Thanks, brah. It's good to be back.

While on vacation, I had a short, but sweet, Twitter conversation with the magnificent Laura McKeeman. I told her she was the best looking Scout reporter, and she called me a jokester. I know, I know... I am one lucky dude. I also argued with Legend from Finebaum and his "followers" kept sending me dirty mentions. Fun times.

Man, the writing is on the wall. Dude's been in Auburn for a month and is already wavering.

As he said, he's best friends with Blaise and Cam. Every time they venture over to the football complex, Rueben is going to be with them.

This dude is going to spend so much time in Auburn he's going to feel part of the team before he signs.

I'll be shocked if he doesn't sign with Auburn.

Nino and Joeyb, it's good to be backs, fellow Aubies.

I won't disagree with this, because it's really starting to heat up. At this time, I'd say the writing is more like a puzzle so far. It seems like more and more is being filled in throught the months.

This is the best part of his move. These 2, along with Trooper, are going to constantly be in his ear.

Now the question is, will be take Blaise and Cameron in our classes? I'm leaning towards yes if they can truly land Foster.

I hope you're right.

I'm not going to go this far, but I'm becoming more optimistic with each new day.

Sounds like an amazing journey. Glad to have you back.

I have to say I agree. I really hope it happens. Can you imagine how much of impact him, Johnson, Lawson and Liner would make on our defense? Unreal.

Throw in the possibility of Montravius Adams and the shite gets down-right scary.

Welcome back, young'un.

While I'm thinking about it...

And I just saw auburnu008 mention it, but if we were to land Reuben Foster and Montravius Adams (since we are in very good shape with him), our defense would be sick in a couple of years. Dee Liner, Carl Lawson, Matravius Adams, and Reuben Foster would definitely lead us to another top 10 defense that we were so used to earlier in the 2000's. BVG coaching them only adds to the optimism.

Also, don't know if it's been mentioned, but Carl Lawson was offered by FSU today and will visit them soon.

They'll probably be walk ons. Especially troop's son. He's really short, like 5'5 short.

Another thing, in that video of Rueben I posted, every time he talked about being recruited by Blaise and Cam, he said it with a huge smile

I'm not Dr Phil, but that tells me he's receptive to the recruiting.

He had every opportunity to say he's firm to Bama, he didn't come close.

Just another Corey Grant situation, I don't think Foster will make the mistake and sign with Bama.

One of AU's best recruiting tactics is making recruits feel a part of the team/family before they even commit. Wouldn't surprise me if Foster spent 5 days a week at the football complex for the next 9 months.

I could see this. I've seen where Cameron Luper is a pretty good prospect at this time, nothing special. But having them as walk-ons would help out our numbers and it's not like they'd have trouble paying for it.

I noticed this as well. Like you mentioned, them being best friends is huge. Plus there have been wispers around that Foster has been spitting out a "War Eagle" every now and then. I like the sound of that.

Congratulations on picking up Tray Matthews and Alvin Kamara as well. They just had a video a few days ago and said they were all going to the same school. Huge pickups for Auburn

Thanks man But I'm not so sure about that... Matthews is for sure in. Kamara will probably have to walk on if/when Tyshon Dye commits.

I don't remember FSU ever stealing one of our commits. Ricardo Louis did come back so you can scratch that off your list. That was also after Malzahn left and we didn't have an OC for 6 weeks.

I think he was mainly talking about prospects...

Eddie Goldman, Ronald Darby, and Menelik Watson from last year.

Lawson isn't a prospect.

We never led for these two (based on all insiders knowledge, not just Auburn's "insiders").
