Valor High School Junior and future Business Major, Chase Foster is the President of his school's Investment Club. Foster reports the returns on the investments being made in the club are nothing but positive.
College basketball coaches recruiting the Highlands Ranch (Colo.) native are hoping for many happy returns from their investment of a four-year scholarship in the 6-foot-5 swingman. Before his high school season ended, Foster held three scholarship offers - Wyoming, Colorado and San Francisco. This week Montana State offered Foster a scholarship as well.
"It is a great school," Foster said. "I don't know a lot about it. What the coaches told me about the school makes it sound like a fantastic place. I will need to research it more to get a better feel for it."
As of mid-January, Foster led Valor Christian with season averages of roughly 24 points, eight rebounds and three steals per game. Foster said he is still hearing from local schools Denver area - Northern Colorado and Denver University, as well as the the Colorado Buffaloes. He said he and his family will be meeting with the Wyoming coaches in the coming weeks.
"They are actually coming out in a couple weeks to my school and that (scholarship) offer still stands," Foster said. "They are going to want to sit down with me and my family and have a conversation about what they want out of me and what I want out of the school. I am looking forward to it."
San Francisco continues their recruitment of Foster and he said he may take an unofficial visit to see the USF campus this summer.
"They are going to watch some games over the summer," Foster said of USF. "We are just getting to know each other better."
"I have been talking to Stanford quite a bit too. They said they are going to come out and see me. Stanford told me that they don't offer for basketball until the end of your Junior year and generally late in the summer, because you have to get accepted before they offer for basketball.
"They want me to take a second ACT. They will be in LA next weekend to watch me play and in Colorado the weekend after to see me play again."
While the recruiting has heated up, Foster said he is in no hurry to make a commitment to any college.
"I am not really narrowing anything down yet," Foster said. "Hopefully, sometime my senior year I will be committing somewhere. Right now every door is open. Nothing is finished until the last day."
Foster said his AAU season got underway with a local tournament last weekend and he is now participating in a high school training program four days-a-week concentrating on his agility and conditioning.
"The high school season is over, but basketball never really stopped."
This summer will be Foster's first playing for Chauncey Billups Elite, which doesn't necessarily mean new faces.
"There are kids on that team I have been playing against since second grade," Foster said. "There is a lot of talent here and we just have to work on meshing as a team and getting to know each other better and working in with the program."
