Xavier Foster removed from team; target of sexual assault investigation

[GetAwesome]

Most of us wouldn't have done any better given the same stress and circumstances, but man, if the goal was to make a clear statement of innocence, express remorse and/or accountability, or even just make a clear pitch that his recruitment is now open, I'm guessing that attorney is wishing he would've just drafted an email.

Happy he had his name cleared, relieved for his and her parents to move this behind them, hope the others in this situation are doing well, and hopefully Randy doesn't now ask TJ about this in the postgames from here on out.

IN fairness to Foster, the thread title should be changed since he has been cleared of the sexual claims

 

[JP4CY]

Glad to hear from you that he sounds more grown up. I wasn't making the best choices, like many, at that age.

"There is some unfinished business with the University we will see how it goes..."

He’s got a high powered lawyer im sure he will find a way to get money from ISU

 

[67CY]

Did Randy get to ask question?

 

[jmb]

He handled that very well. Hope he lands somewhere on his feet and has success.

Agreed. Right up until the end with Parrish ending it somewhat ominously.

 

[jmb]

Is that from his attorney? If so I'm going to imagine he wishes his client hadn't just admitted it was largely his fault for being dismissed...

I think that the if they were to come guns blazing for ISU it would not make it quite as easy to have a soft landing elsewhere. I X struck a great tone.

Your Honor, I would like to enter the following statement by Mr. Foster into evidence --

“It wasn’t the case that I was released for,” Foster said. “With my foot being injured… I showed up late to practice and tutoring… I would have been released either way.”

Doesn't sound like somebody about to lean into litigation to be making devastating statements against his own case in public with several members of the press there to record everything.

He's going to try to come back I bet

It doesn't seem like it. He was asked that directly and he said without much hesitation "no I want to go someplace warm." He was asked about Indian Hills. Dad answered said "we are not in a position to big league anybody but we think there are better opportunities...juco will be there but we hope for something else."

Waco is warm and they recruited him hard before. I'll say Baylor or a LA school.

Even his mom kinda stated that he was being “like an 18 year”. She was kinda subdued almost embarrassed for the way he had acted.

Yes.

 

[Cyforce]

Foster may get in a MVC team and average 10 ppg and 5 RPG. He just doesn’t have the drive to become great for his athleticism and size.

Has Wm Penn written all over this.

Louisville.

How much of that has to do with living accommodations? I'm sure it's only a small part, but my dorm room was an 8x8 prison cell. Community showers. No air. The stuff I see now is like living in the lap of luxury.

Zero, tuition has nothing to do with housing.

if you know about Parrish and who he represents, he usually walks away with more than he ever should. I’m well aware what foster said.

 

[ScottyP]

He almost sounded like he was blaming being let go on his injury.

Probably could/will sue… tie his injury into ADA.

I don't think they will make a stink, the things he was actually kicked off the team for are probably things that would limit future schools taking a chance on him
