Back in the day, I thought Archie would get this kid .... from same area, background. I remember thinking "uh oh, something isn't right when Archie can't get this guy." Not saying he's a get now, but I thought he was then.
Another one of the many red flags with Archie.
IU knows how to hire them. Archie ran Virginia's outdated defense and offense and stubbornly stuck with it: that aged well.
I do wonder how Archie woulda turned out had the 2020 ncaa not been canceled. The nezt seasom was a cluster for tons of schools. If he coild have gotten back into the Ncaa in 21 if he coulda gotten on track for the better.
I still have a soft spot for him. Off all of our recent failures, he was the hardest to hate. Took it like a man.
yeah he seems like a good guy and was a good teammate, going from a starting role to bench scrub. Just not a high P5 level talent. But hard to hate someone like him regardless of the jersey. hope he lands at a mid major and scores 10 ppg next year and has fun playing 25 min/game. He has earned it.
I always wondered " what if" about Armann Franklin. Turned out to be good at Virginia in their system.
He just missed the NIL era. The IU job gets even easier when you have $3-6M to spend on players, more than all but a few schools.
However, he has struggled post-IU. He wasnt a fit here really.
Archie?
He made it easy for me.
The game RMK returned he had the once in a lifetime opportunity to help his team and himself understand what IU is about.
He kept them in the locker room.
I was done with Archie at that moment.
