Five star wide receiver Robert Foster has yet to make it on campus, but Alabama head coach Nick Saban said Thursday the Pennsylvania native is just one short step away.

"The clearinghouse, the eligibility committee, did not accept one of his classes" Saban explained Thursday at SEC Media Days. "They gave him an opportunity to repeat the class and thats what he is in the process of doing."

"If he repeats the class successfully, he'll be here in the fall."

The addition of Foster would only bolster the Crimson Tide's receiving corps, but his late arrival on campus would likely delay that impact. His late arrival has opened the door for 6-foot-4 receiver target Raheem Falkins and Tight End O.J. Howard, each of who were early enrollees, arriving in January and practicing through the spring.

As a high school senior Foster had 57 carries for 481 yards and 12 touchdowns; 45 catches for 763 yards, and 8 touchdowns; 67 tackles and 4 interceptions.
