STAFF PICKS: Xavier Foster

Imagine having both of them, each going hard for 20 minutes per game.

Did you steal this line from the Murray twins thread over at HN?

Bravo...the most disturbing thing I’ve seen in a few days. Shudders...

I thought that was VEEP (with Jonah's father) for a second. Then it flipped.

Seeing as every conversation about this has been had twice over, I will from now on only be posting my reactions and thoughts in gif form.

Somebody's claiming that he's buds with the twins, so he's gonna choose TOE.

This Twins is better at basketball than those twins

Has anyone been looking over on any Hawkeye message boards for reactions / freak out posts?

Eikhorst or whatever posted that he is hearing rumblings of ISU and my change his CB.

Rick Majerus once got sanctioned for providing milk and cookies at a team event at Utah. This is a true story.

And he was sanctioned by the LDS because it was chocolate milk!!!!

EDIT: Do not read this in para materia with Velo's post!!

Hopefully he credits Patrick for creating the Crystal Ball before he flips it

It's terrible. I wish we had like a prime time football game or basketball game to pass the time with.

Aren’t the guys that run the Iowa site like 20 years old or something? They probably have been coming here for their news on this.

I agree. I was simply saying it's not impossible to say that Foster could be starting next year in some capacity. It all depends on how well he transitions himself and the work he puts in. I think him having the competition of Solo/Conditt will exponentially increase his game compared to if he had an automatic starting spot given to him.

I think this is what I am most excited about. It could play out like the Monte/Kane competition that took place in 13-14. Monte was a great player when he got here, but Kane helped him get tougher and learn the speed of the game. I remember an article that talked about how Kane didn't give Monte anything. Kane came at Monte and pushed him to be the best PG he could be. I feel like Monte described it like being in a fight everyday in practice, which they weren't actually fighting but really going after one another. We saw how that played out with Monte when come March he played like he would the rest of his career at ISU.

Imagine a year of Foster competing with a bruiser like Young and having to run with Conditt. I hope that is plays out that way and those guys push XF everyday in practice. If nothing else it will help him adjust to the physicality and speed of D1 basketball. There is a lot to be said for having tough competition in practice.

Someone at Hawkeye Nation posted a tweet saying XF was visited by Fran last night and will be at Iowa’s home opener. Take that how you will.
