There really is no logic. Archie is not a game changer. Having him for two more years is going to be useless. Unless Coach T plans on losing Brommer or Cougill to transfer and he needs another big guy next year??
With Tucker leaving I think we have 2 schollarships left for 2011-12. If you would have played Archie this year you would have 3, which would allow you to bring in another decent class to go along with the 2010-11 recruits.
But this may not matter in the long run if anyone else transfers out or Coach T is let go after next year.

Not to mention he was hurt at the start of the year and would have missed a lot of games either due to the fact he wouldn't have had time to learn the system or he wouldn't have been in basketball shape.
If your going to rip on the coaching staff at least you should have your facts straight it's not like the info on him being hurt isn't easy to find.

I have watched Archie play in practice. I tend to think he will be able to help us out. Sort of like Looby did. Not a big scorer, but may be able to be a presence on defense and get some garbage buckets.
Why all of a sudden do we not want someone who isn't a "game changer"? It's not like our roster is full of these kids anyway.

Explain the logic of complaining about a kid we've never seen play. Now explain the logic of having a discussion with those people that complain about such kid. The OP is a know nothing dumb *** that we're placating by allowing this discussion ton continue.

Didn't we already discuss this about a month ago?
I just wish we could get 4 year contributors to redshirt like Brian Butch (McDonalds AA) did at Wisconsin...instead our recent redshirts are Archie(two year guy)Lil Lick(walk-on) and Angle(non-player)....as long as we are giving an extra year of education to a guy,lets try to get 3-4 years of playing out of him...Brommer and cougill should have redshirted...and next year Marble and McCabe.

If I remember correctly Erik Hansen didn't start at Kirkwood. JUCO basketball is not simply a proving ground for D1 teams...it's competitive and teams are out there to win...Archie's game might not have fit in with his team's style of play. That's pure speculation...but I wouldn't be too concerned about the simple fact that the kid didn't start at the JUCO level.

If his talent set fits what Coach is looking for and he's seen enough evidence of that...what does playing time at JUCO level matter? Again...he may not fit what they want to do very well but he might be a good piece in our offense...I don't know much about the guy but I haven't been presented with any evidence here to lead me to believe this has been a bad decision.
I could apply similar logic to yours to come to the conclusion that Archie should be a good player. You're saying that just because a JUCO coach didn't start him he's not good. Well I could say that the fact that he's been given a scholarship to a Big Ten school makes him a solid prospect. Obviously neither of those criteria are a perfect criteria for judging future performance.

He is a prospect. Just what we need,another prospect. One thing bad about a JC transfer that reshirts. He can sit out this year,transfer and start somewhere else and be elgible right away. How does that sound to you? Sounds like it could be possible? We have never had anyone transfer,have we? Oh,and I have seen him play!
Why would you assume I have not seen him play or practice.. you know what they say about *** ume..
