wow. first time I have seen that film. I really like how hard he hits, but even more his technique. some great "form tackles".
man knows how to play football. hope he signs and makes his grades. Coach Saban could turn him into a monster.

So many potential comments about that film but I love the defensive play at 2:17. He takes out the play just himself. He has fluid, deceptive speed without much waste of motion. One step fakes to avoid the blocks and get to the backfield. Granted this is HS but his raw talent, size and athleticism are very rare indeed.

BEAST!! Are there any grade issues? I hope we get this kid in soon to start learning the system. Lot of raw natural talent. No telling how good he'll be under some Saban coaching

Wow. That might be the best game film I've ever seen. I know it's a highlight film, I know he's not playing against SEC blockers, but his speed, his play making ability, he's a good good good get, much better than I thought before watching some of his film... at least IMO, which might not be worth a lot!! haha

I heard his grades are good and considering our number situation I wouldn't expect Saban to take him if he would not make it.

Yea, his grades are good now, until the barn HS teachers 'raise the bar' so he doesn't qualify for Bama... just a thought.

I hope he sticks with his commitment. I really think he is making the smartest decision of his life if he does and comes in with his head on straight. Will be one of the great ones at Bama if so. Welcome Reuben!!!!!!

I think adding Foster is huge. Don't like where he is at as far a maturity goes but he truly is a game changer on the field. He will grow up quick in a locker room filled with as many high character guys as Alabama has so I am proud to have him! He will make an immediate impact in some form or fashion! RTR!!!
