08:15 AM ET 05.25 | The signing of Julio Jones certainly helped Alabama in its rise as a program. Now Nick Saban and his staff are working to land the signature of the nation's best wide receiver in the hopes that he could have a Julio-like impact on the Tide offense. Monaca, Pennsylvania star Robert Foster is rated by 247Sports as the top wide receiver prospect for the Class of 2013 and the 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect has fielded scholarship offers from dozens of programs from coast to coast. ... Foster's coach tells 247Sports that there is one school guaranteed to receive an official visit. "Alabama may be his only official one definitely," said Mark Lyons, Foster's head coach at Central Valley (Pennsylvania) High School.

Currently the best recruiting pay website. I don't pay but the people who subscribe are better informed than anyone else.

didn't you know. They are going to sign the top 25 players in the country and then add 10 more by oversigning.

Not if Hugh Freeze gets to them first.

So this is how Saban is planning his triumphant return to the NFL.


He's gonna build a team so chock full of talent, the NCAA will tell him he can't play with us regular teams anymore, so he'll have no other place to play than the NFL. Brilliant!

Just trying to out do Nutt, the king of oversigning.

Guess nobody has thought to mention to him that Ole Miss fired Nutt...? Emulating your unsuccessful predecessors isn't the best strategy.

Sports 24 hours, 7 days a week, Sir.

Is recruiting really sports though? Its interesting and all, but reading nothing but HS recruiting stuff 24/7 sounds even worse than watching the LHN.
