Foster doesn't have 2 years. He only has one year left and already used a redshirt year. So a traditional transfer won't work since you have to sit out a year.

If he's healthy and wants to come to Pitt, what's the downside to taking him? At worst, he would add mature depth at the WR position.
So, people keep saying that, but they realize the best programs in the country (like Alabama) take transfers every year, right?
The smell of obsession... That and the number of posts and the negative tone to them...
He can't come to Pitt for 2017. He's not going to graduate from Alabama this year, so he'd have to transfer to D2 in order to play in 2017.
why pick psu ? why not pick wvu, vt, md.. etc...
can see it now.. bananas foster.. I should have stayed home and not be driving to games in my dad's old suv..
If Pitt could've found two quality cb transfers this year they'd had been a top 10 team.
Amazing how many snobs around here.
I'd take him on Pitt's team any day.

Does anyone know how healthy he is at this point? He's been hurt for most of his career, so why believe he'll continue to be anything but hurt going forward? Have any of these injuries diminished his skills?
I remember reading that the thing that held him back at Bama was that he struggled with routes and really getting the playbook down. I don't know if that was actually true or not.
But his health, current skill level, attitude, ability to fit into a new system are extremely important; way more important than how many stars he had coming out of HS.

-We score more points per game than Alabama, our offense is better than Alabama, and we played a far tougher schedule than Alabama. Alabama hasnt even played 1 Top 10 team. We played 3.
I agree. He's not going to PSU, which has a very deep and very talented group of receivers already in the program.
His chances of making a contribution are much better elsewhere.
It's not snobbery.
It's not wanting to reward a guy whose dad took a bag of cash in order for him to change his choice on signing day.
He hasn't played in 4 years.
Your time is better spent trying to turn Flowers and Matthews into big time WR's for the next 3 years vs trying to take the rust off this guy who turned his nose up at Pitt 4 years ago. Take your degree and move on with your life Robert. Go back home to Midland and show your dad how you guys made the right decision.

Especially when even Alabama does this to further prove your point. The reason why Foster isn't playing much, is the transfer bama got from Bowling Green of all places. If Bama can take the occasional transfer I think Pitt can too.
you act like he was working at the local market the past 4 years. He was at the clear number one program in the country practicing against DBs who are among the best in the nation. There is no rust to take off.
I take the kid. He is if nothing else....an SEC caliber athlete. And while we scored a ton of points...and many of Blewitts kickoffs were non returnable....a Robert Foster on special teams may make sense.
He wouldnt stunt the growth of Aaron, Reuben or Tre.......but may make our S teams better.
I would absolutely take the kid

-No. I just dont ride Alabama's jock strap like other people do. The way they recruit you would think they would have 30 pro bowl players in the NFL. They arent even remotely close. BTW, Pitt beat Clemson at Clemson. So no I dont think Alabama would blow us off the field when Ole Miss almost took them down. The SEC is garbage this year.
Nobody has shown that he is graduating or that he's even transferring. This is a yearly thing with RF for 4 years now.
Pitt has a great offense this year really ,but outside of Conners and Henderson not one other guy would see the field .
-Pitts entire Offensive Line would see the field as all 5 of Pitts players are NFL bound at some point.
-Another bullshit comment about Alabama.
If that really happened, then I'm not sure I pin that on a 17 year old child that followed his dad's poor lead. His mom that showed up to the presser in blue and gold thinking he was Pitt-bound... wouldn't this be sweet justice served for her pro-Pitt stance?
Regardless, until there is proof he is actually transferring (absolutely none provided by the OP yet), this just remains a non-sense topic.
-When his players dominate at the NFL level, thats when Ill start listening. They have no one in the entire 100 year history of their program that isnt even in the same stratosphere right now as a player like Larry Fitzgerald, Aaron Donald, Darelle Revis, or LeSean McCoy. You can throw Andy Lee in there too. Its well known you are a closet Bama fan.
You ride a whole lot of far less deserving jock straps like a rodeo champ though, that's for sure.
Wondering what else Saban and his program need to do to earn the coveted Steel Seal of Approval? When they beat the snot out of their opponent in the NC game in January, that will make 5 NCs in 10 years under Saban. Will that do it, or not?
-I give the man credit. He's taken advantage of a historic time in college football when Coaching is way down. Had we switched back to the 90's when Bowden was in his prime, Tom Osborn was in his prime, Spurrior was in his prime, etc... it would be a far different story. Its the Saban Meyer show with ESPN putting out a new Bama article by the hour. Id love to see these Saban teams line it up against Powerhouse Florida State and Nebraksa in the 90's. And Yes, I think 95 Nebraska would have clowned any Saban team
We are 44th in total offense, Bama is 23rd. We are 28th in SOS per Sagarin, Bama is 7th. We have scored more points on the season than Bama, but they have played against better defenses.
4-8 lower-tier P5 program Syracuse just scored 61 points on us. That terrible Miami team of yours doubled us up. Yet you want to talk smack about Bama. And the primary basis for your criticism is apparently their relative shortage of alums who have made the pro-bowl.
You continue to amaze.
-How many teams has Bama played this year that have won at least 8+ games? SOS is a useless measure. Wisconsin has a higher rated SOS than Pitt, and the win percentage of the teams Pitt has played blows Wisconsin and Penn State away.
-By the way, you are the jackass I argued with over the summer that tried to tell me its impossible to have a good offense that runs 60% of the time. You need balance and passing, you and others told me. Well I told you 65% + we should run it, and we are at 67%, scoring 44 points per game, and averaging almost 50 points per game the last 5 games. Your theory of a power run game and running at least 65% of the time and not working today has been proven to be idiotic. Nebraska 1995 would score 70+ on most of the teams today. And 1995 Nebraska would score at will against Bama.
I'd love to hear your "etc." here. You must have several other all time coaches during the 90s you want to mention. I'm sure we would all like to be enlightened.
You know it is Osborne, not Osborn, right?
Everyone disagrees with you.

you have to seriously have some screws loose in your head if your trying to call out Saban and his alabama teams. Seriously.
2015....national champs
2012...national champs
2011...national champs
2009...national champs
2003...national champ season with LSU.
soon to be 2016 national champs. when saban retires he is going down as one of the greatest college coaches ever.

If Ole Miss can score 50 on Alabama. 1995 Nebraska would break 100, the greatest offense of all time
Well, I guess Alabama is safe then because Ole Miss has never scored 50 on them in over 60 games played.
Dwight Stephenson, John Hannah, Ozzie Newsome and Lee Roy Jordan all called. The line was busy.
you must have been talking to your shrink......
Bart Starr and Joe Namath were too busy to waste a phone call on you...and if Kenny Stabler was alive, he likely would have said "F&*K him.....i'd rather have a few beers on the Redneck Riviera".....
@steel_curtain can you please enlighten us with the rest of your "etc." list and why everyone else is wrong about Saban and Meyer and the rankings of those coaches?
-Yea, you are right. Ole Miss only scored 43 vs Bama. Bama has played ZERO top 10 teams this year.
-1995 Nebraska? Played 4 Top 10 teams, beat every one of them by at least 24 points. And won the National Title over #2 Florida by 38 points.
-Yes, 1995 Nebraska would absolutely steamroll any Saban team at Bama. ANY of them.
Most definitely. Can you imagine what they would do if they were coached by Tom Osborn? Probably even better.
He would be a 5th year transfer and eligible immediately and it has a very high likelihood of happening. Injuries have been his problem at Alabama. He always wanted to come to Pitt, it was his father that made the decision for him. I hope he is a Panther next year and has the breakout season the propels him to the NFL.
