He seems like a high 4 to 5 star on every site.

He'll likely end up a five-star here if he stays in the same spot he is now.

He seems to have great measurables. 6'-3" 170lbs 4.5-40. Well he might be a bit underweight though. He still has another year of high school to go so he could/should put some weight on. On why we haven't offered him yet, he is still only a junior in high school. They can't officially offer him till September 1st of his senior year anyways. I wouldn't be too worried. Im sure the coaches will give him a look in due time.

It will come soon enough. We only have 30 or so 2013 verbal offers out there so far. Recruiting is not a sprint!

Often times these heights, weights and 40 times are not current. FWIW, other sites have him at 190. His weight is fine.

good question.
Robert Foster is hands down the best WR in the B1G region. No excuse for him not being offered yet. None.

Wow 190?! Well that's a baller right there. Hope we extend an offer out to him. I wish we didn't worry so much about whether a recruit from 2013 is getting an offer right now or why haven't they already received one. These offers being sent out right now aren't legit. I bet he gets on as soon as the season is over though.

No excuse? Let the coaches do their job..they're doing a fine job. Not to mention he's a JUNIOR, so just relax, I'm sure he will get an offer.

LOL. Overreact much? This staff obviously knows how to recruit, sheesh.

Talking about juniors now is a good thing. We are lucky to be able to get a jump on the '13 class, not every program is this position. Some kids never forget who their first offer was. In some cases getting the early jump can be a huge factor.

Oh yeah I get that. I think it is fantastic how far along we are already for the 2013 class. I just feel worrying about someone who can't even obtain a real scholarship till next September is not worth it. I have no problem discussing recruits for next year though. I should probably change my wording.

I agree with Chuck. I think it is great that we are getting an early start for the 2013 class. Even though it is boring after the flurry of recruits we got early in the cycle that allows the staff to concentrate on the guys who tend to wait until the end.
I hadn't heard about Foster until now. I trust that the coaches know what they are doing and agree that he will get one once they concentrate fully on recruiting again.

That is what I mean, you want to get in a kids ear EARLY.

In this day of college football you have to concentrate on recruiting year-round.

I know, but right was mainly talking about periods where the coaches can actually contact and visit recruits.
