STAFF PICKS: Xavier Foster
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
This may be the dumbest post I've ever read here.
Well Foster committing to the hawks would be the final nut shot for the weekend, sigh.
Can someone explain why iowa cleans house on instate BB recruits when its obvious ISU has had the better BB program for most of the last 20 years?
I don't think Fran wanted XF to show him up by attending their last game on Friday and then shoving it in their face on Monday morning.... so he wasn't going to let him show him up. Just an idea. Fran's a hot head and wouldn't take too kindly to that kind of behavior..... so maybe he forced XF hand to either s**t or get off the pot??
No. Just trying to apply logic and have an adult discussion. Try it sometime.
If Foster is down to two choices and the decision is to be made very soon within just a couple days, I have to think he has made up his mind. With that said, I do not understand why he is attending an Iowa game last night if he plans to go to ISU. That is like going to each of your two girlfriend's parties, paying one of them undivided attention and then telling her you are going with the other girlfriend. Doesn't make sense.
Family ties and old memories. Hayden and Lute had some good teams. Dumbest thing Iowa ever did was run Lute off. 2nd was chasing off Dr. Tom both were good for ISU but dumb for their program. I'm sort of surprised how much input families have on their kids selecting a college, my folks were like pick somewhere and go for it.
The only instate kid Iowa has beat us out on lately is Joe W. Every other one we haven't offered
Even that is kind of a stretch. We never really had a chance with him.
Maybe XF knows that us Clone fans are used to getting kicked in the nuts and he wanted to do that too?
Actually, at this point, I don't really care all that much. He's a decent 3 star recruit that is over hyped because he's 7 foot, so he's listed as a 4 star.
Would still be a nice get, but definitely not the end of the world.
He gets evaluated just like anyone else. That’s why he’s a 4 star and you’re neither a recruiting analyst or a basketball coach.
I’m not saying anything about what you posted. I’m just always fascinated that people that run, or are directly associated with, multi multi million dollar programs are willing to talk to even the biggest boosters
I get this thinking, but it's a good thing for ISU, particularly in football that guys don't just automatically choose the place with the better program.
If he goes to UI, so be it. Would love to have him at ISU, but it isn't the end of the world if he goes to Iowa.
Plus the fact it probably buys Fran more time is a pretty good consolation prize for us.
He's a good player but we'll be just fine if he doesn't pick us. Best of luck to him, and if he picks the Hawks I look forward to endlessly mocking him along with the rest of the goobers in that program.
Funny. I was told by two big donors today that it's ISU.
