Michigan in Robert Foster's Top 5; Edit-Plus Other Recruiting Updates

According to this article, 5 star WR and arguably the #1 WR in the nation has Michigan in his top 5 along with Alabama, USC, Oregon, and Michigan State.

This is obviously good new, since we're in the top 5 for the #1 receiver in the country, so while there hasn't been much discussion about him on our end, maybe something happens here. I'm surprised by the inclusion of us and MSU though, because OSU and Pitt, two schools that were presumed to be the favorites for a while, were both left out.

Update: From Trieu and 11 Warriors, 3 star OT from Indiana has committed to OSU. This one is legit. I say this because earlier this year he caused a stir by tweeting he committed to OSU when he actually had no offer. Must have earned one after FNL.

Update: 2014 Top 50 LB Clifton Garrett from Illinois, who was at FNL last night and is at the BBQ this weekend just tweeted that MSU had a lead over OSU before FNL, and still has a slight lead. *Edit: Will not be at BBQ, thanks to Spartanfan for the correction.

Update: According to his twitter, Channing Stribling was invited to the Marine AA game in LA. Nice to see another recruit getting some accolades, especially one as under the radar as Stribling.

Got invited to the Marine All-American game in LA...came in unknown again...

Like you said, I am very suprised by the omission of OSU and the inclusion of MSU and UM in Fosters top 5. 

I would also recommend not trying to understand what tOSU does...no logical person should voluntarily perform this exercise.

Foster said some negative things when he visited. Then there was the issue that Urban told both him and Quan they were #1

...just one man's opinion.

You're correct, been updated on every site I checked, including 11 Warriors, as a walk-on spot.

He's confused.  By his own words, he was "guaranteed a spot in the 105 man roster"... which is code for preferred walk-on.

I don't think so.  Everything I've heard has him staying very close to home (as in Pitt).  Supposedly he has a small child as well, which would factor into the decision.

So if his child was big boned, he would play farther from home?

Maybe he'll be the second 5 star R. Foster to commit to Bama then flip to Auburn in the same year.

I thought Foster had some serious character issues or maybe it was simply grade issues? I can't remember where I read that, but I figured it was why the buzz around him has been so quiet.

It'll be interesting to see how the ohio fans spin 3-star OT's commit to ohio.  When he tweeted a couple of months ago that he committed, but it turned out he didn't even have an offer, the fanbase kind of went off on him as not even good enough to play for ohio.  Now, suddenly he is.

Foster has a new Top 5? About a week ago he had a top 4 of OSU, Pitt, Bama and MSU. Pitt was #1 because he just had twins and wants to stay close to home for them. weird...
