I don't think we have time to let Goodwin

If Arch can learn to pass the ball when driving he will score more and help UK win more games.

I don't understand it. Can you explain it to me. Of all the people to be frustrated with in this game Archie is 4th or 5th on my list behind Poy and Mays especially.

Mays was not a top 10 recruit when we got him. Playing at Wright State didn't make him a TOP 50 player nationwide so I can give him a break because he should have been a valuable 6th or 7th man on this team not a starter. Alex and Archie came with a boatload of stats and honors on being some of the best recruits in the nation. Both have made alot of high school mistakes that has frustrated many fans but its not the end of the world. Already Archie's second half shows what he can do if he plays within himself and not be out of control all of the time. Alex is going to get pre-workouts with Cal before practice, and I bet that pays BIG dividends for the future.

I feel the same way. I love Arch. He's a scorer. Early in the careers of every scorer they take bad shots and look out of control. Go back and look at Kobe and others early in their NBA careers. Its the same thing. But Archie hasn't even been that bad plus as people have pointed out the switch from 2 to point back to the 2 screwed him up a little. He's trying to find himself. He had a couple of huge takes to the basket for us. I don't know what people are thinking cause without him this team has no chance. The kid plays hard. They are all learning their roles with Harrow back at point and back in the swing of things. This team is going to start to take off. On nights when Poy has it going they'll be unbeatable. They all need to find some consistency and I suspect they will by March. I really feel good about this team now that Harrow is back. I was worried that he might not be back when all that went down with him. Then I didn't know how long it would take him to get back to his normal self. Turns out the kid is a fighter and got himself back really quickly. I'm behind him and this team 100%.

I don't know about you guys but when I first saw John Wall play, I thought he was completely out of control but then that out of control become more control and he became my favorite. I believe this will happen with Archie too.

Every state has fans just like the state of KY has. I live in SC during the winter. I have been to every state and every school has fans who will say the same things if there school looses.
Try living in the south if you win the NC in football 2 yrs later you are fired. lol. (Auburn)
Thats just the way it is in the USA. Its all about me me me and now.

Dude.....please understand. I'm not just talking about fans, I'm talking in general. The most NEGATIVE people I've ever come across are my fellow Kentuckians! I was born, married a beautiful Kentucky girl, have three sons born in Kentucky.....just my general observation.....IMO.

I love Archies agressivenesthat Goodwin wills its what Poytress needs but the only thing I have critical to say about him is his drive to the hoop and do his own thing mentallity instead of looking for his teammates that may be open. Like someone said earlier if he learns to play as a part of this team he will score more and so will his teammates. The switching from SG to PG back to SG had to have been a bump in the road of his development, but that going back and forth is over since Harrow has improved so much in the past 3 weeks and Goodwin will be able to focus on the 2 guard spot exclusively so he should improve at a good rate these next couple of weeks or so.
