you talking about howard, or foster? because in everything ive read from howard he sounds 100%, talks about the only recruiting he is doing at the opening is making sure foster does not go anywhere.

I think he's talking about Tenpenny who mentioned something about "right now I'm committed to Alabama."

Whether we want to admit it or not we read into what these teenagers say and how they word what they say entirely too much.

I blame the unpredictability of past recruits and the paranoia a Yeldon type incident breeds.

foster is 100 percent committed to us i think all the talk is coming from tray matthews and he will learn if he wants to play with foster he will have to roll with the tide.

Not a lot of star power on Cooper Bateman's 7on7 team compared to the other teams IMO:

RB - Derrick Green
RB - Ezekial Elliot
WR - Ryan Switzer
WR - Jacorey Warrick
WR - Torii Huner
WR - Jake Oliver
TE - Arshad Jackson

Obviously, there are some good players in that group but no one that jumps out to me as a go-to type guy.

Our recruiting has hit and entire new level. I actually feel slightly sorry for the dawg and auburn fans hanging on Shaq and Tray's word hoping it offers a glimmer of hope he signs with their team. While it is still possible he goes somewhere else the window of opportunity is getting more narrow.

Well, that shouldn't certainly put some minds at ease. Sounds like he plans on going to school with tray, but he isn't going to let that keep him from where he wants to be.. Alabama. If tray comes to bama, they'll play together. If not, they won't.
I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong, but that's just the way that particular interview sounds.

I would say he pretty much is right. Matthews is trying to force it on foster go play togather and i do not think foster will flip nor will matthews

ETA:Gerry Hamilton: Carl Lawson sent home for behavioral reasons, bottom line. Nothing illegal, but behavioral that was unacceptable.

1. I'm not saying he's not wrong I'm just saying he has issues. If you knew his post history you'd understand.

2. No one knows one way or the other because we aren't there. All we know is what we read and what "insiders" give us. Very fickle, very inaccurate. Every scenario from Foster flipping to both flipping is as viable as the other. We just don't know because we've seen kids be 100% committed to a school and then hold a hat ceremony on signing and switch his commitment. So no one knows for sure but we are all speculating.

"Nothing illegal" doesn't tell me much in a sport where paying $200k for QB's as long as they don't know about it is perfectly acceptable.

UGA insiders feel like Foster will flip to UGA because Foster has told kids in Athens he wants to play at Georgia......same with AU insiders, so in a sense they have good reason to feel that way.

RF is a lot like TJ Yeldon in that he has a very difficult time telling people "no". I can tell you though that RF was in touch with Bama's staff on his way home from Athens last week as well as that Monday, was very honest, and Bama's staff feels absolutely confident he's theirs now and it won't change.
