Ford not announcing until Wednesday. 11 o'clock.

Are we slow playing him due to numbers? Seems unlikely. Or, is this just so ESPN can have more announcements during live coverage? Or, is he not sure what he wants to do?

and it would sting to miss out on him.


Get some cortizone ready, I won't be convinced until I see him make a play in an Auburn uniform.

We could be slow playing him making room or he could be slow playing us. With the commitment of Barber last night he may want to see if we take another back before Wed.

It's recruiting, so it could be any of the three.

Yeah but New Hope football's area isn't the most difficult area in HS football

judging from his tweet, I think he was just confused on when the school was holding the event... could be wrong, though. It doesn't seem like second-guessing.

I hate to waste anymore time speculating on RF, but is there any chance that even after his "announcement" tonight, he continues to troll by faxing his LOI to a different school than who he picks tonight?

Agreed, he often looks like the biggest kid on the field at 5'11 180lbs

the homer in me thinks even if he announces to Bama tonight that there's a solid chance he signs with us.... keep in mind, a guardian (would be RFs mom) has to sign the LOI before faxing in.

Pretty sure he's already reached the age of maturity to where this is not a requirement.

he is 19, right?

Statements like that piss me off.

You can say that about ANY recruit in the country. They all have to prove themselves once they get to college. So everybody is ecstatic about getting Barber and Lawson yesterday, but all of a sudden, nobody cares about Foster and has to see him make plays first?

Bottom line is AU fans are pissed at Foster for taking the trip to T-town, and I can't blame anybody for that. We all should hate that because it was dirty of him to leave his OV with us to go up there (all rumors aside). But fellow fans acting like they all of a sudden couldn't care less about where Foster goes is laughable. He has the potential to be a program-changer along with Lawson and whoever else.

They all have to prove it at the next level, and a bunch of fans being pissed over Foster's antics doesn't change that. Five-star or two-star, none of them have played a down in college yet.

This is a kid that I will not believe until he signs with someone... We need him, there is no doubt... When Troop left I thought we had zero chance, so whatever happens, happens. Wish him the best.
