So, what type of player was he in HS? I assumed with his size, he had a bit of the Delray Brooks syndrome (who also became a 3 pt threat by his senior year; just at Providence!) in that he had the size to score over people and by posting up and wasn't the shooter you'd expect for a wing player. With his mechanics, it's hard for me to imagine he was a deadeye from 3, even in HS.
This Team Isn't Very Gifted

Archie’s never had a great shooting team since he’s been coaching we are actually witnessing normal for him, his defense just overpowered weaker opponents in pathetic Atlantic 10
But fife was a far better player at this stage and offered alot more on the court like great defense.
I know he shot 40% from beyond the arc his senior year. I only saw him a couple times but with that no elevation, hideous looking jumper, he was burning it up at SBR.
3 point marksmen lol. They left him open for a reason. We are easy to scout
I saw enough of his tape to know he infrequently posted up. His game was to stand outside and bomb 3 pointers And he was pretty good at handling and finishing on the fast break. He didn't drive to the basket and he very little stop & pop game.
I must have caught Leal on a bad night. I didn't see him as a dominate player in the game I watched. He obviously has been given the green light to shoot or create his shot whenever he wants, but he isn't unstoppable on drives or a deadly shooter. I see him as Pat Graham without the shooting ability. He seems smart so maybe the other things will follow.
He definitely can't shoot like Pat Graham could, but very few can, right? He's a much better athlete though. I think he and Galloway will be starters by their JR year.
Their junior year so your saying Archie year 7?? OMG. So who are the starting guards for next year if Leal and Galloway don't start, you telling me they can't beat out Durham or Franklin that's really sad if true
Rob and Al will start next year obviously. Plus neither are PG's, so neither will be taking Rob's spot. Leal and Galloway will be 2/3's. How can someone that posts as much as you do on an IU message board not know that already?
This is all just speculation. As far as we know, he gets to IU and looks like deer-in-the-headlights Hunter or Race Thompson. Will believe it when I see it in big time basketball.
so you’re saying your just going to type this same dumb shit again and again. Yes, I guess you could say help is on the way for projected 8-seed IU. Lololol
did your trousers wiggle a little bit when you typed “big time basketball”? Bet that felt real goooooood. Lol
Most likely yes; speculation if Iu had yogi coming in next year how much of a difference would that make to Archie’s pathetic half court offense
You realize Galloway is playing with a broken wrist. That may have something to so with his shooting numbers, no?
It’s amazing what happens when a few 3s go down. It’s also nice to see the bigs face up and knock down a shot or two. It’s been there all along but we just played one dimensional by trying to force feed it on the block.
This is the change of pace that I was looking for from Archie

What did you think about those two Brunk floaters around the ft line? I don't remember him taking those shots before.
Stating the obvious , but we need 1 reliable assassin. This team should run it through Davis or Brunk every possession, and if nothing is there kick it out. Why get in shooting contest with other teams blows my mind. When Hoosiers feed it inside , good things happen. When Bad Green shows up, the train starts a rocking.
