Iowa Basketball Recruits

Yes absolutely. Foster is most definitely "phenom potential". Not phenom yet, but Iowa doesn't care. We never get phenom's anyways. We will take Foster even if he is only a top 100 recruit. There is still a very real chance that he ends up a Top 10 recruit.

If he commits to Iowa he won't be a top 10 recruit even if he actually is one.
 
If he commits to Iowa he won't be a top 10 recruit even if he actually is one.

My opinion on that is it depends on when you commit. Commit beginning of JR year then no. Wait till Senior year and get the Duke and Kansas offers then yes.

Harrison Barnes could have chosen ISU or Iowa over UNC and he still would have held the #2 ranking.

I am very interested to see how Patrick does against Cretin Durham Hall. That is a power house school in football and basketball full of athletic inner city kids.

Foster shooting 35% from 3 is pretty impressive for a freshman big man. Patrick shooting 27% from 3 is no bueno but maybe thats not part of his game? Fredricks shooting stats are nuts. Whats up with Cartons 1:1 assist:turnover ratio?

Foster is a sophomore.

can jw play defense

Can he, or does he? I have seen him a few times in person. I would say he is an average high school defender. How that will translate to a team that plays terrible defense? I wouldn't expect him to revolutionize or re-energize our defense.

thank you adam I ways afraid of that

Nothing to be afraid of. Fran places a clear priority on offensive skill set and maybe zero on defensive. Luckily JW is the kid of gun slinger that if he hits a groove and gels with the team can help us outscore opponents. For that to happen though Joe would need for the college game to be as easy for him as the high school game is. I think he has a real shot to reach his potential in Sophomore year. We could have 3 Jok like years out of him. Of course all of this depends on so many factors.

That said though JW is one of if not the most dangerous offensive scorers that Fran has ever landed.
