Jimmy Foster: A AP Wire For the past two years. South Carolina basketball nlnvpr K ^ Jimmy Foster's life was in neutral, a life of "mostly goofing off," as he puts it. But you wouldn't believe it now. In 20 games this season, the aggressive 6-foot-7 center from Greenville has averaged 13.6 points, 10.6 rebounds a game, making him the highest rebounder on the Gamecock squad. "It's been a pleasant surprise to me, both the team and myself," Foster said. "The coaches have helped me a lot getting ready to play maior college ball after a twn-vpar layoff. "I've learned to mature and adjust? to life, not just to basketball. It was a long road back," he said. FOSTER WAS a terror on the basketball court at Greenville's Wade Hampton High School. He averaged 28 points and 19 rebounds in his junior year, and was a preseason prep All-American. Big and strong at 200 pounds, he was a hot prospect for college ball. But, suddenly, Foster vanished from the basketball scene.
