STAFF PICKS: Xavier Foster

[mitchforcy]

Pretty sure CyTwins just gets his info from 247 and pretends it’s his. At least that’s my suspicion based on the timing of what’s posted over there by some respected posters, then he posts similar things here shortly after.

247 gets their inside info from Twins. Find a new slant.

lol what?

 

[Doc]

Watching clips of Foster all I can think of is how special an athlete Lard is.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Friendly reminder to not be a tool and tweet at him if he chooses Iowa.

LOL at someone disagreeing with this.

 

[Cat Stevens]

He’s saying he really didn’t know jack squat the whole time.

well if there ever was an expert on this, you are certainly one

 

[GTO]

If he does go to Iowa, I really hope we curb-stomp them all 4 years he's there, with possibly some tears by senior season.

Too much?

 

[Cat Stevens]

maybe yeah but trust me... the fans will be way more upset about this than the coaches are and they’re the ones that actually invested time and money into this.

ISU will be active on the mid year transfer market and in all likelihood will land a player better than Xavier, albeit a shorter cyclone career than he would’ve had.

You do know the prohm haters will pile on because of this.

gonna be a hoot.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Let's beat the hawks with the players that want to be Cyclones. I give zero pooooop emojis about players NOT playing for us...

 

[Cat Stevens]

How so?

Nunge/P Mcafrey/ look like they’ve got 3-4 spots locked up next 3-4 years after this year. XF isn’t a 5 man that Iowa plays

do you honestly think he wasn’t guaranteed a starting spot?

come on

Too much?

I really don’t care if he goes to Iowa

 

[Acylum]

I'm beginning to think we may have dodged a bullet here.

 

[Pharmacy99]

I'm beginning to think we may have dodged a bullet here.

Really? Why?

 

[mitchforcy]

In all reality foster is a project and will probably take a few years to become a major contributor. With that said I’d love to have him on board and we need to start getting these guys within our own borders.

 

[Acylum]

Really? Why?

I mean if he ends up at Iowa. I should've made that clearer.

 

[Lafaester54]

If he does go to Iowa, I really hope we curb-stomp them all 4 years he's there, with possibly some tears by senior season.

Too much?

I kind of hope we stomp them every year no matter who their players are. Also, I’ve never thought he was a game changer.

 

[Cyforce]

Anderson isn't a P5 player

Exactly, so why would "He" choose to leave a P5 where he is basically guaranteed to see the floor next year due to lack of bigs?

 

[IASTATE07]

In all reality foster is a project and will probably take a few years to become a major contributor. With that said I’d love to have him on board and we need to start getting these guys within our own borders.

Why do we need to get them? Our most successful run has been done without Iowa kids. Recruiting is the least of my worries.

 

[Cat Stevens]

My question, I guess, is what kind of player is he? I don’t mean skill set, I mean, when healthy, is he a top level talent?

and conversely, how does the reality of what his talent lever align with his families perceptions of his talent level?

I would really like an answer to this from people that have seen him. I saw one game when he was a sophomore at the state tournament.

I know his recruiting also cooled off. And he was hurt over the summer.

I also remember Adam Woodbury winning mvp at the lebron camp too.

But what is his ceiling?

 

[Beyerball]

This will be a 5 or 6 man class for Iowa and even with XF is a mitigated disaster..

we are not done by any means.. would not surprise me at all to see us sneak in a mid year transfer..

don’t forget we have a sit out in Javon Johnson right now who will play a major role next year as well with 3 years left..

 

[Cat Stevens]

The continuing inability to land a top instate recruit means more than getting the actual player. It would be nice to get some momentum in that area as Lipseys recruitment heats up.

I guess I’m wondering who we lost? Weiskamp wasn’t going anywhere else but Iowa.

green wasn’t going anywhere else but Uni.

Lipsey won’t make any decisions based upon who these guys selected. He will consider his options, and go where he feels is best for him.
