AU Cav 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 This is big. This is the first major surprise. Now to see how many more we can pull. FYI, watching Tubs on ESPNU. Didn't know he recruited Ray Lewis... as a qb!!! Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56075-deangelo-benton/#findComment-579637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWarEagle 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 AUsome! Fantastic pickup. Who was the main contact who got him in? If we can keep all of our verbals, this is a very nice class. (More suprrises would be nice also). Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56075-deangelo-benton/#findComment-579639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 19,657 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That really took some guts. I'd pay a good bit to see the look on that HS coach's face when the news came across.

TitanTiger 22,257 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Anyone have the details on him? As in 3 years to play 2, or 4 years to play 3, etc.? From what someone said on Scout, 5 to play 4. He sat out this year from football to get the academics in order.

Ryan Sanders 123 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sitting out this past year kind of worries me.. but with a kid like him with his natural ability, I don't think it matters a whole lot.

Wow, even better than I hoped. Meta - what chance did you figure us getting him coming into today? 5%? 0% since he flat out stated yesterday that he was signing with LSU. No idea what happened here. Did LSU turn him away after hearing the comments from Randle's dad? Its a possibility. I've also heard that Benton could have been pissed with what Les Miles was telling both he and Randle. No idea whats going on at LSU with these two receivers. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56075-deangelo-benton/#findComment-579653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoAU 81 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great pick up...! Huge.. but what I find very strange and irritating is, why did both Benton and Freeman drop a star after they sign with AU..?

WarDamn57 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 HIP HIP HOORAY!! I couldn't be happier with this pick up. Welcome to the Auburn Family Mr. Benton. One Question: CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY BENTON'S RANKING WENT FROM BEING A 5 STAR TO A 4 STAR THE MINUTE HE SIGNED WITH US TODAY???? This is according to rivals, and the morons even have a story about how it was such a huge suprise, they describe him in the article as a 5 Star, but his rating was changed minutes after the article was posted. Looks like the same old BS that happens every year, Bama signs someone they go up a star, we sign someone they go down a star. But as much as this practice ruffles my feathers, They can't bring me down today, and if we get Oku I'll be on cloud 9. War Eagle!

Geauxtigahs11 1 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Randle has commited to LSU. Btw, watch Randle's Rival's interview on the Randle/Benton saga. Interesting stuff...
