Is XF just taking the reins from Niang here or what's the deal? He's clearly made up his mind by now. The fact that he narrowed it down to two is hilarious. Just setting up the ultimate troll job here on the Hawks.
yeah there was that one dude on hn, that really went after cydkar
How confident are you?
I get it’s fun to take it to these insecure hawk fools, and this is a top level troll. but you’re gonna take grief if he goes to Iowa.
I think it is the long-time Iowa State fan in me that still feels XF goes to Iowa! It just works that way right? Hope not...really want to see him develop into a big-time player in Ames!
The school where I work is in the same conference as Osky. During lunch, I was sharing the news that Foster is down to EIU and ISU with a couple of my Hawkfan colleagues. One of them said that he talked with a friend who is friends of the Fosters and claimed that XF would NOT be choosing Iowa. Again, I trust Twins's sources over this one - but I believe this one to also be solid. Funny thing is, the other colleague (Hok alumnus) quickly brought up the fact that XF had foot surgery and that his recruitment has been "strange" and schools have backed away from him due to this injury. My interpretation: "You're pi$$ed about losing a recruiting battle to big brother & this explanation is just an excuse that you will use to push the narrative that FM backed away from recruiting Foster (i.e. 'we really didn't want him')." Usually this type of convo, coming from an alumnus, would have surprised me - but nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to Hokfan behavior.
I know we’ve been snake bitten in the past, but we really need to rid ourselves of this mentality

Not suggesting we lose them to Iowa necessarily...but if you don't think we have lost out on big-time recruits while feeling we are "this" close to snagging them...maybe we follow different programs?
I guess my point is that there is a significant difference between losing a big recruit because of shady practices opposed to losing a guy to Fran...
