Interesting. Sounds like he’s weighing 2 years of college vs 1 year of HS then G League. Would be phenomenal if he reclassed, and joined Illini, and that’s an understatement.Class of 2021 forward Mike Foster weighing reclass to 2020
Mike Foster, the 6-foot-10 Class of 2021 power forward from Hillcrest Prep (AZ) who models his game after Kevin Durant, has been conducting Zoom calls with a number of high-major schools during the pandemic and is weighing a reclass to 2020.
Foster, who averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks a game last season, has had Zoom calls with Baylor and Georgia and expects to have them soon with Kansas and Illinois, according to his mentor, Chianti Clay, the coach of the Hillcrest Prep National team. Florida State and Michigan have also been in touch several times recently.

Yeah, a Kevin Durant clone would fit nicely into the starting 5 next to Kofi, Ayo, Adam Miller and Curbelo. National title contender for sure!Class of 2021 forward Mike Foster weighing reclass to 2020

Let's see...(1) Kofi's likelihood of returning is low (2) the likelihood of Ayo returning is low (3) the likelihood of both returning is extremely low (4) Trent Frazier will be starting if there is a season no matter who is on the team. Other than that......Yeah, a Kevin Durant clone would fit nicely into the starting 5 next to Kofi, Ayo, Adam Miller and Curbelo. National title contender for sure!

Well at least you got #4 right!Let's see...(1) Kofi's likelihood of returning is low (2) the likelihood of Ayo returning is low (3) the likelihood of both returning is extremely low (4) Trent Frazier will be starting if there is a season no matter who is on the team. Other than that......
What are the odds of landing this guy? Could be a real game changerClass of 2021 forward Mike Foster weighing reclass to 2020

He’s not a Kevin Durant clone. He’s much more physical than Durant is right now. He is more of a Chris Webber type but not quite the manchild Webber was coming out of HSA Kevin Durant clone would fit nicely next to literally anyone, including Kevin Durant.
Wow!Did Foster ever make this visit?

Wow is right! I thought you all were goofing around with the comparisons until I saw that video. Just imagining him and Kofi on the floor at the same time is scary.Did Foster ever make this visit?

Do we think Kofi will get drafted in 2021? If he comes back this year, and still doesn't have an outside shot and/or quicker feet by the end of next year, I doubt he would be drafted in 2021 too.Feel like we are going to be banking heavy on a Kofi-like impact freshman in 2021 down low. Unless we think a senior Giorgi is going to start there--not opposed.
Also still feel like we really need someone at the 4. Maybe that's BBV or a bigger wing not sure, just not liking our front court in 2021. Looooong way to go.
Ummm. Yes, please!!Did Foster ever make this visit?

Played with Adam Miller on the MIF AAU team.:thumb:

His plan sounds very similar to Ayo's, maybe even more aggressive. Stay 2 and leave. Much greater chance he leaves this year compared to Ayo last year. Barring a down season, I think he's gone, regardless of if he gets drafted. Just my general feel.Do we think Kofi will get drafted in 2021? If he comes back this year, and still doesn't have an outside shot and/or quicker feet by the end of next year, I doubt he would be drafted in 2021 too.
Edit: apologies if you meant at the 4 the whole time and I'm being dumb.
