This from another board:

"On this AMP footage interview with Randle after the commitment, he confirms that he would not have signed with LSU if Benton had signed with LSU. But if Benton had signed, they would have enough points to take number 1 recruiting class."

I don't care. Randle is a stud and the #1 player in the state and the nation by some sites. Benton is a great player, but has been out of football for a year. I'll take Randle.

Who cares.....we got the better guy both on and off the football field. Benton needed to go ..... he will probably be an academic casualty in a year anyway.

benton signing/not signing would not affect LSU's points.

According to the formula, the third time a kid signs he will not count towards that teams points, unless it is a different team than he signed with previously.

LSU is #1.

#1 per ESPN
#1 per Lemmings

Alabama #1 on Rivals, but everyone knows the Rival's bias and the over-signing of the illiterate by Saban.

3 things:

1. Randle is better
2. Benton is a risk (grades)
3. Benton hasn't played in at least a year

Dude, if Janzen Jackson signs with LSU, LSU's class will be back at #1 again. And we are already #1 in other recruitin polls, even without Jackson.

Wait a minute ? So this is saying Benton > Randle ? This theory doesn't make much sense.

This all just proves what I am trying to convey in another thread. Fine with me. I think Randle will be a much better fit than Benton.
