Title: Reuben Foster 'solid' Tide commitment even as Auburn High transfer Post by: 2Stater on June 02, 2012, 11:54:10 AM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/06/hidden_tider_crouching_tiger_n.html
Quote Foster left Troup High in LaGrange, Ga., just across the state line, after the head coach was dismissed. He also considered Oxford High. But Auburn High is only 25 minutes from home and the school's lofty academic reputation was a factor for Foster's mother, who also wanted to find a new school for her sixth-grade daughter, Kayla. Foster's location has changed but, thus far, not his pledge to Alabama. "It's solid, but I'm still looking around," Foster said recently. The Alabama coaching staff told him, " 'You can visit, but at the end of the day, you know where home is.' " There's concern that he could flip. The proximity to Auburn University is a factor. "Coach (Kirby) Smart and Coach (Jeremy) Pruitt have done a good job of recruiting him," Carter said, referring to the Alabama coaches who landed Foster. "They know they're welcomed at Auburn High. They've been here plenty of times before. I'm concerned he may develop the "Helsinki Syndrome". :-\ Title: Re: Reuben Foster 'solid' Tide commitment even as Auburn High transfer Post by: Chechem on June 02, 2012, 12:03:14 PM Hard to relax until RF is signed. Hopefully he'll draw a few more 5-star recruits too. :)

Reuben is in Tuscaloosa today though. |
