If this is true, that would be terrible. Les Smith is a dude

Did some scout make a promise they would get drafted?

Les Smith is not eligible to be drafted. I am not sure about Benzel.

My understanding is that its just Benzel and not Smith. Smith told me personally when the rumors started that he was fine and committed to the Cajun program. I'm not surprised about Tyler Benzel, he had a lot of potential but injuries kept him from developing. I wish him the best of luck, he is a good kid.

As of right now, it's only Benzel.

Never really produced, I believe it is no big loss. It is not like he did not have the opportunity to play

how does that affect RPI? just curious

RPI? I think you mean APR. If I am correct, it only counts scholarship players and Benzel might not have been on scholarship. Another reason why the APR is a joke. Not all sports are the same.

You mean APR? It shouldn't. Benzel had a 3.0 GPA and will end up at another college.

If it were to cause the team to cross the APR threshold of .925 it is my understanding that your APR loss is based on what you were actually giving out to the player in scholarship.
