The Tale
Even before the unexpected departure of Graham Woodward last week, Penn State was in need of depth in the backcourt. Specifically, someone who could act as a primary ballhandler and possibly knock down a few outside shots. Pat Chambers and staff appear to have accomplished that with the addition of Foster, who had a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio and shot 40% from behind the arc while primarily playing point guard at Vincennes, where he was named a two-time JuCo All-American. The left-handed Foster could slot right into a rotation without a true lead guard, though D.J. Newbill and incoming freshman Shep Garner will have their chance to earn the lion's share of minutes at the one.
Foster's commitment leaves Chambers with one scholarship to fill entering next season, and they're in the running to land another JuCo guard - Eric Weary Jr recently named Penn State as one of his five finalists. It's unclear whether Foster's commitment will change things with Weary, but either way the staff aren't resting on their laurels this offseason.
Foster committed while on a visit to Happy Valley this weekend.
