I wanna start with Foster stuff...get to that stuff 1st and then we'll be done with him

I heard quite a few more things today man they pulled out ALL the stops and had Foster flipped a few weeks ago and he was actually gonna come to campus this WE and of course we got word from OJ he was ALL AU and left to go over to UW and get a few extras like a goodie bag etc from them after he left Oregon

OJ said Maurice, even Matthew Thomas (who is a BAMA lock) and Tenpenny all bonded and and were all there to get better and the group from AU was a playful group, VERY disrespectful to coaches etc including Foster

anyway Bama told Foster not to go Dawgnight and what you heard, that it was time for him to "Stop going on visits and show his commitment" which was Saban who told him and STILL wanted him

anyway he told Saban he would show his commitment alright even told him he was flipping and he was lying for weeks and Saban told him "I know, when you moved to AuHS we knew that, we set you up for Oxford HS and you transferred to Auburn, you thought we didn't know that?" and that's why it seemed like such a quick and sudden thing apparently that little convo was RF telling Saban more than he was supposed to and getting heated etc anyway, I was told original plan was to drag BAMA along (AU's plan of course) as long as he could and it was obvious Saban wasn't gonna let it drag out much longer anyway, but RF's mom just closed on a house last week (quarter of a mil house, she makes 40 thou a yr at most) had a co-signer of course and there is much more)

also Yeldon statement was the plan all along, again was told SEVERAL times this whole situation took the cake and Saban knew what was going on but thought better of RF and hthought he had a level of maturity to stick with his commitment...

Saban expects every prospect committed to maintain that level of maturity and it is now obvious the bridges not just to RF but Lee County have been NAPALMED

The 2 big dog recruiters (Pruitt and LT) on staff take this as a missle shot at TTown basically meaning they feel like THIS MEANS WAR!!

Looking like we will finish out OL haul with Laremy Tunsil (You can thank Derrick HenryIF we land the 5 star OT it is down to us and UF and we have a sizable lead) and Kenneth Santa Marina (here this weekend staff likes him as a OG)

Will add Matthew Thomas, 5 star LB from Miami, Fl, Mom is the only thing keeping him from committing is Momma who hasn't ever visited Ttown OR AL for that matter but he is bringing him in and not shocked if he commits on that trip

Will add Derrick Henry, both RB commits have no problem knowing he will likely not end up at RB but rather at Hback (TE/FB hybrid)

High possibility we also add either Josh McNeil in Aug (high possibility) or Hunter Henry (expect him to go to Ark, family ties etc)

One we might get before the end of the Summer, but doubtful he pulls the trigger till NSD more likely Robert Foster, the Julio clone 5 star WR from Pa loves Bama and Julio's history here, we have a HUGE lead over Pitt and Ohio St, but he is bringing his WHOLE family the end of this month, they have never visited

High probability with our TE recruiting that we might see our 1st Jones brother (Walker Jones) on D as a LB, not sure if he will be a greyshirt or come in as a full commit yet

Demarcus Walker is also gonna commit soon before the end of the Summer, 4 star DE from Fla will be a monster with his speed (4.7) at his size (285)

We will likely add another LB and 1 or 2 DL possibilities are too many to name right now

Tox, thanks.  Great job as always.  Quick question:  Could you estimate the number of recruits you think we'll sign in this class?  Thanks in advance.

thanks Tox , always enjoy the insight  :clap:

Copeland on RF

I'm sure the story on RF is far from over but it is as far as being a part of Bama though. This young man has a year of high school left and he's hanging with the college players. It will be interesting to see how they keep him out of jail. ;)

It's looking more and more like a full class with 1 or 2 back counters/greyshirts, possible greyshirts are Johnathan Cook DB from Smiths Station (Deon Johnson's HS teammate, go watch film if you haven't seen, kid is a player) and possibly Walker Jones

Wait a minute, let me show you my shocked and amazed face.  :o

Thanks for the great info, Tox. I'm sure we all suspected something like this had transpired. I for one, hope CNS stops recruiting him. I think he has shown poor character in this whole ordeal, and even though he is a talented player, he would bring trouble with him, if he came to T-town. He would be too much of a distraction. I say, let the barn have him.

It's gonna be a heckuva class.  Thanks, Tox.

Thanks, Tox! You're the best!

I kept telling ya'll  "the money was to much"    ;D

a page right outta the $cam newton recruitin' cook book   :dunno:

Thanks Tox...RF can have his day with Aubie. It sounds like a real mess.CNS saw it and did not let it play out. The wr from PA sounds like a pretty good deal. RTR!

Thanks Tox you are surely the best. I really never thought after he moved to Auburn, he would be here. I will say one thing for sure, CNS is a sharp recruiter, they never fool him. RTR!
