This could've been sandwiched into the 2013 Recruiting Thread, but I figured it was worthy of its own. Mods, if you want to move it, it's all good but I figured it would just get gobbled up in the other thread and it could make for some good discussion in and of itself.
That being said, the player (NOT YET SIGNED) that I would like to see most in this class is probably Robert Foster. I would say it's just for the need of a serious playmaker at WR, but it goes beyond that. I guess I feel like without him, we have all of the major needed puzzle pieces for a complete class in good shape (QB thru MLB). With him though, I think we not only get the play-by-play threat like the Ginn & Co., but we take PA's top player AGAIN. I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses holding their breath everytime Teddy touched the ball because no matter what, there was always that chance it was going for 6. Feels like ages since we've had that. Even with Beanie/Posey/Boom/Hall/etc, it just hasn't been the same. Another perk is that if Zaire is leaning on him to come to tOSU like he says he is, then that probably means if we get Foster, Malik is in the fold as well...which some already think to be true anyway.
Before there are 1,000 name drops of similar threats who we are onto or hope to land, I know there are playmakers galore on our board, but I think in the '13 class, Foster is in a league of his own. At a position we've been dying for an instant impact player (no disrespect to Smith/Brown/Fields or any others). Lastly, I know Teddy is a once in a generation kind of talent, but if there is one similar in this class, I think it's Foster and he'd be HUGE in S&G.
