Re: Darius Paige and Jonathan Cook Update Thread (Page 7)
Great news on Paige, and honestly a bit unexpected. When he didn't get a bump in his ACT score, I was afraid he was all but JUCO-bound. Good player here, and he's got some real upside; we wouldn't have came this far with him had that not been the case. That said, however, with his late arrival I imagine he's all but destined for a redshirt, barring a nasty run of injuries up front.
As for Foster, the Clearinghouse has apparently demanded more information and documentation on a summer course that he took, which is what most figured.

Just got the word on Cook from a media friend down in Baldwin county. Great, great news.

Fantastic, keeping fingers crossed for Robert Foster.

He can see a lot of playing time this year. Glad to hear he's in. RTR

Cook made some very mature comments about being cleared and heading to T-Town now to be the best he can at all areas, not just football but classroom, weight room, etc.

I have been more worried about Rob Foster. He would be the less likely to re-sign if he went to JuCo.
Re: Darius Paige and Johnathon Cook Qualify; Robert Foster Awaits Clearinghouse (Page
Yeah and that's what I hate.
Re: Darius Paige and Johnathon Cook Qualify; Robert Foster Awaits Clearinghouse (Page
As much as I want Robert to qualify, WR is the position with the best depth compared to DB and DL. I'm sure glad DP made it in and Cook could add some depth if needed. This staff is so good at evaluating talent and finding the players that fit the system and will work hard to do what it takes to get eligible.

Great to hear Darius and Johnathon are in. I so want Robert to get in. I know they are all very good players but I think Robert is in the Julio/Amari category in talent.

It might have depth but a talent like Robert Foster you WANT on campus. Period. Kid is a beast!
Re: Darius Paige and Johnathon Cook Qualify; Robert Foster Awaits Clearinghouse (Page
Probably been mentioned before, but want him there to revel in three years of having the names "Rob. Foster" and "Reub. Foster" on the backs of 'Bama jerseys.

Can't help but be concerned that Foster is still in limbo even as the second summer session gets going. FWIW, he's the most talented of the final three, and the least likely to re-sign with us in the event that he has to go post-graduate or JUCO.
OTOH, in terms of need from a depth perspective, Cook was the real key here. Not sure how much he can contribute this season as a first year player who arrived late, but at this point I'm willing to take any cornerback with a pulse.

Would you say that Foster getting in is 50/50 at best?
Amen to that

At this point, though, there is just no news and no one knows what to make of it because most people, including the staff, thought he would have been in by now. Again, though, any time the Clearinghouse keeps you this long, it's a bad thing.
I wouldn't put any numbers on it, but as long as he has been in Clearinghouse limbo, obviously there is a very, very real chance that he doesn't make it in.
