Archie’s first class was Romeo, Rob, Anderson, Forrester and Thompson. Romeo is leaving. Forrester is now leaving. Anderson on the fence and didn’t play much. Thompson didn’t play much. So far, this class isn’t giving us much. The Movement 2.0.

Big melodrama guy?

They're freshman. This unrealistic trash is why these artificial and unreasonable hot seats are created. GTFOH.

Yea.  A class that gives you two starters (potentially could have been three), with one being your leading scorer, isn't a bust.

Okay but your original post was about Archie's first class, which includes Hunter whether he never plays a game or plays in them all over the next four years. 

He may have been apart of the class, but if he never plays, it wont be counted against Archie like an Anderson would be. As of now Jerome is just there waiting. Would player-coach be better than manager? Realistically, he is not part of future plans until it is said he's healthy enough to play. So no reason to include him. When he plays, he will be judged with that class.

Valuable, not-at-all absurd input as always, Joe.

And? Doesn't mean you shouldn't see a glimpse of a good player. Romeo was good but a one year rent. Rob looks to be a poor mans Yogi and we can use that, he'll end up giving the absolute most from the class. Hard to say on Thompson but he showed effort and hustle. Looked better than Jake. Should end up a good rotation guy. Kenny Goins type? Anderson showed he doesn't belong in the Big Ten. And again, I won't include Hunter until it is said he will play.

He looked good during the scrimmage. Aggressive offensive player.

At this point he’s just a manager.

You're a very sad individual

[Crimson and Cream 5,782]

Disappointing to hear about Jake, but man I can't blame him. There's no reason he should have been sitting behind Fitzner all season. He came in and gave effort and was active.

He committed 10.7 fouls per 40 minutes.  That's not much less than twice the rate of the next most foul-prone player on the roster.  Seems like a reason to me.

And the class is not the movement. Get your head straight.

Oh, so you're also entering the transfer portal? 

 

Back to Jake.  Wonder if part of the year end discussion could have been a suggestion to take a redshirt year and Jake not interested although he's going to have to sit out a year regardless.  No inside info whatsover just aimless speculation.

[VO5 8,272]

Sad that Jake is deciding to transfer. I thought he had really good potential his junior and senior years 

[Feathery 4,005]

Good luck to Jake. He would be sitting 4th string here next year, maybe 5th, assuming Brunk comes. 

Brunk, Davis, TJD, and Race are all ahead of him on the depth chart.

Or maybe fitzner was simply better.

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 certainly didn’t know that. I don’t think there is anything to support this, especially given how our returning center in Davis was coming off an Achilles tear and hobbling all season. There is no obvious reason why he wasn’t in there more and after bigten play started, getting all of fitzners minutes

That was a huge wtf and slap in his face

To not play Jake?  Think that was correct.  He was abused on defense.

Nobody got abused more on defense than fitzner

Does not ever making a reasonable post make some a message board manager?
