STAFF PICKS: Xavier Foster
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
Hey, you be nice to JUCO types, I was a DMACC Bear once.
I thought it was reported over a year ago that XF's father really liked CSP and preferred him to Fran.
Was sifting through some Xavier Foster articles and found this quote from an article written by Matthew Bain two days ago.
The context of the quote comes from someone asking why Iowa can't get highly-rated recruits.
"On paper, this looks more like a mid-major class than a Big Ten class. Of course, that's just on paper. Jordan Bohannon was considered a low- to mid-major prospect, and he's become a Hawkeye legend."
The bolded part has me absolutely DYING. Listen, J-Bo is a nice player who has developed very well from his freshman year to now. But there is absolutely no way he is a Hawkeye Legend as Bain put it. Beloved player and fan favorite? Yes. Legend? Laughable.

I think pairing him with Conditt or Solo next year would give us an elite frontcourt especially on the defensive side. He's still developing. Give him the summer with college coaches and a college strength and training program and he would be a difference-maker next year. Just my opinion.
Xavier made Bossi signing week preview. the last sentence it the most telling on where the national media are on XF decision.

"Who's involved? Iowa and Iowa State.
The latest: As has always been expected, the 7-footer's decision is coming down to the two in-state high majors. He was on both campuses within the last week and his recruitment has been one of the best two-team battles in the 2020 class. The mobile senior is set to announce his college decision during a press conference at his school on Monday morning. Our FutureCast pick is currently favoring Iowa, but nobody feels very certain about which school he may choose."

Hitting buzzer beaters against Rutgers and Northwestern is legendary, indeed.
Sorry, SnowCraig/kids/forgot is thread of century
You're right, without him they would've have made the tournament last year lol. LEGEND.
Veloclone is Mr. Foster? Mr Foster is Veloclone?
This is bigger than when we learned that Finkle is Einhorn!
Jesus, you’ve already started your meltdown. There’s no need to attack recruits that haven’t even signed elsewhere because you’re an unstable lunatic that can’t handle rejection.
Sure, the staff has done all they can, and if Xavier were to choose Iowa there’s likely nothing they could have done differently. It doesn’t mean Foster is dumb, it means he doesn’t prioritize things that are typically most valuable to players that aspire to have success. And please, stop alluding to his Dad taking advantage of his son. This is the Foster’s decision, your bi-polar, insecurities be damned.
There should never be a meltdown over a single recruit going elsewhere. That doesn’t mean we don’t care. I’m sure the staff will care. We’ve recruited him for years and he would really help us win.
im implying kirkwood people are automatically die hard iowa fans. not that juco is bad!
i personally attended DMACC for 1 year before iowa state
I was too. For two summers where I completed my ISU degree requirements for Foreign language and math.
Except Vaughn. We may have been justified in melting down over that one.
