Actually it was a stripper named "Cookie" who was providing milk directly from the tap.

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

I think he can be a program changer in a sense. He won't start his freshman, and neither did Conditt, but rim-running rim protectors who can also space the floor don't grow on trees. The type of big man who can do what our up-tempo offense asks of them and still protect the basket has been largely missing since the beginning of Hoiball, and players like Conditt and Foster can appreciably increase our ceiling. Jameel McKay is as close as we've been to our ideal center, but he wasn't a threat from outside 10 feet.

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

I wouldn't completely shut the door on him starting next year. You never know how good the kid will develop. I think he'll definitely have a shot to start next year if he works his butt off and puts in the time. I also don't think Solo would have a problem with being the first big man off the bench.

Solo is a team-first guy who I would imagine would accept that graciously.

Then again, he is a big body, will have the most experience of anybody on the team, and Prohm loves his seniors. Having his quiet toughness out there at the end of his development arc is going to be quite the asset next year.

Foster projects well as a 4 against Solo as a 5, though.

They’re not finished products like McKay, but adding a Conditt or a Foster to the 2012-13 or 2013-14 teams most definitely would have made a big difference in the ability to make a Final Four. The margin for error is so much higher having those guys.

If Haliburton comes back, Foster could be a difference maker. That’s a roster that can compete with anyone. It’s good even without TH. We’re past the point of the program being solely sustained by one guy imo

247 is fairly quiet. I think most of them realize what they have in Fran.
It wouldn't surprise me to see the 247 guys change their CBs today. They've beat the 50/50 horse as long as they can.

Someone will need to do a welfare check on CP84. That dude might seriously lose his mind.

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.

Somebody's claiming that he's buds with the twins, so he's gonna choose TOE.
Well there's no doubt he's probably friends with them lol. He's most likely friends with the entire team considering almost all of them played for the same AAU team at some point in their lives.
