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

Everybody that is freaking out needs to calm down. His parents could move him to Auburn from LaGrange and still potentially keep their same jobs, etc. LaGrange is very pro AU anyway, so its not like he's not used to that. The only closer 6A school would be Opelika (if they are still 6A) but that wouldn't much different from AHS - they are both pro AU.
Opelika is still 6A however if i had a choice to send my kid it would no way be in Opelika. So really no surprise there. AHS is not as pro AU as people think. Not even close

Lee County has a pretty large percentage of Alabama alumni/fans. So, Reuben won't be without daily reminders of Alabama football.

How cute. Foolish booger eater. Roll Tide Roll ALWAYS trumps pathetic little ear wiggle.
The only time boogs start crowing about an unrealistic magically appeared touted recruit that wouldnt give the lee county losers the time of the day is when their boosters and board members start raising money, opening their bank accounts and the casinos are open for business again. Its obvious that the 3 stooges Milton McGregor, Bobby Lowder and Jimmy Raines are back at it again.

Wow. Some of you guys are letting a suspended troll be the topic of discussion. Let it go.

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

I am actually liking this move. The fact that the Barn has always and is still recruiting him and he will be on the team with both Trooper and Luper's kids could really work out for us in the end. The NCAA is really going to watch this closely. We are talking about a top 5 recruit who transfers before his senior season. Trooper is going to go all out and pull no punches to get in Foster's head. The fact his son is on the team allows Trooper to be at practices and games. This could be the time that actually nails Trooper or worse case keep his antics under wrap because everyone will be watching. I hope the first happens though. 8)

Just a FYI, but the barner worm is banned with no PM privileges. The vB software, unless it's changed with this last version allows us to display either "banned" or "suspended," but not both. We used to use the latter, but it caused a lot of work for us, because guys who'd been suspended temporarily for some minor infraction or, sometimes, just to keep them from digging their holes a little deeper until we can talk to them, got hysterical at seeing "banned" by their names. He won't be back. Our tolerance for the kind of posts he was making is very low for rival fans and it's just about absolute zero for AU fans...

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

On ITAT they actually think RF's transfer is an REC conspiracy. They believe RF is solid to Bama, and this now gives Bama the #1 recruit in the state. Also, it will allow Bama to claim they took a five-star out of the barn's backyard. The tighter barner tin foil hats become, the more devious the REC is. ;)

I just hope wherever RF goes that he can play football this fall. Nothing like taking a year off and then trying to elevate to the college game. Hopefully RF and RN stay at the top of the rankings and we can pull in the top 2 recruits in the nation. RTR!!

The Bunker sees it differently. They've invented a conspiracy where Reuben was slated to attend Opelika, but decided on Auburn instead. Now the REC is threatening not getting his mom a job. Wow. Where do people get this stuff?

This is correct, but I'm not so sure how many of those are in Auburn. I'm shocked every time I go home for Thanksgiving. I promise Tiger Town was pretty much 40/60 on game day the past two Iron Bowls at Auburn. Just shocks me. Had that been Tuscaloosa I'd be mad seeing that much orange and blue. I don't even know that I saw that much during the Tubberville 6 in a row run.

when i'm in TTown i rarely see Aubie stuff but Bama stuff is everywhere here. when you enter the lockeroom at the gym i workout at you see a huge Bama throw towel on the wall with some mini bama footballs. This gym is 2 miles from campus

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

This makes even more sense why he decided on AU HS and stay close to home. Something I did not know.

That doesn't mean Foster is forgetting about LaGrange. He still has a big reason to be close to LaGrange -- A'Ziya, his 3-year-old daughter.

"I have to be close to my little girl," Foster said. "She's everything to me."

That doesn't really help us with respect to battling Auburn because LaGrange is far closer to the Plains than T'town, but it is what it is.

Of course, if he's really looking to make serious money by getting to the next level ASAP, he's not giving the cow pasture a second look.

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

FWIW and maybe just a rumor but I have seen it on some other UA boards. Again a rumor at this point but apparantly his mother has gotten a job at AU. I guess she needed one to get them set up in the district to RF in school. If so it may be a blessing because being the #2 player in the country and transfer to a new HS has to have the NCAA watching all over this. I guess I can find solace that AU also got L Fanning's mother a job as well if I recall correctly.

I don't know anything specific about what is happening with his mother, but this type of thing really doesn't have anywhere near the meaning that a lot of people assign to it.

In college towns, the university itself is far and away the biggest employer in the area, hiring for positions ranging all the way from scientists to secretaries to janitors and everything in between. As such, it's really not surprising that a parent of a kid moving there would get a job with the university. I don't see it as something that should create suspicion or give any real cause for concern.

Is the job Auburn University specific? I mean could the job be for Auburn high school, the city of Auburn? High schools recruit ball players too especially the ones with close borders to other states. North Jackson comes to mind here in my neck of the woods.
