I remember hearing him address the notion of competition for PT.

He said something to the effect of "there's going to be challenges anywhere you go."

That's obviously true...but don't even try to compare the LB depth between UA and AU. It's laughable.

All I've heard for 6 months is Alabama fans saying Saban stated multiple times that Foster and RN were the two best players he had recruited. Ever.


I haven't seen any Bama fans say that

Well damn, congrats. I reckon this is some Yeldon karma.




The statement Foster read was incredibly similar to Yeldon's.

I want to make an announcement so I can put this behind me and get to work on the things I need to do to prepare for college both athletically and academically. I am going to enroll at the University of Alabama in January.

Yeldon's statement

Over the last few weeks I've really put a lot of thought and time into where I will play football," Foster said at a press conference at his high school. "I want to make an announcement so I can put this behind me and get in all the work I need to do for high school and to get better for college both academically and athletically. I am going to enroll at Auburn University
I have a lot of respect for Alabama and the coaches and all of the other people and fans," Foster said. "At the end of the day, I feel Auburn University is the place for me and my family and I am 100 percent confident in my final decision. I feel great about my decision and I'm excited to get started

No. It was right after a recruiting dead period started in the fall, but he was also an EE.

I think Foster may have flipped to Auburn for playing time. If Saban didnt start him next year Im sure people would have freaked, but im sure he also flipped because he is a family man and wants everyone to be together as well. If he loves Auburn then good for him, but I can bet PT was a factor.

I read pretty much every post in that thread even though I was just lurking for the 1st couple months. I don't remember reading it but I suppose I could've missed it. Even if a Bama fan did make that claim, I don't believe for a second that CNS said it.
