Reuben Foster, the best HS LB in the Nation and currently the 2nd rated HS player according to Rivals has committed to Alabama.

Yeah, pretty much, but he made it official.

Isnt this the kid who is transferring high schools because his coach got fired for some ridiculous reason?

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I think so. I don't know the whole story there.

 

[Goku]

he has the best linebacker tape i've seen in years. ferocious player.

UoG has got to be kicking themselves for letting him OOS

And that is why he is going to play for the best defensive coach in the country.

Out of state doesnt really mean the same thing in SEC country as it does in say Texas. Except for certain parts of Louisiana, Alabama and Florida the southeastern United States is pretty much open season to all comers. The vast majority of Texas recruits stay in state but that isnt the case with states like Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina.

i think that's an inditement on mark richt.

In 2013, the state of Georgia has the #1 defensive end in the country (Robert Nkemdiche), the #1 safety in the country (Vonn Bell), the #1 inside linebacker in the country (Reuben Foster), and the #1 defensive tackle in the country (Montravius Adams)....and they are all planning to leave the state.

think about that....

Georgia isn't a chopped liver program. It has great tradition and history and fan support so for them to continually lose top talent to OOS schools is simply unacceptable IMO.

How does a Georgia even compete w/ a Nick Saban? Good lord the guy just wins at everything in college.

I totally understand these kids going to play for him.

I don't think that is necessarily true (though it might be).

Florida and LSU always lose great in-state talent to other southern schools. In 2010 I believe Florida only signed three of the top 10 players in Florida, and LSU routinely loses in-state recruits to Texas, OU, A&M, Auburn and Alabama. The only SEC school that truly owns their own state is Alabama, and they didnt before Saban got there and they started winning again.

LSU makes up for it though because they recruit houston so well and usually they end up with the better recruit between their top in state talent and OOS

you use florida as an example but most of the top talent in florida stay in state due to Fla ST and the U

UoG constantly loses top in state guys who are also top guys in the country
