The Junkyard

i keep thinking about crowell's recruitment-- bama wanted him but we NEEDED him. and, in the end, we got him. the foster situation is very similar; i hope the outcome is, too!

Rusty did Foster discuss his commitment to Bama or if he will do the "think things over, make a final decision down the road" thing?

Thanks for the update

I think the young man would start a lot sooner for UGA, than he will start for the Tide. He already has the size, so he would just need to get the defense down, and he could see some action on the field in 2013. I don't really think UGA would red shirt this kid. I think UGA has a real good shot at this kid right now, as opposed to where he was prior to Saturday. He would be one kid it would really be nice to flip.

Bama doesn't Redshirt everyone. This year, Trey DePriest, Vinnie Sunseri, Jeoffery Pagan, Hasean Clinton-Dix, Xzaiver Dickson, Christion Jones...and maybe others...possibly Harrison Jones...anyways, you guys in GA know that Saban plays the best, REGARDLESS of class. And you and I really don't know the truth when it comes to these kids being suspended and then leaving/transferring. I am willing to bet its not Sabans way of making room for fresh younger talent.

i agree that saban has shown a willingness to play freshmen especially at LB (see mosley and hightower among others) and that foster is talented enough to play as a freshman wherever he goes, but no one in this thread has said anything about players getting suspended or transferring from alabama under odd circumstances. seems odd for you to have brought that up.

just out of curiosity, exactly how much would you be "willing to bet"?

Rusty, still waiting on those percentages to Bama and to Georgia.

About 2-3 weeks ago I said he had about a 25% chance of being a Bulldog.

At this moment, I'd put that number at anywhere from 33% to 40%.

Say he decommits from Bama and commits to UGA, I'd move that number to the high 90%+ region.

He seems torn with what he wants to do.

I think he should've done what terry did because there is no way he is 100% commited to bama

I think it almost appears that Foster has gone from solid to Alabama, to, "Somebody, give me a reason not to go to Alabama". His buddy just may give him that reason.

i appreciate where you're coming from, but if you really think that reuben is just "enjoying the process" and not looking seriously at georgia you need to look again. i'm not gonna hate on bama because y'all have the healthiest program in the country right now hands down, but if one of our commits was acting like reuben i would be concerned.

he and tray are definitely recruiting each other, but if we apply your logic ("he had a UGA offer when he committed to alabama. that tells me all i need to know.") then it's equally silly to think matthews would flip.

and lest you forget, alabama lost to LSU last year as well. at home.
