G Marcus Foster committed to Creighton today. The former KSU player will have two years of eligibility remaining after sitting out a year.
Creighton Adds KSU Transfer
- Thread starter hallgrad80
- Start date
Foster was suspended for three games early in the season for violating team rules, and then dismissed from the program in March for "being unable to live up to the standards we set for our players," according to Kansas State coach Bruce Weber.
Seems like Greg McDermott is taking a big chance with this kid. Considering his recruiting, he probably has to as he has run out of high-scoring sons.

Former Kansas State guard transferring to Creighton

Marcus Foster, a guard whose sophomore season at Kansas State was an inconsistent one, has found a new home. Foster, who entered last season as a candidate for Big 12 Player of the Year, has decided that he'll complete his college career at Creighton.
Foster announced the decision on Twitter, and after sitting out the 2015-16 season he'll have two years to play under head coach Greg McDermott.
As a sophomore Foster averaged 12.5 points per game, shooting just under 39 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from beyond the arc. He and head coach Bruce Weber clashed on multiple occasions throughout the season, but that was the story for most of the Kansas State team as a group that reached the NCAA tournament in 2014 finished below .500. In the case of Foster a change of scenery may benefit him, and he joins a Creighton system that should serve him well once eligible.
While Foster sits out this season Creighton will look for major contributions from two other transfers in guard Maurice Watson and forward Cole Huff, both of whom sat out the 2014-15 campaign per NCAA transfer rules. Both were productive options at their previous stops, Watson at Boston University and Huff at Nevada, and that will need to be he case next season as the Bluejays lost their lone double-digit scorer in guard Austin Chatman.
Foster is the fifth newcomer who will join the Creighton program this summer with the other four being freshmen. Guards Malon Stewart and Khyri Thomas, and forwards Justin Patton and Martin Krampelj complete the class, with the 6-foot-10 Patton the most highly regarded of the freshman quartet.
