Every bit of 6-10 and this kid is going to get stronger. Held an offer from Toledo. Looks like a terrific get this late in the game. Let’s get a big grad transfer for the next schollie. My guess is that if Norris doesn’t come here that Boals saves the last scholarship for next year.

I hope this one pans out, I don’t see any difference between he and Wight, heck Wight looks a little better. Foster is taller. He is a project, can’t just take projects at this point, springs is already a project. We need grad transfers if the talent pool is low. Abba Lawal moves better and jumps higher. Still with Boals and the bobcat’s. Go Cats

It’s hard to tell why this guy is a project with the ratings above by the states dominant newspaper. He has offers from James Madison, Toledo and Central Michigan besides Ohio. Not seeing the same things other all knowing folks are seeing.

I agree colobobccat66. Do we expect a true freshman big to come in next year and play 15-20 minutes per game....no. Again, we are all expecting Boals to bring in a grad transfer big that is most likely going to be the minutes guy in the post next year.

He is basing it on the fact that he is Jason Arkleys alias. Arkley found a way to compare Foster to Nate Springs even though Springs did not play. Arkley is just ignorant.

Jason sees Springs in practice. Nate doesn't have to play in games for the main beat reporter to assess his skill set

The recruiting guru has spoken. At times I am amazed that this poster was not caught up in the Adidas scandal, with his knowledge and connections, I’ve been worried about the Feds knocking on his door.

His excellent Google Skills, of course after the Zaire deal making, he’s been able to devote lots of time and energy to the basketball Bobcats, living off his consulting fees.

Allen I’m sure Boals is so relieved you are “still” with him. Man the pressure on that guy. He is basically trying to rebuild this thing long after most prime apples have been picked from the tree and you put the added pressure of possibly jumping ship less than a month in.

Neither can Nikola Jokic, but would you deny that he's a good basketball player?

Would love to see senior season stats for Mr. Foster if anyone knows where to get them.

I hope I am wrong, I see no rim protection or inside scoring, I see a body. Jokic can pass, shoot and rebound and he weighs about 60 more pounds and can dunk

I’m as optimistic about this program’s potential as anyone but yes, we need to take a project here and there. 6-10 kids at the age of 18 are almost 100% projects... The coordination just isn’t there. I hope he develops, worth the gamble.

Welcome MI....thanks for the info.

Like any forum you’ll find this one to be full of koolaid drinkers....darksiders....and people in between.

The current regime has most of us extremely optimistic.

I'm one of the more optimistic around here but I'm not really buying the accuracy of the info at that link. There's a zero percent chance he's the #20 recruit in the country. The description of him reads like a sales piece. I admittedly am not familiar with this website but I'm thinking it's meant to trump up abilities to draw interest rather than provide an honest evaluation.

For example read another prospect's "final evaluation" and they read almost the same word for word.
