Streaming of the Xavier Foster announcement

I want to believe he's picking Iowa but until I see it I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

Yeah, I'm not going to hold my breath either.

It's just hard for me believe he plans to go to Iowa State after going to the game last night at Carver and being all chummy with the Iowa players afterward. Plus, the fact someone close to the Iowa State program is saying Iowa State coaches claim they have no clue where Xavier is going leads me to doubt it as well.

Stranger things have happened, though.
 
No one seems to know with any certainty where Foster is going, but I like Iowa's chances more than I did a month ago.
 
I honestly think Iowa is the fit for him. Iowa likes to run and put up points and let their big men let it fly from the outside. That is Foster to a "T". Iowa gets more homegrown, "small town Iowa" talent than Iowa State. It seems like Iowa State brings in more out of state talent than Iowa does. I guess players I'm thinking of recently are like Weiskamp, Pemsl, Kreiner, Bohanon, Baer, the McCaffrey's, Jok, Oglesby, Uthoff, Woodbury, McCabe, May, Gatens, etc. Since we've dodged the bullet of a blueblood or even someone like Baylor nabbing him and it's just down to staying in state, I think Iowa's where most kids end up. I looked at Iowa State's rosters for the last 5 years and Michael Jacobsen's the ONLY kid from Iowa that anyone's ever heard of (there are about 3 or 4 ohers, but I guarantee you've probably never heard of them - even in high school). I hope I'm right, but Iowa kids go to Iowa, not Iowa State. And Xavier's your typical small town Iowa kid.

Not to spoil the big party, he can announce IOWA, but until his signature goes on the official paperwork.............
 
Fran signing Foster would be a big coup. I am not holding my breath.

Um, no. But it would be great if he did sign Foster!

Like many others, I am not holding my breath or getting too excited on this. Hate getting my hopes up for these types of things. But I'll be jumping all around if he does sign!
