Not fooled. All I'm saying if we only get 1 of the 2 players, I'd take Foster. Clowney is the greatest HS player to come out in 10+ years and I think Nkemdiche is in that mold. I'd LOVE to get them both. I hate to lose any of our top notch, home grown talent across state lines but Reuben Foster is a guy that will make 10 tackles a game from Day 1. Let's not forget, Olgletree could leave after next season and this kid is an automatic plug in in his spot if he does. And not knocking Dillion Lee but Foster is an ELITE prospect. NFL 1st Rounder in the mold of Ray Lewis and Patrick Willis.
Nkemdiche is a sure fire 1st Rounder as well but I've unfortunately with his HS Coach and Bama ties, I think it is a long shot flipping him. I can't sleep at night thinking of losing Foster as well.
I do good work...

not a flame, but why is everyone so much more sure that Nkemdiche is Bama bound than a kid who is already committed to UA?
Also, when you talk about "bama ties", you may like to know that Foster's family is from Alabama, he was born in Bama, and they are primarily UA fans from what I have heard.
If i'm not mistaken they're from the same part of the state as current 2013 UA OL commit Bradley Bozeman, who I believe Reuben has said he's talked to about playing together at UA.

i get that, but UA is losing Hightower, Upshaw, Jerrell Harris, Chris Jordan and Alex Watkins after this season (that's five 4-star players who all have played big minutes) and is losing Nico Johnson and (probably) CJ Moseley next year.
That is seven major contributors gone in the 12 months before he's supposed to be on-campus.
No matter who they bring in this year, which admittedly is a loaded LB class, I'm sure they can sell that angle better than i can.
God needs a Safety on His team. RIP 21
