How many minutes per game would Marcus Foster play if he played Hoiball?

Can't believe how much Weber has kept him on the bench this season. Must be more to this story that isn't being told.

Weber found Foster out of nowhere, we were all mocking his recruiting, and now Foster could kind of spell his doom if he doesn't pull a rabbit out of his hat next year assuming he has a next year.

Rumor was Foster and the other kid who was suspended took the team bus for a joy ride on one of the team road trips.
If that is the case, it kind of explains the kind of guy you're dealing with. Add the pouting during games and its not really surprising that he is riding the pine so much.

Really weird situation. Dude went from getting big 12 player of the year consideration last year to riding pine this year.

I said zero. Who knows, maybe it is a coaching issue, or chemistry issue. Something is definitely wrong with KSU overall, and Foster is part of that somehow.

I agree, but if Hoiberg can handle "different" personalities like Royce or BDJ. I think he could get more out of Foster. He's just too talented. I agree KSU (and Weber) are part the problem/non-solution. I trust Hoiberg to get the best out of guys. All hypothetical but I trust our coaching staff over KSU's all day.

I wouldn't doubt that. Not only does Fred get players to understand and buy into their role, I think he is a master at finding ways to use them that helps them excel.

Fred's gotten a lot out of players who some coaches would have gotten nothing out of. Honestly hard to tell, if he would be capable of having any good night's and didn't do something to get kicked off the team we'd probably see him play anywhere from 10-30 minutes a night depending on who has the "hot hand."

I will be shocked if Foster plays for KState next year.

Be sure you're not standing in water, or it could be fatal.

This K-State team was immature, oft injured, lacked guards necessary to compete in the league night in and out, and suffered a huge lose with D.J. Johnson's season-ending foot injury. Hopefully for us, this changes next year with an influx of new talent and returners like Marcus being a year older.

Right now the fan base, particularly the youngsters, are not at all happy with Weber. But many, like myself and perhaps most purps, are a bit more circumspect about judging him on this year's performance alone. It will be interesting to see how this reflects on season ticket sales.

Go Clones.
