I believe he is referring to Robert Foster. Have been reports that his attitude and work ethic were not there when he arrived his freshman year.
Just another kid coming out of HS who thought they were good enough to see the field day 1 and knew everything already. But reports from the spring he seems to be ready to show hes got game this fall.

he also said he needed to be "more coachable" moving forward. "Take coaching to another level basically by listening and taking their advice, basically," he said. "Sometimes, I feel like I do my own thing. But at the end, the coaches are always right. So I just need to take the coaching more serious."

We got a CB for Xavier Kelly.
I can't remember who it was, but at least one analyst has said he expects Kelly to be a 5-star soon.

Would love to add him to the roster.

6'5" 255lb and runs a 4.55? sounds like a perfect jack LB/DE hybrid for us

Magilla paraphrased Bone's Insider Report on TSWSNBN:
quote:
*Riley Cole, Miller Forristall, and Eddy Pineiro all earn their offers after very impressive showings in front of the staff.
*Khalid Kareem's commitment was a surprise, talked to Coach Saban a few hours prior to his commitment but did not commit.
QB
*Bama is looking to add 2 QBs, Jawon Pass being priority #1 of Kiffin.
*If not Pass, Bama will look towards the likes of Feleipe Franks, Dwayne Haskins, Logan Byrd, or Jack Allison. All of which are currently committed.
*They have also kept tabs with Xavier Gaines out of FL.
RB
*Bama looks to add 2 RBs as well, with Devin White leading the way. White looks to return for a visit this month, and commit no matter what the numbers look like.
*BJ Emmons is a take as well, and his HC believes it Bama or Tennessee.
*Elijah Holyfield has UGA and AU in front of Bama.
*tOSU commit Kareem Walker plans to return visit in the form of an official visit, but remains committed.
*Miles Sanders looked at one time to be a major flip candidate, but his mother's wishes of staying close to home has prevented his recruiting from re-opening.
*Robert Washington remains a target at RB, but Bama will have to miss on a few guys for him to be heavily targeted.
WR
*Both AJ Brown and Keith Gavin are high priority targets for Bama at WR, Gavin still a potential flip candidate from FSU.
*While Dillon Mitchell remains committed to Oregon, he also remains in frequent contact with Billy Napier and the Crimson Tide. High target as well.
*Behind Stanford for Demetris Robertson, but will be a face to the finish with how many times he visits Bama vs Stanford.
*Before he changed his commitment date, Trevon Diggs had an committable offer and still does, but was not expected to pick Bama.
*Charlie Woerner and TJ Simmons in Georgia are 2 WRs that can commit at any time, but are not heavily mentioned.
*Bama is recruiting both Nate Craig-Meyers and DK Metcalf hard, but both are long shots to be included in the class.
*Darnell Saloman will have to prove to Bama that he will stay out of trouble and excel in school before they likely decide to pull the trigger.
*Both Devin Duvernay and Tre Nixon are both requited for their game breaking speed by the staff.
*Bama looks to add 2-3 more WRs to a class that already includes TJ Simmons.
TE
*Bama looks to add more size at the TE position, with Brendon Scales being more of an H-Back and Miller Forristall needing development.
*Devin Asiasi is a take, but many expect him to stay on the West Coast.
*They are hoping one of Kaden Smith or Isaac Nauta will take an official visit.
*Nick Eubanks is not a top priority as of now, but might as the landscape develops on Bama's chances for higher priority TEs.
*Both Jacob Mathis and Luke Farrell have impressed the staff, trying to get Farrell on campus. Many expect him to stay close to home.

Hank South is conducting a Recruiting Q&A over on BOL as I type. He hasn't answered any questions yet, but I (or someone else) will paraphrase it once it is over.

The massive high school football showcase known as The Opening is on tap for July 5-10 at Nike's world headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, where hundreds of top prospects from the 2016 recruiting class will compete against one another in various drills and events.
Many of the players on display have already committed to colleges for next year, but a good number are still undecided and hoping a strong performance at The Opening will push them toward the right school. It works both ways, actually, as nearly all of the top programs in the nation will be keeping close tabs on the competition and on specific players, especially those whom they've targeted for the future but have yet to lock down with a commitment.
Using 247Sports' latest recruiting rankings, here is a look at the most important target that every top-25 class will be paying the most attention to at The Opening.

4. Alabama
Ben Davis, LB
Height, weight: 6'3", 240 lbs
Ranking: 20th
Alabama already has 17 commitments for 2016 but none of the 5-star variety. That's significant for a program that signed 24 5-star prospects between 2011 and 2015. The Crimson Tide are in on many of the remaining uncommitted 5-star players, but Davis is the most important at this point because of what he represents to the program's future.
Linebacker has always been a position where Alabama has been overloaded with talent, but the 2015 team is veteran-heavy at the position, so players like Davis would fill an immediate need. The Tide signed three linebackers in the 2015 class, but none was as highly regarded as Davis.
Ranked as the third-best outside linebacker in 2016, Davis is "just scratching the surface in terms of his development," according to 247Sports' Steve Wiltfong.
Davis has 23 scholarship offers, and this spring he's made visits to Florida State and LSU, but the Tide seem to be the heavy favorite with 100 percent of the Crystal Ball predictions.

Here are a couple others that may have ramifications for us:
23. Nebraska - Devin White
22. Oregon - Nigel Knott
17. Auburn - Nate Craig-Meyers
11. Georgia - Derrick Brown
8. Michigan - Rashan Gary
1. LSU - Rashard Lawrence

More than 160 of America's most accomplished high school football players are expected to compete at The Opening, held July 6-10 at Nike's world headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.
This annual showcase is considered the country's premier event for coveted college prospects and continually produces eventual college and NFL stars. From Elite 11 finals action featuring top-tier quarterback recruits to one-on-one battles between dominant big men in the trenches, there's no better place for a young player to show he's worthy of the hype.
The field is rife with sensational talents. Through film and in-person assessments, we ranked the 25 best athletes who are expected to attend.
Some are certain to rise or fall on this list based on the way they perform in Beaverton, but each enters with a big target on his back.

quote:
24. 2016 OT Willie Allen
High School: John Curtis (New Orleans)
Size: 6'7 ½", 300 lbs
Recruitment Status: Uncommitted; contenders include Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss.
From a physical standpoint, scouts can't ask for a more college-ready offensive tackle. Willie Allen is a grown man playing a kid's game in high school, and that's clear in his game film.
The task will be taller in Beaverton, but Allen holds enough mental edge to bear down and dominate against elevated competition. His agenda in run settings is to eliminate at least two defenders on every play, and it's a goal he often achieves.
