Your first post said Bone reported Foster didn't want to talk to Smart. If he did that, why is he tweeting about the Auburn fan? Can he not decide what is going on?

Yes. It was embarrassing even to the Auburn folks who ducked their heads.

Re: the exchange between Smart and Foster:
I don't think it was necessarily anything punitive or ill-intentioned on the part of Foster, but just kind of indicative of the general indifference he has had towards us for a while now. I wouldn't read anything more into it than that.

The kid has become close friends with Trooper and Lupers sons, I would expect him to be totally engulfed with nothing but negative things about the University of Alabama and I don't see anything that would change that between now and NSD.

From all that I've read about this kid, I hope we stay away. He's trouble.

Re: New Recruiting Tactic: Babysitter Needed
You hate to just give up on the kid. There is probably hope for him if he has the right mentor. He needs to stay away from Trooper Taylor, I have a feeling Ol Trooper will taint anything he's around. CKS and CNS probably feel they can help him if he gives them a chance. Fosters loss not ours, we will be winning long after he is in jail if he goes that route.

I'm not going to say what I'm thinking, but I hope this turns out the way it's looking right now.
We don't need character issues on campus.

Personally I want to play at Bama. He's just that good, but if it comes at the price of spoiling the team, I don't want him. If we are pursuing it has to be for good reason.
I am painting this with a broad brush but why does a college have to provide day care for a players child? Most employers don't provide child services for an employee.
i dont think he means providing as far as the school providing. he just means in general terms, going somwhere that can provide good child care. i dont know how to put this without bashing Foster. i know his relatives. i'll just say he's very challenged intellectually. could even be some type of disorder. Even if he comes to Bama he would not see meaningful playing time other than special teams and mop up duty until at least his Jr year IMO. that is one of the reasons he flipped to Auburn because how they'd make his assignments simple. He had trouble with Auburn High's defensive scheme.

I tend to agree. It doesn't matter how physically gifted a player RF is. Unless he can make significant changes in his personal life and work ethic, he won't play much (if at all) for us. My guess is he would hurt our team from a morale and team unity standpoint more than he could help. That said, I think if RF could buy in to the process, playing for Saban would be the best thing for him in his personal and professional life. The problem is that he is likely too far gone at this point and it's a shame. It will be interesting to see how things turn out for him. I predict a Willie Williams scenario with him, but I hope I'm wrong and he can turn things around wherever he ends up.

Re: New Recruiting Tactic: Babysitter Needed
Have to trust Coach Saban on this one. I'll admit, from afar this kid looks toxic, but things are not always as they appear. Also, we are not in possession of all the facts as they relate to his situation and case--the coaching staff is.

Have to agree. I think Coach Saban is an extremely good at judging character and if he makes the decision to take his kid, there is an established team council and mentoring programs to help Foster succeed and hopefully he will learn enough to reach the heights of his God given talent.

With all due respect, this isn't an appropriate way to speak about a HS football player.
