Xavier Foster
- Thread starter Jizzer
- Start date
Watched him in state title game. He likes to play outside. Or the coach is dumb.
We'll know when we know. I know everyone wants inside information, but I can go just on what is factually true:
Iowa was the first to offer him and has been active with him the entire time. If Iowa doesn't get him, it won't be because Fran and staff haven't put in the time.
He's been to ISU a lot too. Don't know what that means or why that is.
He can go to most any school that he wants. Not Zion Williamson good, but he has a huge upside with his skill set, size and athleticism.
He will be criticized for not being that good by posters on this board based on high school results. As if stats in Iowa high school basketball are any indicator of how good a guy will be in college.
Foster would fit right in to the stretch 4 mold that Fran has liked to recruit. His skill set resembles a more physical Uthoff. That would seem to make it easier for a recruit to envision himself with the team. Uthoff has proven to be a fringe NBA player and Foster is more talented, so that could be a selling point too.
Just send Foster YouTube links of Fran going nuts. Ask him how he would like some if that and no NCAA tournament.
Next.
Next.
There's a true Hawk fan for you. Great to have you on board.
He does play outside more than one would think. However, how does him game look at the AAU level?
Or they had 2 other post players 6'5" and 6'9" and used Foster as a SF to get him on the court?

He is a clown troll.
Anyway, my sources* which are outstanding btw, is that he is a heavy clown lean.
*My sources are the clown dousches on this board.
Seems like Foster likes the Iowa coaches and players ... We miss the tourney again this year I think our chances of landing him reach about 5% ... Watched him in the state tourney ... You can't teach the length and athleticism ... You can see the potential with the right coaching ...
I also think he has the opportunity to step in and make an impact right away (especially defensively) from day 1.
This could be our starting 5 and reserves
SF-Patrick McCaffrey 6'9" So
PF-Xavier Foster 7'0" Fr / Cordell Pemsl 6'8" Sr
C-Luka Garza 6'11" Sr / Jack Nunge 7'0" Jr
OG-Joe Wieskamp 6'6" Jr / CJ Fredrick 6'4" So
PG-Joe Toussaint 6'0" So / Connor McCaffrey 6'5" Jr
I was going to say he has to be a Cyclown troll. Obviously missed Prohm's bizarro performance in Iowa City last month...
Yes. And it was poor.
If it doesn’t help it hurts. Plenty more Fran craziness out there to watch than Prohm.
Of course all is ignored if you have Final Fours in your pocket like Izzo and Coach K.
The idea that you think Fran is out of control proves that you don’t actually watch any iowa basketball.
How so? If he comes to Iowa right now, he competes as a Freshman with Nunge and/or Pemsl. If he goes to ISU, he competes with Lard, Griffin, Conditt, Anderson, and Leech. Seems like the easier path to playing time is at Iowa his freshman year and forward. All depend on how Patrick comes in though. Not sure he has the strength to be a 4 in the big ten. Seems like he'll be a 2/3 with Weiskamp a 2/3.
I always thought Fran made the promise to Woodbury that he would start him from day 1, and I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the same promise to Foster. Nothing wrong with that, you have give top talent a reason to chose Iowa.
I think pat will have to play the four because of joe. Or maybe joe slides to four and pat plays three.
Did anyone else notice that Fredrick is listed as playing at NU in one box score, on another--no. I assume he did not play, but how do those errors happen?
More like 6'10/11. He's basically the same height as Garza. A few stones lighter, though.
I don't think there's any reason to worry about Foster right now. Iowa is clearly among his top schools, and this year's team is having some good success. Next step is making the tournament, but that looks like a pretty attainable goal at this point. If we collapse down the stretch, or if bigger fish start getting heavily involved, then I'll start to worry.
FWIW. I play poker with a close family friend of the Fosters and he tells me that Foster has always wanted to be a Hawk. Save your comments about poker players lying. The guy is being honest with me.
He doesn't wrestle.
Top 50 or 100 players don't worry about who they are competing with. They want to win and get to the league, which ISU provides. BTW, ISU is a great program at utilizing the stretch 4.
Can you enlighten us with who Prohm has recruited and developed at the stretch 4? I truly don’t know.
But Xavier will never really know his position at isu because whenever a starter gets kicked off the team at another school isu will scoop them up and give them a second, third or fourth chance. Sure hope isu can invest all of their Bowl money really well that way they can build their own “Wellness Center” for athletes.
