Michael Foster – Milwaukee, WI

PF | 6-foot-9 | 220 lbs | No. 4 overall

Michael Foster exhibits an elite motor as one of the top players in the class. He consistently works hard on both ends of the floor and has the ability to impact each game in a variety of ways by simply always finding a way to be near the ball. This can come by commanding the ball offensively, vacuuming in rebounds, or rotating defensively for steals or blocks. He is also developing as a 3-point threat, which gives him the versatility to function in more roles offensively.

While leading Mac Irvin Fire (17U) to an early 7-1 record on the EYBL circuit, Foster has made his mark as a scorer and rebounder. He has scored in double-figures in every single contest en route to averages of 15.9 points (.455/.278/.537) and 8.9 rebounds per game. He has showcased his wide array of moves to put up these numbers although his shooting woes have been evident as well.

Foster projects as an elite-level power forward at the college level and he has, predictably, received attention from some of the top programs in the nation. He already holds offers from programs such as Kansas, LSU, and Marquette, among others.
