I found this funny regarding LSU, Miles, Ruben Randel, and Benton
Trades usually do not happen on national signing day, but LSU apparently completed on Wednesday what it hopes will be a blockbuster deal. The Tigers may also be due for a player to be named later from Auburn. After signing former Bastrop and academically troubled receiver DeAngelo Benton the last two years and hosting him on a visit last weekend, LSU coach Les Miles pulled a long standing scholarship offer to Benton on Tuesday night so as to grease the wheels for the arrival of the No. 1 receiver in the nation – Bastrop’s Rueben Randle.

Miles was asked at a press conference late Wednesday if Benton still had a scholarship offer by Wednesday morning before Benton signed with Auburn. Before Miles could answer, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva – located in the back of the room - frantically waved his arms to attempt to get Miles not to answer. But Miles answered, “No.”
