Ok.

Playing in PA with only 584 receiving yds with 5 receiving TDs.

Color me not very impressed. I haven't read about him at any camps either so I know nothing about him as a route runner but I just don't understand why he would be the #2 WR nationally.

Ok, what camps has he been to this summer? None of the major ones I've been reading about.

It's not an issue cause our staff wants him I just don't understand all the hype.

He's got the stats and highlight tape to back it up and plays top opposition in GA. RF has none of that that I have seen.

I'm not trying to get in a pissing match over this. Genuinely curious about all the hype is all.

I'm saying it's not 5star, #2 WR in the nation type tape. Not even close imo.

What I've gathered from this last page is that there is a good chance RF ends up at bama, therefore he's not the number 2 receiver in the country and is overrated/bama bump/etc

The #1 receiver on 247, Robbie Rhodes, had 1,319 receiving yds, and 21 TD's in one season playing in Texas.

Robert Foster hasn't even really come close to those stats in two years in PA. Not even close to the same level competition as Texas.

Ahmad Fulwood, #11 rated WR on 247 had 1,141 receiving yds, and 22 receiving TD's playing in FL.

Again, I'm not trying to start a fight here. I'm looking for some real insight. If you don't have any please don't respond.

You do know that some of the best receivers also play other positions right? One reason to not go by stats.

Robert Foster's highlight film looks like an elite talent to me.

He plays a little bit of RB as well. Not lighting the world on fire either. 419 yds and 2 TD's.

He play kick off and punt return along with db. Do you also know how many minutes per game he played and how many games? Makes a difference.

Robert Foster is a 5 star on 247 and the 21st ranked player nationally, he's also a top 25 player nationally on espn, to say he isn't elite means you're very under-informed and know nothing about recruiting imo.He reminds me a lot of Keenen Allen. He is a very powerful WR and can fly.
