I wouldn't be to sure. It does sound like an au lean but Ruben can be a hard one to read.

He's all about fambly, wants to be able to eat fried chicken every day. I think I know where he's going, even if he doesn't.

What is a father worshiper? Does he mean God the father......or high schoolers who are fathers?

I've gotten to where I'm going to stop stressing over this one. If he comes, great. If he doesn't, he doesn't and we will still be fine without him.

How old is his daughter? Did she exist when he was committed to Bama for so long and they lived in Georgia?

Well the way he said that "That auburn does deserve that official". Like hes doing it just for what they did for him in the past and if they hadn't he wouldn't visit. Just the way that sounded to me.

He probably dropped us after Scott Cochran told Foster what he thinks about his fried chicken diet.

Reuben Foster said...
“I’m just a family dude and want to stay close to my little girl and my mother and just have a good family and be maybe eat my mom’s fried chicken every day.”

Welp, I don't mean to be a negative Ned, but that really says all that needs to be said. Unless Bama OR UGA can provide Reuben's mom with the same things that Auburn has given her, he's all Auburn.
Couple that with the fact (read that again...FACT) that he's better than any linebacker they have on campus, the only thing that will keep Reuben Foster from suiting up for the barn next year is him bombing his grades this spring. Somehow, I don't see Gus & Co. letting that happen.
I hope I'm wrong and that he signs with the tide, but, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume he's an Auburn Tiger and just be pleasantly SHOCKED if he inks with Bama.

Ask Jarvis Jones, Manti Teo, and (insert insignificant barner linebacker here) how it feels to be steamrolled by our running backs. Make sure you're on the right side of the fence big boy.

Great question. Did not seem to play in to the decision then. We shall see.

I kinda agree, but then again it's Reuben and I have given myself migraines trying to figure out what he says haha

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I pretty much asked a question that I knew the answer to just to say that I call BS on this family crap.
