Probably with the browns there throwing big money at abusers.
Some place where he can hang out 25 ft from the basket and not have to hustle and play defense, probably. There is a reason Born, at 5-9, was a better player - and it wasn't talent.
I guess I have a life I don't live here 24 7.
You are wrong. No charges were dropped. Charges were never filed. Not sure why Oxenburger kicked him off the team.
It was a cumulation of things, not just the investigation.
Xavier admitted publicly recently that he was to blame. He wasn't doing the things he needed to be. Late to meetings, missing classes, etc...
Hopefully this is the moment he needs to grow up and take seriously the physical talents he has to be the best he can be?
To Be Determined...
He's lazy, same reason ISU's other transfer left the team before the season started when they realized defense was the emphasis.
Based on ISU's record this year, it would appear to be obvious that their coach made the right move to get him off the team. I don't know if he is lazy or not. I have never seen him practice. The limited game time I have seen I must say he seems pretty laid back.
Given that Foster himself said he was late meetings, class other things, could be laziness or immaturity. Either way, his DNA did not appear to be suited for ISU's style of play. You really need to be well connected with each other to play defense like they have. Lots of swithes etc.
I think it would be worth it to take a look at him. Sometimes it just clicks for aperson?
Just because charges got dropped doesn't mean he didn't do it. Just means that there's not enough evidence to prove it or prove that it was not consensual. After the whole Pierre Pierce debacle, I don't want any players in the program whose character can be called into question. I don't care how good they are or how much potential they have.
I don't think it is fair to compare his situation to Pierre Pierce. I also don't think it is fair to continue to look at him with suspicion when he was never charged with anything.
He’s supposedly headed to warmer weather. Probably a good thing for him to leave Iowa.
In general it is a good decision for anyone to get some distance under these circumstances. Significant change in location gives a better chance for a new beginning without as much old baggage dragging someone down.
Yes. There was a newspaper article somewhere where he stated something along these lines. Even if he wasn't not sure I could see Fran bringing him in.
Candy was one of the greats!
Key words - "...his dad tells me...".
Great talent if he wants to work. Not sure you could count on him when are talking about small rosters and a position of huge need already.
Arizona State is the only big name in warmer weather. Dayton and Cincinnati are a very long drive.
Me either. And they are being very aggressive now as he’s pretty much losing his whole team. Might be a good spot for both.
