Foster or Nkemdiche?

[TheTradition]

I saw an interesting question regarding these two on BOL, and I am curious of what the opinion is on here. The question was if you could only pick one option out of the two below which one would you pick?

A.) Lose RF but flip RN from Clemson

B.) Keep RF but RN sticks with Clemson

Personally, I would pick B. I feel like RF can be an anchor in the middle of our defense, and LB has the bigger impact in a 3-4. Obviously, you can't go wrong with either one, but that would be my choice. I also understand that there's still a chance we get both, and that would be great as
well.

Easy choice.....although we would love to have RN, RF has long been committed to Bama and trying to help in recruiting....so "B" would be the choice here. RF will be a star at Bama.

I will take B for 400 Alex.

Foster. RK is an elite player that I WANT but we do not NEED him.

 

[gamersfuel]

i'd honestly go with A.. but in reality there is no choice and i cant wait to see Foster on campus

 

[DurdenTider]

B is the obvious choice with the defense that UA runs. Dominate LBs are needed in this defense. Would love them both obvioulsy but given the 3-4 D, Foster is priority over Nkemdiche

 

[krfuquamd]

B for sure.

 

[peariver]

I want the ones who commit to Saban that they want to be part of the process. B

Without a any reservations RUBEN!

Foster, He plays with a viscousness that most dont have.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

Easy.....Foster. I want players who not afraid of competing for their spots. A player who isn't of the challenge of playing for a Nick Saban team. A player who wants to play where the big boys play. No offense to RN, but going to Clemson is taking the easy way out.

 

[marcusroby]

I'll take the easy way out and take the guy that wants to compete. Competitors thrive in the Process. The true competitors improve on and off the field.

 

[Tidetwin]

Unfortunately it looks like we don't have much of a choice in the matter.

LOL! Do you guys just have the English language in your gun sights? "Dominate" (the verb) for "dominant," and "viscousness" (smoothly flowing) for viciousness."

I think a few never passed grammar as well.

Where they currently are at I prefer Foster but for college I would rather have RN based on pure talent. Not to mention we are stacked at LB and have no problem getting LBs, but top DL seems very reluctant to sign with us and something I would love to see at UA.

It's the 3-4 which seems to bother them. Being a run and gap plugger while the LBs get all the tackles is just not that glamorous...

Might be some of then Nega Tiders you mentioned So watt they can't spill good?

viscousness" (smoothly flowing) He is a smooth LB. He flows to the action.

I agree I just wish we could find a way to convince them it can be. It did not hurt MD one bit, but top DL see more appeal in a 4-3 like LSU.
