Title: Ruben Foster Decommits from Barn

Here's a link...

This guy has screwed up big time but amazingly (to me) sounds like CNS would still take him.  Second chances don't come that often but it also sounds like he's enthralled with Trooper, and that says something that's not good.

I think he goes to Georgia. In all honesty, he seems like a flake.

Foster told 247Sports that he is now considering five schools: Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Washington and Miami.

Foster, who is rated the No. 1 player on al.com's A-List of the top senior players in the state, has taken unofficial visits in recent months to Georgia, LSU and Washington, while Alabama has reportedly continued to pursue the one-time Crimson Tide commit.

Yea Marshall.. Maybe he is a flake...or just very confused/impressionable. Hard to believe he'll really put in the effort to be a great player.

This article suggests Bama has continued to "pursue" him, and that surprised me after the way he so publicly changed his committment.

In an interview with ESPN earlier this week, Foster said "If Trooper Taylor stays at Auburn, I am all in. If he goes, I will see where he goes too. I just need to see where he ends up. If he goes to another school, I will go there. Hopefully that school will want me too because I would love to follow him."

Flake.

Any other schools that have an AU logo that he can morph his tattoo into?  :lol:

He'll be a junior before he realizes it is not Alabama University.

Someone needs to sit this kid down and explain to him you pick where you want to go to school and play football for the school and not the coach. Assistant coaches come and go but the University will always be there.

It surprises me why a 5 star LB would be so connected to an offensive coach. Trooper is a receivers coach.  :dunno:

I wonder how close this is to a recruiting violation.  Family members of coaches having recruiting type conversations with HS football players, probably even during the non-recruiting times.

these kids kind of get a raw deal with this
I mean , since the Asst. Coaches do the bulk of the recruiting
they form a relationship with the kid ...

but as someone said , they're going to play for the College
not the Asst. Coach , and besides ...

if a Asst. is worth his salt he won't be an Asst. long and
could leave at any time ...
these kids need to remember that , and not get so
wrapped up in this or that Asst. Coach , it can/will change .

this is the perfect example of this happening ...

if Pooper Tayor gets the Ole Miss job what will Rue do  :lol2:

Some of these kids have no Dad around and when they are shown personal attention from these assts it really draws them in. Even in the best of circumstances, the coach's priority is not with any one kid but with doing his job and winning. In the worst of circumstances you have coaches that turn their backs on kids the second the player is no longer useful to them. Some kids understand the situation they are in others do not. I'm thinking Reuben does not.
