Daily Herald: Carmel Catholic's Foster finds a fit in Minnesota
"When we were doing the campus tour," Foster said, "we got to see things that not every athlete gets to see on their recruiting trip before they commit."
Foster says he and his family received plenty of academic information to mull over. He met with a college professor, head football coach Jerry Kill and assistant head coach/offensive line coach Matt Limegrover. Foster even got to check out the bowling alley inside the student bookstore.
By day's end, he was bowled over, so to speak. Minnesota had rolled a strike.
Foster gave a verbal commitment to Kill, whose Golden Gophers have won eight games in each of the last two seasons. Last season culminated with a berth in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1. Kill was voted the Big Ten's Hayes-Schembechler coach of the year by the conference's coaches. The Big Ten media also selected the former Northern Illinois coach as its coach of the year.
Minny, welcome Sean Foster, who's hardly mini.
"When I went up there, I really liked it," Foster said. "It was the perfect fir for me and my family. We couldn't stop talking about it. Right then and there, we were like, ‘This would be a great fit for me.' "
