When he arrived on Creighton's campus, his body fat had ballooned to 16 percent. Foster had quite literally become fat and happy with his success.

Now it's down to 8 percent.


oscar did really save the poor kid.  Would have probably developed diabetes and hypertension if he hadn't been kicked off the team.

I'm generally keen on collecting information that helps me in my anti-oscar rampage, but after I read this piece, I was left thinking the story of Marcus letting success go to his head really made this happen. You could always reply that it is oscar's job to make this work regardless, but we kinda lucked into Marcus then the fact that he was clearly under recruited helped his exit strategy happen that much more quickly.

You could tell Marcus gave no fucks in year two FWIW. There's only so much fondling of the balls that a coach can do, before you lose all control of the monster you've created. Happy to see he lost the weight. He's still adoerable AF and a great player.
