"Coach (Smart) wouldn't let me use the phrase 'Dream Team' because Georgia uses it but we're trying to create a championship team," Foster said. "It's a tradition at Alabama now, because they always win championships and we're trying to be a future championship team."
Love it. :)

Re: *** 2013 LB Reuben Foster Commits to Bama ***

Blackmon is a pretty good comparison. Hopefully Reuben want have the baggage he had. For us who were around in the Bryant glory days, he reminds me of Woodrow Lowe.
Lowe is a really good comparison as well..

While i see where you are going with that comparison it's a bad one. Tray was small and foster would be the number 1 prospect this year if he was a senior.
I don't think it's a bad comparison at all..Besides being smaller..When you watch videos of both..They play like clones of each other..They have similar speed getting to the ball..Neither messes around getting to the ball..They both get to the ball faster than any LB'ers I've seen on the high school level..And I haven't seen any LB'ers that are more brutal than either one once they get to the ball..

You have me when it comes to Blackmon being the overall #1 recruit..And as TiderJ pointed out..Blackmon was a 5*, #1 rated LB'er in the country(he was in the Top 20 overall), by all recruiting services coming out of high school..Their size is the only comparison of the two that is not comparible..How hard Blackmon hit & how strong he was..That size difference is a wash..

Update on AJC. RF stays committed to us for now. But he's making goo-goo eyes at UGA, at least to the reporter of that state's biggest paper.

Here.

Every article on a georgia kid the AJC does will say that while they are commited to one school they really want to go to UGA or are starting to lean to UGA or have dreams at night of playing for UGA. Its usually just done to run up views on the article since the squidbillies hate to think that georgia kids dont want to go to georgia.

the hitting is similar but thats it. Foster is in a class by himself. The guy has the entire package.

its simple really. Foster born in Alabama wants to be the next great Alabama born LB at the Capstone. following the footsteps of Jordan, Bennett, McCants, Ryan, McClain etc. of course having Thomas and Lowe in that tradition doesn't hurt either!! :)

We'll agree to disagree..I respect your opinion..I think Blackmon is in the same class as Foster..They're both on a level I haven't seen any other high school LB'er reach..

I'm going by my opinion on watching his tapes and every recruiting site. Yesterday they we saying how he is a sure thing and the best high school lb to come out of ga since spikes. One last thing is the brains are there for foster and that alone makes a huge difference.

If you mean Brandon Spikes, he was from NC, I believe.

Re: *** 2013 LB Reuben Foster Commits to Bama ***

I have yet to see film more impressive on a LB than I have with 'Ro.

But Foster is the closest thing since then, that's for sure. I expect this kid to play early and very often.

Re: *** 2013 LB Reuben Foster Commits to Bama ***

Tray Blackmon was a beast. I had the chance to see him live in high school. But i also have seen Foster live several times. The difference in how hard they hit is a lot more than you think. Foster had at least 1 guy carted off the field every game i attended. Blackmon didnt hit nearly as hard as Foster at the high school level.

He showed flashes at the Ga Junior Bowl but nothing that was like wow besides the fact that he is the first person down on special teams every time.
