Even if he doesn't come, we're still going to beat them. They just won't have any excuses because they've got all that "talent" now.

OJ isn't going anywhere, imo.


I hope not. I consider OJ on the same level as Foster and Nkemdiche in terms of his ability at his position. I think he's a once in every 5 or 6 years type of player at his position.

Doesn't mean losing Foster doesn't hurt, because it stings badly. But Alabama has done well developing linebackers and having an elite one doesn't matter as much one way or the other.

I just think if had to choose between losing Foster or Howard then I would choose Foster. An elite linebacker like Foster will not make Nick Saban's defense anymore dangerous than a good one like Reggie Ragland. But a TE of Howard's ability will indeed make Alabama's offense much more deadly.

Saban can develop Ragland to be just as good as Fotster at playing linebacker. He cannot make Michael Williams or Malcolm Faciane the athletic freaks that Howard is at TE.

Guys, don't forget several top recruits from each of their classes fail to make it at au. Their top classes from the last few years are not that good now. This class will be the same. A few of their top guys will disappear within 2 years.

I'm pretty sure Reuben Foster will end up at Bama. Kirby and Saban aren't going to lose to that arse clown Trooper Taylor and BVG who looks like a character out of a Tim Burton film with a dash of child molester mustache.

I'm not worried, just slightly annoyed.


I think the light will come on this fall when he sees what's taking place at both schools on the gridiron.

I think auburn pulled out all the stops for him. Look no further than cooper batemans comments. To paraphrase he said when he visited auburn the coaches had twins escort him around campus..then in a later interview says he won't single anyone out but some schools had girls making far out promises. If you told me RF was promised a daily blowjob by some aubie skank id be inclined to believe it

And to be honest i'm not sure im man enough to turn that down either


Let us not forget though...Johnathan Allen is a fricking beast that punishes quarterbacks.

Matthew Thomas is the best coverage linebacker in the country

Reuben Foster is the best run stuffing linebacker in the country.

Run stuffing linebackers at alabama are a dime a dozen...we'll just plug in another one that will do the job just as well

I disagree. With his statement matching Yeldon's, he is gone. Not coming back even if he wanted to.

Youre name sucks and that picture is stupid !

Reuben will have to be put on the Cadillac academic plan.Hes gonna be a hell of a linebacker though .That front seven is gonna be stacked in a couple of years .Good thing the depth is not there or they would actually be competitive.

I think they got him to steal Yeldons speech to piss off Bama fans and make them attack him.Which they probably didnt have to but a good move indeed.

we'd still take him but I see your point.


TJY will hurt auburn a lot more than RF will hurt alabama in the next 3 years. Bookmark that

yeldon is not going to be that good. I think the guy would make a good full back but is too slow to be a great running back in the SEC
