Hasn't his dad been tweeting negative things for the past few months? 

The dad was Justin Smith, don't know about the Forrester family

I did not know that.

These are just the most recent ones.. So not terribly surprising.

I was under the impression Forrester’s dad was actually calling out Justin’s dad. Could’ve missed something though.

Forrester's dad actually called out Justin -- and Evan. ... Jake's dad has been a pretty vocal (via Twitter) critic of Archie, etc.

I don't get it. I think we all kind of knew he wasn't going to play much his freshman or sophomore year. Wish the kid luck in the future.

I think I saw that back in February. This program doesn't need that negativity.

Dude wasn’t wrong... Archie made a bad decision.

I am really sorry to hear this one. Was probably his biggest fan on this board. I think that kid had a chance to be a really useful player eventually. Sitting a year and developing physically will do him good. Best of luck.

Forrester has some connections with Temple. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up there.

It's weird to me too if he's transferring because of a lack of playing time. I like his potential and think he will become a contributing player when he's an upperclassman, but he wouldn't have played much this year anywhere that he went. Not sure what he was expecting..

I see him as a good rotational big as a junior or senior.

I'd like to see him Redshirt at IU this coming year. Then Davis will be gone and he'll have a year of development.....oh well. 

[Brass Cannon 24,611]

That’s a shame but makes sense if we get Brunk Jake likely wouldn’t have a chance to start till his senior year

[Brass Cannon 24,611]

So of the 6 players Archie has brought in only 1 will return next year with anything resembling playing time

Man, I liked Jake. He might foul out in ten minutes, but he worked. So, Archie not seeing playing time for him or what?

I was thinking he would play more minutes next year, but wasn’t ready to contribute much this season. I do think he should have played a little bit more, but he was similar to Moore in terms of could do some okay things on the court, but was way behind on a lot of things. Really liked both, and hate to see them transferring, but I’m not surprised. With Smith (if he stays), Davis, TDJ, Thompson, and possibly Brunk, I can’t blame him.

I’m sure the animosity him and his dad probably had towards Smith’s playing time made this a lingering issue that really played a big factor. I doubt Forrester expected to play a ton, but seeing a guy play so many minutes that didn’t show up all the time had to be very frustrating.
