Xavier Foster Committed To Iowa State
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
Yeah, they are actually getting some length to the team next year where a zone might be a pretty good defense for them at times.
I really hope Xavier doesn't turn out to be our White Whale. So much potential...so much unrealized still. If it's going to take 2 years to get him into just a role type of player...ugh
I once thought I had mono for an entire year. Turns out I was just really bored.
JFC man. He’s a 7 foot ish guy with a nice outside stroke and elite shot blocking ability from Iowa. Everyone should be jizzing their pants and you’re being a little ***** about it. It’s okay to be excited and positive in this situation. I promise you won’t lose any street cred with the nut cuppers.
I think what he can bring from outside and what he can bring from a rebounding perspective is going to make it hard for teams to small ball him to the bench.
He's a douche.

Also interesting that if you look up what Frank Garza is doing now, he appears to be in some kind of legal con now. He has teamed up with Guru Ganesha Khalsa ( who is a white guy pretending to be a sikh guru) to run a company called Conscious Selling, lol. Basically provide sales training but combined with eastern philosophy and also some kind of sports company that I guess trains athletes, it isn't clear but the Guru is involved in that as well.
He got caught doing something that's not legal and served an athletic suspension. Having mono was the cover. I have multiple sources from school officials, current players who play against him, and referees. It's not a big deal, I just don't want it to be an issue in college as we all know there are a lot more temptations on campus.
I think you are overly concerned.
I'm really not, it's just a little red flag. I'm sure he knows what he's got to lose, and hopefully that was the wake up call he needed. No big deal.
I think the right approach is be realistic. The reality is likely somewhere between these two posts. Foster is going to be a strong player for Iowa State. If you watch the first four minutes of the Grinnell game posted in this thread you see a ton of potential. If you realize that on average he shot the ball really well and just had a bad shooting night in that video you understand at his size there's again a ton of potential.
If you watch the whole game though you also realize there's a lot of work to be done to realize that potential. If people are jizzing their pants expecting him to turn things around next year by himself they are going to likely be disappointed.
I'd put expectations somewhere around George Conditt in his freshman year with a little more score due to his shooting ability.
I've watched him play several time over the past few years. He's going to he better than Conditt's freshman year, but not a super star. He just doesn't get too worked up over high school games; especially this year because his team isn't great.
No, school administrators from a competing school. If you ask around you will know it's the truth, not just a rumor. I am friends with multiple high school referees that have all told me the exact same story. It's not some big conspiracy. The kid made a mistake and let's hope he learns from it.
