Since we have something negative to say about his bad games, why don’t y’all say something positive!

Love the effort on the defensive end with 6 blocks. I wouldn't mind seeing him play the garbage man in his first few years; protect the rim, rebounds, putbacks, and drop offs for easy buckets.

He reminds me a lot of Marcus Lee but with a better shot.

Totally.  That's where Juwan is finding his bread and butter this year, and it obviously helps tremendously.  From every interview with Jake, it seems like he's more than happy to play that role.  The guy is plugged in, too, and may help us get a few more top recruits.

If you have seen some of his dunks during game highlights he likes to stare down the defender after. He needs to watch that next year. Could get a t for that.

@chickg3: Final Westtown over Sidwell Friends behind 6'8" Sr. Cam Reddish (Duke) w/32pts 5asts 5 treys4stls, 6'9" Sr. Jake Forrester (Indiana) w/19pts 7reb 2blks & 6'3" Jr. Jalen Gaffney had 11pts 5asts in the win

Dude isn't a superstar for sure, but you can't recruit kids who are superstars.  You need guys who just play defense and get rebounds think Ben Wallace.  Haven't got to see him play thats why I am curious about Jakes defense.  His rebounding seems to be there

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Plays tough going through contact and has good athleticism. I can see why Archie likes him.

This kid is everything DeRon Davis isn't.Defensive minded,bouncy and athletic.As much as I had hoped Davis would be a force he hasn't shown it.

Don't know if Forrester is the answer but we have to have one to be competitive down low.If not TJD becomes even more important.

Pretty underwhelming so far.

We change coaching staffs but the players don’t get better.

That was my thing with Crean. He could win with the right amount of talent even with his wacky substitutions and lack of regard for Defense. I knew Crean needed uber talents to succeed.

It's yet to be seen if Archie needs uber talents or just his guys but clearly he can't work magic with this group. I was hoping he could have been a wonderboy with this roster. In general I like his coaching mannerisms and principles, but as with any coach, talent is hard to beat or lose with. Recruiting is way more than half the battle.

Here's to hoping the guys we have coming in are good enough, soon enough.

There should've never been talk to begin with.

Davis seems to have just stopped getting better in the 8th grade almost.

I just think he was overly reliant on his size and strength and that advantage diminished as his competition got older and better.

His first class isn’t even close to on campus so what are you talking about? Were you expecting 2 titles or 3 before his first year was up?
