Robert Foster

  • Just watch the video on PA's Robert Foster. Seems to be an extremely athletic WR for his size. Does tOSU have a shot and is there mutual interest?

  • From what I have read OSU has a realistic shot at landing him. He said he really enjoyed his visit and is definitely interested in OSU. Also heard rumblings that he and Zaire are a package deal. So if we get Zaire we get Foster. Not sure how much truth there is to that rumor.

  • Great news. His speed and athletisim will keep safeties honest and open up opportunities for the type of athletes Urban likes to get the ball to underneath. If not this guy, we need someone with downfield speed and size.

    It's not a rumor. Zaire was quoted saying that he and Foster want to play together. Right now, the only common offers they share are OSU and Pitt. Foster's from Pittsburgh. In the same interview, Zaire said he also likes Wisconsin and Nebraska but also mentioned Penn State was starting to show interest and Foster has an offer from PSU. His offer list is longer and even more impressive so he might be limiting himself if he ties his choice exclusively to Zaire's options.

    To me, Foster's the more critical of the two because we need help at WR. We could take 3-4 WRs (Jalin Marshall being one already in the bag). There are a # of dual-threat QBs out there and we've offered six so far, likely to take at least 1 and maybe as many as 2. Foster could play right away while Zaire/anyone else recruited as a QB would have to be willing to sit at least a year behind Braxton. If we take 2 plus Cardale Jones, that makes the competition even stiffer. But his athleticism, which is strength, would allow him to see the field sooner, maybe as a WR himself ala Russell Shepard at LSU while he backs up Braxton and learns the QB position. And if he doesn't pan out at QB, ala Shepard, he'll already know another position.

  • According to TOS, Zaire himself has said that he is not sure that his offer stands with the new staff. He has not been confirmed.

  • What's the connection with him and Zaire? Why a package they aren't even in the same state?

    Charske

  • I think they hit it off on one of their visits. It might have been at OSU junior day cant quite remember.

  • I like Foster...kid just flows and glides! He is very smooth and silky.

  • Charske, I was confused about a package deal too. I guess maybe they met at an all star game and built up a friendship. I'll try and check but working thirteen hour day gives me little time on here.

    Agree, hear about the package deal kids every year and I can't think of a time when its actually worked out.

  • I would have to say I think Reeves and williams were pretty much a package deal. I know they play on same team and are pretty much family but it happens. We all if given the opportunity would go to school with good friend, work with friend etc.

  • Urban's not making an offer to anyone he's not convinced can play. He passed on Nick Davidson and might on Mike McCray and Tommy Tupa, three guys who are not only Buckeye legacies but whose fathers were all captains and at OSU when he was an GA.

    Tressel screwed up letting loyalty cloud his judgment, loyalty to Pryor and Bollman. Meyer won't make the same mistake. If he's going to stake his career on the performance of 18-22 year olds, they had better be able to play up to his standards.

    iowabuckeyes

  • Regardless of 'package deals' r.foster and shelton gibson both see the field almost immediately. Zaiere looks like a verry capable successor to braxton. There doesn't seem to be anything holding meyer back from landing all three.

    OSU has just as good a shot as anyone else from what I'm reading. No clear leader this point.

    Just seems wierd if thay've only met a few times. There's high school team mates that separate after saying they're a package deal , I.e. Adolphose Washington last year and his teammate that choose the wrong school _ oregon!
