Nobody's mods have any clue where Foster is announcing tonight. Anybody that says they know who Foster will announce for is trolling.

Just hope he signs with the good guys.

Supposdly, RF was recruiting Adams to Bama hard the entire time they were OVing to AU this weekend. RF told Bo Scar last night that he and Adams were commiting to Bama. That's why Adams to Bama is trending.

So Foster is confused on where he's going but he's recruiting Adams to Bama? Don't really buy that story.

Creating suspense? Or is there a good chance he signs somewhere else? By the way, what are the rumors?

BM said he is tired of following RFs recruitment and will not pay attention to anything the kid does until he is suiting up and making plays.

But only if that's at Auburn. If anywhere else, the name Reuben Foster will not mean anything to BM

forgive my ingorance, I haven't followed the last 48 hours of Foster's recruitment all that closesly... has the fight between dismukes and RF been proven false?... was the leaving of his OV early planned all along, or did something legitimately cause him to pack up and head to tuscaloosa (not necessarily name calling, but an arguement none the less)?... it didn't make sense for someone to get in an argument with Foster on Friday night and then he hang around for most of the afternoon before bailing.

Im thinking he picks Bama tonight, fwiw... just looking for a little clarity.

It is just simply amazing when you look back at what has gone on with the recruitments of TJ Yeldon, Cyrus Kouandjio, Brent Calloway, and Reuben Foster. Somehow, someway, Alabama always wins out in the end. Is this what we have to look forward every year in regards to the top players? I am hopeful this new staff can put a stop to it. Yeldon, Foster, and Kouandjio are stars or are future stars. It needs to start by landing a great linebacker to make us forget about the terrible play that has gone on since 2011.

Sounds like it was planned, he told a few players about it, and Dismukes didn't take to it too kindly.

The "N" word may or may not have been dropped, but it sounds like it wasn't

Yeldon, Foster, and Kouandjio


In my eyes, yeldon was the only one that really fits the bill of having the rug pulled out from us.

Foster hasn't picked bama yet

Cyrus, well when he announced us i was blown away, and then not at all surprised he signed with bama becasue it seemed like he was theres from the get go

Calloway was odd, but again it seemed more of a shock that he was ever coming to auburn than him going back to bama.

now if you're saying this in the sense that we jsut get beat out for the top talent, then yea that's happening and i don't really see an end to it. Doesn't mean we can't have great classes and beat bama on the field, but they've got it cooking and no real reason to see them falling off any time soon.

ETA. after reading all of yoru post (which I shoudl have done) i see that you are in fact just talking about getting beaten out for top guys.

that definitely sounds plausible... as in the discussion of leaving caused an argument, not necessarily the other way around.

I wounder had the player not tweeted the news if this would've ever gotten out?

The point he was making was that when it comes to recruiting, we are always going to be second fiddle to Bama. Time and time again we seem to pull an upset off and we are turning over a new leaf and Bama on NSD takes away any chance of hope.

I am mainly referring to the crazy occurrences and happenings surrounding each ones recruitment.

TJ Yeldon basically lying to the Auburn staff continually, Brent Calloway switching back and forth while then disappearing to a beach house with Peaches, Cyrus Kouandjio picking Auburn and then magically changing to Alabama thanks to his parents, and I need not explain everything that went on with Reuben Foster.

It would be different if Auburn was just simply missing on players, but this stuff is getting out of hand.

IMO, in all of those cases you mentioned (with the possible exception of calloway who's not that good to begin with), had the Auburn staff handled things differently (or simply won more football games) those players could be at auburn right now.

We should've been on Kounjdango earlier... we should've locked up ryan anderson before Bama did... and we should've won more games to keep foser.

I don't think it's some grand conspiracy... we had opportunities to have these guys here and we didn't take advantage, IMO.
