OFFICIAL WELCOME MARCUS FOSTER THREAD

[Underdog Wildcat]

Do you even bother to read the recruiting threads? Crapload of positive reviews on Foster posted there throughout the last several months.

12th ranked player in State of TX, best player on AAU team with 5 other high major prospects. #122 ranked player in country from NBE hoops.

Other offers from Cal, Marquette, Oklahoma, TCU, SMU, Creighton and others.

Under the radar baller, glad we got him.

I think mocat may be taking Bill seriously about his JO comment (which I assume was a joke) and not the Foster commit.

I hope that's the case.

I've met mocat, seemed like a fairly knowledgable guy.

I like mocat.  his enthusiasm for Martavious Irving is adorable.

i like how the "best player on aau team with 5 other high major prospects" is slipped in between two actual verifiable facts.

Marcus Foster ? @ WatchYaHead12
I will take my talents to Manhattan,ks to play for coach oscar Webber at Kansas st

   So much for chicken nuggets recruiting his players.

Completely uninentional, I'm really not that clever at structuring arguments.

His AAU Coach, Gerald Booker, does seem to agree with that thought though:

"Marcus Foster has the ability to score against anyone in the country. He works hard to get open and is really good at keeping the defense off balance. When the game is on the line, Marcus is our go to guy. He is very explosive and hard to guard."

yeah, i remember that quote and like you take it as a good sign. he didn't exactly say that "he's the best player on the team" though or anything. thanks a million for keeping us all updated with this stuff, i'd be clueless without.

[Underdog Wildcat]

Pro tip: "Go to guy" does not refer to who the best short order cook on the team is.

It's the player that you have confidence will get you a bucket when it counts. In my book, that's your best player.

Of course, in 2009 Alvarez also told BuffaloNews.com that Asprilla could go in the 2010 NBA draft.

“The kid is a lottery pick,” Alvarez said then. “I’ve been telling all the coaches that he can sign with you, but there’s an opportunity he could go straight to the pros from junior college. That’s how good he is.”

Canisius will be the fifth college for Asprilla and the fourth at which he has played basketball.

foster is a complete stud baller, this is a great commitment

steve dave is correct. I assumed it was a joke but then i read that bill clarahan is a racist piece of crap, which would precipitate him not recognizing JO, which led me to face palm.

I love the Foster signing, UW. 

[chum1]

I just nicknamed Marcus Foster "Hustle & Flow."

[pissclams]

espn is going to make a 30 for 30 of his first game as a ksu baller.

Art liked to talk his guys up, that's what AAU coaches do.

In the process of talking all of his guys up, 6 of whom having high major offers, Booker singled out Foster as being their go to guy.

That's a pretty solid endorsement considering the other talent featured on the Mustangs.

Thanks for clarifying mocat.

I was referring to the newbies looking so young, kinda cuddly.

That's catchy.

Sorry doodz but after the Miami non-consensual anal sexing, its hard to get excited about some dude with zero stars.  I'll check back with you guys in a few months.

Supposedly Rivals is going to be granting him his rightful 3* sometime in the near future.

[slobber]

Welcome Mr. Foster!

[doom]

I'm pretty impressed we got this guy.   

[kim carnes]

It's nice to finally have a coach who can recruit
