2013 LB. Reuben Foster "Wants to visit Michigan"
per Tremendous via facebook
Following up on a Sam Webb report, 2013 commitment Henry Poggi tells me that five-star LB Reubon Foster "wants to visit Michigan". He says they've been talking a lot and that he thinks Foster is serious about taking a visit.
It's still a long-shot either way, but apparently it's worth at least speculating on in regards to a visit. Director of Player Personnel Chris Singletary was following him on twitter yesterday afternoon; this is only meaningful because Singletary is the guy who sets up and coordinates recruit visits.
I know this was touched on yesterday in another thread, but felt it was thread worthy with this update. This would be a HUGE GET for Michigan.

As next years linebackers coach? Not a bad idea.

January 4th, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
Exactly why everyone is so skeptical right now...
January 4th, 2013 at 11:30 AM ^
He just wants free trips and free shit.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:39 AM ^
Who doesn't?
January 4th, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^
I think all of them should take every opportunity to travel and have fun that presents itself. If the thought of a 17 year old enjoying life does anything but put a smile on your face, I feel sorry for you.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
Yeah but, it's January. You go visity USC, UCLA, Miami (YTM) or something. Places that are warm, have hot chicks, and have been known to have boosters who like to have a layer of hundred dollar bills in their hand when they shake yours so they don't get your germs, and who know said hot chicks and can set up a little one on one time if you like. You don't go to Ann Arbor Michigan in January unless you've got serious interest.
January 4th, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
Never thought about this,but I have a theoretical question. Say a kid goes on an official to a school and gets a cash handshake at that school from a booster. Then, he ultimately decides not to go to that school and go somewhere else. If it became public that he accepted money, would it just be the school with the booster that gets in trouble, or could his eligibility be threatened?
January 4th, 2013 at 4:05 PM ^
Both.

As a result of his recruitment in the late 90s, Albert Means got roughly half the SEC investigated and got bowl bans for both Alabama and Kentucky and a suspension for himself. The NCAA will punish anyone who they discover has done wrong.
January 4th, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
And the prospects of being kept warm by semi attractive midwestern chicks.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:50 PM ^
I mean, what 18 year old wouldn't like traveling all over the country hanging out on college campuses for free.
I'd hate to think about what things I would have taken advantage of if I was the #1 RB recruit in the country as a 17/18 year old... No wait, I like thinking about the things I would have done in that situation.

As our old friend TomVH used to say on this very board, "visits can change things."
January 4th, 2013 at 11:36 AM ^
by TomVH.

January 4th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Its not the same. We don't feel as special anymore. He doesn't answer our TomVH emergency beacon like he used to.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
that magazine is simply the worst. i mean, it needs to go away and go away quickly.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:28 AM ^
He has a four year old kid apparently. Wait WHAT?
January 4th, 2013 at 11:30 AM ^
Weren't you sexually active at 14? Everyone I knew was, and this could have happened to ANY of us.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:33 AM ^
Maybe he adopted a kid at 14...
January 4th, 2013 at 11:51 AM ^
Totally. But seriously pretty sure that wouldn't be legal.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
I don't like to start rumors, but I heard that REUBEN FOSTER IS INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:01 PM ^
Obviously, it is only a Foster kid.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
with whoever labeled Shawn Lazarus a sleeper recruit.
January 5th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
Wasn't he involved with 5 dead hookers too?
January 4th, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
Wait..... you're serious?
January 4th, 2013 at 11:37 AM ^
I wish I ran with your crowd when I was 14.
Seriously, though, having a kid doesn't make him a bad...kid.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
would easily be shunned from the Amish community.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:43 AM ^
Yeah, but you're a sheep.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
I can't stand that term. Then I realized he is actually a sheep.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
January 4th, 2013 at 1:22 PM ^
If you have a kid who is 14+, I promise you they're having sex. At the very least oral.
January 4th, 2013 at 2:49 PM ^
Didn't expect this response to come from you of all people. Really?
January 5th, 2013 at 12:13 AM ^
Lighten up, folks. As if I really know the sexual habits of kids I don't know.
I'm sorry I let you down. You probably thought too highly of me.
January 4th, 2013 at 4:07 PM ^
WTF, man?
January 4th, 2013 at 12:54 PM ^
I don't even think I had discovered the wonders of the internet by 14.
January 4th, 2013 at 1:02 PM ^
Virginity ran rampant amongst my cohorts at age 14. Ya know, cooties and all.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:33 AM ^
Why are you surprised?
Lots of high schoolers have four-year-old kids.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
January 4th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
This is along the lines of bragging about your new Carly Rae Jepsen CD.
January 4th, 2013 at 11:48 AM ^
I just listen to that and the glee soundtrack IRONICALLY, OK? Dang.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
So glad I had to look that up...
January 4th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
a CD?
January 4th, 2013 at 11:56 AM ^
January 4th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
Wish i new how to downvote things so i could downvote this.
January 4th, 2013 at 12:47 PM ^
you'll get there. once you're at 100 points you can up and down vote to your heart's content
