Re: DJ Foster
Yeah Matt Prehm tweeted the same thing. Whether he committed or not it's good news & sounds like things have swung in our favors.

Re: DJ Foster
Good to hear, though it would be even more comforting to hear these statements coming from somewhere besides the 24/7 staff. Sometimes they tend to exaggerate/create stories to get interest towards their site.
Either way, this would be big.

Re: DJ Foster
Matt Prehm was another one that I noticed. Earlier he tweeted "Huge recruiting news!" with a link to a Duck Territory member area. The thread that is links to is titled "Coach Cam's meeting with D.J. Foster."
Typically I would just write this off as Prehm doing his job and marketing for the pay site. But that seems a little direct to be ploy to pull us in and sign up. Along with several other tweets that I did go back and look for, but are buried somewhere in my timeline.
But it does sound like things have possibly turned in a positive direction! Go Ducks!

Big +1. I take everything they say with a HUGE grain of salt cause they way over-hype everything.dd10snoop28 wrote:Good to hear, though it would be even more comforting to hear these statements coming from somewhere besides the 24/7 staff.

Re: DJ Foster
Foster did not commit, but he is definitely more into Oregon than he was. We'll see though..

Oregon better never let Campbell go! I've always thought he is the best position coach on the team. He makes RB's so much better, even if they come in 5 stars! Such a great coach, we're lucky to have him.

Except for Lache.... and he has gotten in recruiting trouble before. But he is still a great human being, a man of faith, he develops deep relationships with his backs and I agree he is a good coach in my opinon.

Re: DJ Foster
I am a little skeptical we get him. A new coach always comes in with great buzz and is undefeated at the new school. A blank slate like Wilcox for example can pitch all the reasons he was hired with virtually nothing to contradict his claims for future greatness.
I really want Foster but think we would have had a much better chance if a wounded DE had been retained for another year with a sword hanging over his head.

Re: DJ Foster
See, to me this is just more of the same. He already said weeks ago that if he uses his head, he's at Oregon and if he uses his heart he's a Sun Devil. So, operating off that, I just don't see how anything changes much. ASU could make a hire that he likes and he still ends up a Sun Devil so I'm not convinced anything has actually changed.TheMaehlMan wrote:Foster did not commit, but he is definitely more into Oregon than he was.

Re: DJ Foster
Noel Mazzone, the former ASU OC was just hired by UCLA. Wonder if they will now be in the picture for Foster?
Just noticed UCLA also hired Steve Broussard, the former ASU WR coach.

Re: DJ Foster
With the hire of Graham at ASU and all of ASU's assistants being poached by other Pac-12 schools, I think Foster may start looking towards USC and Oregon more.

Re: DJ Foster
http://www.sbnation.com/college-footbal ... recruitingDec 20, 2011 - Running back D.J. Foster, one of the better backs in the country, has a new leader after visiting Cal over the weekend, per ESPN:
Foster already has visited Arizona State and Oregon and still has a trip set to USC (Jan. 13). Right now, the Bears are definitely the team to beat.
"Cal is my leader; I loved it there," Foster said. "I have a lot of family in Oakland, and my mom actually grew up in Berkeley. I’ve been there before, but this was really my first time seeing Cal up close, and it was incredible. The campus is great and I loved the overall atmosphere there. The facilities are incredible and easily the best I’ve ever seen.
Ehhh???
Was he blindfolded for the trip to Oregon or is he misquoted here....I find that statement hard to believeThe facilities are incredible and easily the best I’ve ever seen.

Wow. Cal is always our most hated enemy in recruiting, no doubt.QuackininBama wrote:http://www.sbnation.com/college-footbal ... recruitingDec 20, 2011 - Running back D.J. Foster, one of the better backs in the country, has a new leader after visiting Cal over the weekend, per ESPN:
