Reuben Foster's Press Conferece

[thejumper5]

Today, 5-star LB Rueben Foster flipped his commitment from Alabama to Auburn. Here are his statements from his PC today:

Over the last few weeks I've really put a lot of thought and time into where I will play football. I want to make an announcement so I can put this behind me and get in all the work I need to do for high school and to get better for college both academically and athletically. I am going to enroll at Auburn University.

I have a lot of respect for Alabama and the coaches and all of the other people and fans. At the end of the day, I feel Auburn University is the place for me and my family and I am 100 percent confident in my final decision. I feel great about my decision and I'm excited to get started.

His statements are interesting because of their eerie similarity to quotes by RB TJ Yeldon. Yeldon was a 5-star back in last year's class who flipped from Auburn to Alabama. Here are Yeldon's statement from when he flipped:

I want to make an announcement so I can put this behind me and get to work on the things I need to do to prepare for college both athletically and academically. I am going to enroll at the University of Alabama in January.

I have a lot of respect for Auburn, the coaches, and all of the people there, but at the end of the day I feel like the University of Alabama is the best situation and fit for me and my family. I am 100 percent confident with my final decision. I feel great about it and I'm excited to get started.

Auburn paid his dad more then Alabama this time, they do their recruiting in a silent auction format.

Have you guys heard about that 4-star DB, Reuben Sammich? Dude is evidently fairly salty. His speed has been described as "delicious".

Auburn paid more, no doubt. I know a pretty big LSU booster down in houma, la that owns an offshore drilling company. he can't stand les miles but he says he still "helps" him recruit. he said "its a battle of cash and how much ***** you can throw at a black kid with a hard on". SEC football is about as dirty as it gets.

Update:
After committing to Auburn back in July, he got this tattooed on his arm:

Yesterday, he signed with Alabama. Gotta love SEC football.
