There are reasons to believe him and HC Bruce Weber did not get along. At all. It's fine to compare the baggage of Foster and Biggs...but in reality Foster had zero problems in high school and zero problems his freshman year. It's not like we're signing Malek Harris. Last year, in terms of his disciplinary issues, was an aberration. And is it even a discussion concerning who is more talented between Biggs and Foster? Hate to bring it up but its a lot more acceptable to take a player like Marcus with some past issues if he's got a lot of talent.
Any CU fan who claims all the kids we sign are angels is full of sh**. All of these players are kids who have some growing up to do, they do stupid things on occasion. As long as CU is trying to remain relevant in the world of men's CBB, the coaches will take chances on players. Is there some risk with Marcus, sure, but I think the potential reward is unbelievably worth it. If there's one thing I know about CU basketball, its that locker room problems are the last things us fans have to worry about (last time that was an issue was with Stinnet in 2010). Even losing all those games in a streak last year, there was no talk of hostility or finger pointing. The coaches do an excellent job emphasizing the concept of the team, instilling that camaraderie early on in the players' careers at CU.
edit: You cannot blame the fanbase for our excitement surrounding Marcus. We were so close to landing him out of high school, and he is the skilled, big, athletic guard we have coveted for so long now. I think you'd have to go back into the pre-modern era of college hoops to find a player as physically talented as Marcus who played for CU
I'd say Biggs is pretty damn talented. And to say Foster is a big guard is a tad bit of a stretch. 6'2" 200 lbs is not "Big".
