No insider but Foster seems like the guy.

Jimbo is up in the air at FSU, I think Rogersnwill stick with TCU and Foster decomitted after our offer a few months back.

Seems very plausible. I can see that being how it stands today.

I just hope we don’t slow play Foster while chasing Rogers down a dead end road.

I doubt they are slow playing Foster; both our Staff and Foster were pretty much enamored with each other. I can see Rogers being recruited harder because of several reasons: A) In-state, B) Marshall, C) Higher rating. But recruiting one harder than the other doesn't necessarily mean slow playing one of them. IF they are, they shouldn't.

I trust the staff’s talent evaluation but they have acted wrecklessly in the past...especially with QB recruiting.

From some perspectives offering Tua last year was not an error. In the end both Narcisse (who had flirted with AU throughout) and Brennen both signed. The uproar and "that's costing us Brennen" narrative was limited to tigerdroppings; going by the net results, it played out well and was not an error. A couple meetings with Canada, and Brennen was back on board.
