No charges being filed does not mean “no baggage”.

So what's the "official" (ie; your) definition of "baggage" here ZMagic30??

Mid february article irt Foster. No evidence to support any charges.

what i've read about Foster isn't encouraging. I looked at the iowa state board when all that stuff went down. numerous comments about his work ethic and drive for the game. Obviously the coaches are paid to vet that stuff, but I would hope we can land someone more proven than Foster.

More proven? I mean you can find a more proven, experienced option on the transfer market but that doesn't mean said player would be better than Foster. In fact, good chance that that player would be objectively worse than Foster if that player is transferring up from a low major. If you're hoping to get an Oscar Tshiebwe-type player, well, that's probably unrealistic period.
Foster has the tools to be a very good player... the question is can he keep his head about him. I wouldn't personally appreciate having a potential sex offender on campus, but it's up to the coaches to properly vet him in that regard (and I think they've earned our trust). At any rate, I'd be surprised if he comes here so I think the discussion is moot.

He could become a very good player for the Jays. But, I agree with Reality...
I'd be surprised if he comes to the Hilltop.

Not a fan of Foster, regardless of whatever the truth is with that situation. I've actually seen him play in person. The laziness was pretty clear even then, and I'm not sure he's actually that good anyway. Certainly looks that part though. I think they can find a better fit.

Yeah, I'll trust Jacob.

I wouldn’t expect anyone who was a problem at Iowa State to end up at Creighton. Mac and TJ are very close, giving Mac a little access to the inside scoop.

No charges were filed against Deshaun Watson. He is heading to the Cleveland Browns with an entire airplane's overhead storage compartment worth of baggage.

I'm not comparing anyone to anyone here. Just pointing out that charges being filed isn't where "baggage" begins.

You certainly did make a comparison. Who's Deshaun Watson??
Anyways...what is Foster's 'baggage'...other than assault allegations which were dropped? Is he lazy, stupid, lame, lack of hustle, lack of coachability, etc.?
We're quick to label a kid with negatives...and once so labelled, it is nearly impossible to recover from them.

Baggage or no...don't really care. My thoughts can be summed up succinctly below. Mac and staff should have earned our trust by now, they also have connections that should provide a full picture. If they want and take him, I'm good. If they pass for whatever reason, I'm also good.

Obviously the staff knows best but all I remember from his Wichita days was that he was not necessarily a team player and had a helicopter dad. I would assume he's more.mature now. He can shoot FTs though.
