STAFF PICKS: Xavier Foster

[Messi]

Mine too. The crazy guy that sits courtside loves him though so he's probably safe as long as he keeps giving all his money to Barta

What blows my mind is that guys a doctor in Cedar Rapids. Feel bad for those patients. Guy isn’t exactly cool calm and collected.

Starting 5 next year (assuming TH is gone):
Bolton
Grill
Griffin
Foster
Young

Off the Bench:
Conditt
Jackson
Blackwell

I love it.

Personally I think Fran is doing a great job.

Agree. He should be given more time.

I doubt Foster starts.

Here is the grief model the 7 Stages of Recruiting Grief for EIU fans:

1. SHOCK & DENIAL
2. PAIN & GUILT
3. ANGER & BARGAINING
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS
5. THE UPWARD TURN
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE

So I think most EIU fans are at 3 on Fran's recruiting come Monday... though this particular poster is 6 maybe even 7.

you forgot to include a “rebound recruit of blood relation “

 

[Cyched]

Agree. He should be given more time.

Without Fran’s angry steady hand, they could slip back to Lickliter levels. Why risk it?

Young

Off the Bench:
Conditt
Jackson
Blackwell

I love it.

Depending on the strides Conditt makes this year, I would think he would be in line to start.

No kidding. That guy is a lunatic

I was just going to post that after cruising some Iowa sites it seems he's 100% Iowa and 247 was correct when they had it at 100% not the current 83%.

Possibly eye of the beholder but the hawkeyenation board seems to expect to see him playing for Iowa.

I pretty much stick to the pay board on HR and I’d say it’s around 50/50 on there. Pretty pessimistic to tell you the truth

 

[BryceC]

No kidding. That guy is a lunatic

That guy behaves like Leslie Neilsen in the Naked Gun at the end when calling the baseball game. It's absurd especially for a guy his age.

 

[dexterhawk]

No kidding. That guy is a lunatic

He’s got nothing on this guy

 

[VeloClone]

Prepare yourself for #fstate to be trending for most of the day.

Why? Is Florida State announcing their FB coach Monday?

 

[Bader]

OSU fired (he technically “retired”) Thad Matta basesd on a recruiting class. It’s 2 years later and they are rated and already have a resume win this season. Maybe it’s not such a bad idea. Somebody should let that guy know.

It's settled. The only acceptable replacement for Fran is whoever is currently coaching at Butler

 

[cyclone4L]

He’s got nothing on this guy

We were all this guy that night

 

[OnlyCyclones]

It would be a situational lineup, but especially against the Baylor's of the world Foster and Conditt could be in the same lineup with how Foster can stretch the floor. You could even see them as dual 4.5s if Conditt improves his outside game.

 

[Messi]

He’s got nothing on this guy

Both poor representations of fan bases.

 

[CyTwins]

I pretty much stick to the pay board on HR and I’d say it’s around 50/50 on there. Pretty pessimistic to tell you the truth

So only half of the fanbase is delusional? Not bad

 

[moores2]

Depending on the strides Conditt makes this year, I would think he would be in line to start.

I would even go out on a line and say that Jackson would start over Grill as well. Move Rasir off the point.

you forgot to include a “rebound recruit of blood relation “

Think that falls into step 6 Reconstruction and working through.
Tell tail sign is when the phrase, "prefer hard working legacies who grew up fans EIU and stay 4 years which we can be proud of., instead of players that are highly ranked and leave early", "The Right Way", "Better than Thug Transfers", etc.

Yeah, you gotta watch out for those thug transfers.
