Dismissed from Kansas State last month, former Wildcats leading scorer Marcus Foster has decided he'll play for Creighton.
Creighton was Foster's second choice to Kansas State coming out of high school, and he will now play for the Bluejays after sitting out next season per NCAA transfer rules. He has two years left of eligibility.

“Marcus and Tre have been unable to live up to the standards that we expect of our players,” Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said in a statement at the time of the dismissal.
Foster, 20, averaged 14.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 62 games in his two-year career, including 12.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game this season.
