I don't believe there has ever been anything to suggest Foster and Zaire were a packaged deal, just fan speculation. They became friends on a Junior Day visit, but a lot of kids have friends - teammates even - that go to different schools.

I'm pretty sure Zaire was quoted saying they were going to go to the same school, not that it matters now.

I know when MD Buckeye cleans up the thread, most of the package deal stuff will go. I still had to post my all time favorite package deal story:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Thompson_(basketball)


Thompson was the No. 1 draft pick of both the American Basketball Association (Virginia Squires) and the National Basketball Association (Atlanta Hawks) in the 1975 drafts of both leagues. He eventually signed with the ABA's Denver Nuggets. Explaining his choice between the establishment NBA and the ABA ? which offered less real money (but more "deferred" over the life of the contract) -- Thompson said when he met with the Hawks, the organization had seemed almost uninterested, to the point of treating him to a meal at McDonald's. Thompson also told the Denver Nuggets he wanted his friend and point guard at N.C. State Monte Towe to have a chance to play in the NBA, and Denver signed Towe to a 2 year contract.




Monte Towe is 5'7".

Agree with you, Zaire had stated they'd like to go to the same school if possible, but I don't think they'd ever actually managed a package deal. I was just pointing out that most of the time when kids bring up a package it doesn't actually happen. Like Washington and Stanford.

You didn't miss anything. All they did was talk about Ohio State & Penn State recruiting him....and there weren't any highlights of him.

'13 PA WR Robert Foster

#1 WR recruit out of PA. This guy has a ton of upside, but can we beat PSU out and get him. I saw a break down of his ability and where the recruiting battle stands on YouTube. Here's the link, what do you guys think of him?

Last I heard, it was a close battle between pitt and osu. Psu wasn't really considered. We've been in on him for a while. The kid is beast.

Lol at that youtube video. PSU wasn't even in his top group in the last one he released IIRC.

The guy in the video didn't say that PSU was one of Foster's top choices. He said that OSU and PSU were among the ones recruiting him the hardest...

PSU might be recruiting him the hardest, but I too have heard that this is a Pitt/Ohio State battle. Unless a school like Florida or Alabama enter the race, I am pretty confident. Chryst and Pitt vs. Urban and Ohio State? I'll take the Buckeyes...:osu:

True, but it's clear they were insinuating that PSU has more of a chance than they actually do...
