    idk why you singled me out on this, but whatever. i'm not the one who rescinded his offer after three years of loyalty.

    :geaux: I'll give Les the benefit of the doubt until everything comes out. I just don't see CLM throwing Benton under the bus after supporting him for 2 years. Doesn't make sense and isn't Miles' style. Did DLo see the writing on the wall and felt like he had better opportunities at Auburn? More to come I suppose.:LSU231:

    Some of you guys are horrible. Same **** every damn time a recruit goes somewhere else. Why don't you guys find out what happened before calling this kid names? I'm happy for him, just not happy we'll be playing against him now lol.
