Apparently, Archie is using his skill in player development as a major recruiting tool. He is finding players who feel like they need top notch player development to get to the next level.
Look at the progress of recent recruits.
- Charles Cooke. Wanted to improve his game. Need to improve his shot and...
- Big Steve. Needed help with academics, but weight and post skill as well
- Kostas. Has incredible athletic genes in his family, but needs weight and skill development
- Jordan Pierce. Archie said last night needs to develop more of a college body, which means turn more of his weight into muscle
- Carter is only 16 years old. He will need some development
You can say all players need development, some are more ready for college and beyond than others. Archie's sweet spot seems to be the players overlooked by some majors because they lack some of those skills. The majors don't want to take time to develop them. Archie is willing to do so.
It also appears that Archie does want to have height in his line up. Next year's team will be taller than this year's team.
