    - Foster commits to Bama

    - Foster moves states to go to high school in Auburn. Bama fans are suspicious

    - Foster assures Bama fans he is committed to the program.

    - A month later, Foster reads the exact same speech TJ Yeldon read when he flipped from AU to Bama at the press conference. He then shows his AU tattoo that Trooper Taylor branded on his arm.

    - AU goes full retard and coaches get fired....weedline laughs

    - Foster says he is still committed to AU and will remain committed

    - The same day, he says he is no longer committed, and is looking around. AU is still very much in it he says....but maybe not

    - A few weeks later he tells people no way he is going to AU b/c of how they treated da Troopah.

    - That changes, and he then names a top 3 of Bama, AU, UGA.....adds LSU later that night to make 4

    - Then takes random Washington official visit out of the blue

    - UGA takes lead, AU out

    - AU back in, 50/50 with UGA, likes new coaches and wants to honor cousin

    - May not announce on signing day, wants to be sure

    - TBC

    this kids wins and it's not even close. The award needs to be renamed the Foster award. Willie IWllams thinks Foster is retarded

    I say Nkemdiche.

    Strong lean to Bama during JR year.

    Goes to Clemson during summer, rumors swirl he committed.

    Tells Rivals he committed to Clemson.

    23 H.S. teammates get offers from Clemson and commit.

    Decommits from Clemson.

    Almost commits to Ole Miss.

    Announces Clemson and Alabama aren't finalists, but LSU is.

    If he commits to LSU, he wins the award IMO.

    ^^^ Or this
    Recruits make the best trolls.
    Props to all those mentioned.

  • Ummmm has anyone forgot about the kid that committed to Cal in a big school ceremony and he didn't even have a offer. What a dumbshit

  • Keith Bryant should win this award in a landslide.

    Yeah if anyone has a better recruitment than Kiel's, I'm open to changing the name. I started off with the Landon Collins award, but I think Kiel's was better.

    Why Landon Collins? He committed to one school throughout his whole recruitment and signed with them. Just because his mother was nuts had nothing to do with him. Gabe Wright and Kiel make sense, but Collin's was about as legit as it came. He committed to us at the UA game and signed when he was supposed to.

    Edit: That being said, it's got to either be Foster or Nkemdiche this year. Depends on where Foster ends up because he's the frontrunner right now. If he sticks with AU and Nkemdiche goes to anywhere than Ole Miss, it's him.

    His dad (UF alum) used it as an excuse to say OSU wasn't looking after his kid on a visit...which was comical because it was an unofficial visit so HIS MOM was supposed to be resposible for him there, not the school!

    And this clown (the kid, not dad lol) was tweeting back and forth with said sex predator about meeting up at a party. Public electronic foolishness at its finest.

    That being said, I vote Foster

  • If Reuben Foster doesn't commit to Auburn*, the award should be named after him. He is head and shoulders better than the other guys listed except RN, but RN has only decommitted once.

    The stature of Foster will lend a better recognition for the award.

    *Assuming he qualifies.

    There is always one or two. Nkemdiche and Foster this year. Others that come to mind are Seastrunk, Gabe Wright, Bryce Brown, Kiel and if you give me five minutes; I swear that I could come up with about five more.

  • The award should be re-named to the "Jordan Payton award."

    Jordan Payton went from a USC commit, to a Cal commit (he made his announcement at the Army All-American game), to a Washington commit, and finally chose UCLA at the last second.

    By the way, he was even a silent commit to Michigan at one point.

  • Christian Lacouture deserves a trip to the awards ceremony. Originally played for Permian, transferred to a school in College Station for his Jr year after committing to A&M. Flips to Nebraska and moves to a HS in Lincoln for his Sr year. NOW just enrolled early at LSU. Check him for tattoos and he wins

    And hearing he is going to have grade issues, - meaning he'll go to a Juco or prep school, then probably commit to someone outside of these 4 - thus adding to the "recruitment drama".

    hopefully he makes it out of the gate, even though the recruitment is a joke - wish the kid the best and hopefully he lands in the right spot.

  • But there should be several awards in honor of recruits -

    The Gunner Kiel Award - An EE that is committed and shows up elsewhere and enrolls. - I think Anzalone takes the cake here, since enrolling in UF the day after he was committed to ND

    The Landon Collins Award - Family member goes crazy (or is crazy) after their son picks somewhere they dont want him to go.

    The Reuben Foster Award - Someone who cant make up their mind if its day or night, and moves to the hometown of a rival school while committed to the other school. Has to have committed and decommitted from both.

    The RN Award - A recruit that commits to a school to get his "buddies" offers, then decommitts later

    The Kevin Hart - Committing to a school that had no clue who you were.

    These may help in the future to announce award winners..

  • Caleb Benenoch should at least get honorable mention.

    Texas OT commits to Michigan State without so much as a visit.
    Everybody outside of East Lansing raises an eyebrow.
    Benenoch attends a football camp at Texas and tweets a picture of him doing the "Hook em"
    The next day he decommits from MSU
    Tweets that MSU is "still in it"
    Publicly states that "Texas and OU are in (his) Top 5. If Stanford offers, they'll also be in it. Outside of that, it's a toss up"
    Goes on to say his parents like Northwestern and Purdue and even if those two schools don't make his top 5, he might take officials there.
    Gives obligatory "academics are important" speech
    Follows THAT up with "UT for me, is above everybody else"
    Narrows his list to Texas, Northwestern, Stanford, Baylor, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas. lol
    Commits to UCLA.
