Foster timeline is right around when Woodbury v2.0 graduates, assuming he decides to come back and isn't a one and done.

I found this portion of the article interesting:
Iowa had a head start.
Greer called Hawkeye Assistant Sherman Dillard early this spring and told him he had a good one. Dillard looked into it and monitored Foster’s progress.
“Some coaches will take that information and say it’s a 14 year old and wait on it. But he showed interest and followed up and trailed his progression,” Greer said. “I give him kudos for it because the other schools I reached out to didn’t do so. Because Iowa was the first one to follow his progression and give him the offer, now everybody is kind of following suit. It’s like, oh, he’s got that type of potential..."

So, you call Iowa FIRST to recommend the kid (which leads me to believe that there was already an existing relationship between Greer and IA coaches), and then give the Hoks props for their follow-up on the kid. I think someone needs to send Greer a tape of the Iowa Coaching Staff's development of Basabe and Woodbury - perhaps he would think twice about recommending a big man to the Hoks.

I took it as the rest of the schools aren't as desperate as Franimal.

Foster may not be a lock for Iowa. And he is much more athletic than Woodbury could ever dream to be.

I'm impressed. Kid looks pretty good, from was his what, FR year?

It's about time we had a good hoops prospect in Central Iowa.

He's originally from New Orleans so not a Hawk lean!

If we continue to get to the second weekend (and beyond) in the NCAA's and Iowa kids rather go to Iowa over us, that's their loss. We're a much better brand of basketball, so you'd think it would be appealing to in-state kids, but who knows.
But Fran does it the right way!
