Are you going to say Foster is a lousy recruiter, if he doesn't bring in the equivalent of:
The number one QB recruit in the country.
Maybe the best RB in school history, the 9th leading rusher in school history, and a 5 year NFL rb.
Over a period of 5 years, d-linemen equating to Davis-Hickman-Harwell-Brown-Price,
An 2nd team AA linebacker w/ a 5 year pro career, a first team all-conference linebacker. And, jag's of the quality of Christian Taylor, Korey and Kyle Bosworth
At DB, Two NFL guys, one played 5 years, one 10 (Verner), another guy that signed a FA contract, a guy of Dennis Keyes' caliber.
A 10 year NFL TE
Receivers the quality of Everett-Breazell-Cowan? And Terrence Austin - who had the 2nd and 4th best total yardage seasons in UCLA history? And, Matt Slater? I'd thought Foster was already ahead on this, but the 4 guys in the 2026 class that people are raving about? a 4 star and 3 three stars.
And, his horrible OL recruiting that included: Four-star OT prospect by Max Emfinger; PrepStar Dream Team selection and ranked No. 7 nationally among offensive linemen ... SuperPrep All-American and No. 35 OL nationally; the No. 22 prospect in the West and No. 21 OL prospect in the nation by TheInsiders.com ... SuperPrep All-American (No. 36 OL) ..; Max Emfinger six-star selection as an offensive guard ... PrepStar All-American ... SuperPrep All-FarWest (No. 83 prospect) ... All-West selection (No. 74 prospect) by Tom Lemming ... A four-star selection by rivals.com ... Rated No. 12 nationally among offensive guards by rivals.com ... And, a few three stars. I mean, this was a horrible position group, Foz has to do better than that.
So, if Foz doesn't meet that standard, you're going to be saying he's a terrible recruiter, right? Cause all I said was "recruiting wasn't Dorrell's problem. If the above was a "big problem" under Dorrell, then Foster equaling it, would be a "big problem" and doing worse? Huge problem, by your standards, right?
Cause that's not my opinion. I said if Foster recruits as well as Dorrell, I'll be happy.
