Is Foster able to practice? If so what's the assesment of him so far?

Yes, he has practiced with the team all year, except for a couple weeks when he had a wrist injury. Dave Reynolds had an article about him a few days ago

Some of that report might be hyperbole, but from those who have seen him, I have heard he will help a little with interior defense, but probably not as much on offense.
 
I have two friends that are in the Villages, that went to Tampa Tue. night to see Bar and the PG who has committed to us. It seems the offense doesn't run thru either. I think they both had 2 pts. and were not much of a factor. Both seemed to show potential but not sure if they help much their first year. Hope the Memphis kid or the Metamora kid can provide help right away.

Missouri State fan here, so take it for what is worth, but I saw Bar play in FLA this season and thought him to be a pretty large project. It can be amazing tho what many D1 coaches can do with bigs.

As I've said here before, I agree that the offensive part of his game is very raw and needs time to develop. Hopefully, we have the right coaches here to actually see him improve over time.
But defensively, I believe he can contribute right away with his rebounding and shot-blocking ability. Bradley gave up way too many easy layups this season.

The two Mooseheart players who were considered the most likely D1 prospects both ended up at Vincennes junior college this past year, as they were not able to qualify for D1 because much of their education was in Africa.
Mangisto Deng, considered by most to be the best of the 3 Sudanese players at Mooseheat, played very little as a freshman at Vincennes. He appeared in only 12 of 35 games for Vincennes, and averaged 0.7 ppg and 0.7 rpg....

a lot of people thought the Mooseheart kids had certified DI talent..but turns out they all kinda flopped...

Mangisto Deng bounced around to a couple jucos, and a DII (averaged 1 ppg while struggling with eligibility & injury) ..
now he is quitting the team but will stay apparently at New Mexico Highlands to get his degree.
