...Archie Goodwin

Archie Goodwin is a highly touted basketball recruit. Many colleges are hoping he will join their team next year. One team has already been eliminated, Baylor. Though Archie has a great relationship with their head coach, something turned him off about the school. In his own words, "Coach Scott Drew is a great guy. I love Coach Drew. They were one of the first schools that were recruiting me. But I didn't like that they were an Adidas team, but that's not to say I wouldn't go to Kansas because Kansas is a great team. I can look over the Adidas thing — I own some Adidas stuff. [Goodwin played recent summers with the Arkansas Wings Elite team, which is sponsored by Nike] I didn't like their colors, either. I don't like green and gold. That's ugly …. When you got ugly colors like that, you gotta be Nike. …. Baylor has some ugly shoes, too." Ha! Though I do not find green and gold ugly, I am a huge Packer's fan, I find it funny that he passed up a school for such superficial reasons. Not only did he not like the colors but he did not like their sponsor, Adidas, are you serious? Maybe that was just his way of saying your school is not that good but I do think your coach is a cool guy, in a nice way. Who knows where Archie will go or if he will even be any good. I see a little DIVA growing in him, which is typical of a highly touted athlete. If it continues I expect to see him in the news for not so good reasons. But until then I will give him a Digit Up for his funny decision.
