It seems that every class has a late bloomer that makes a big rise in his junior or senior year and for the 2018 class in Texas, Kaden Archie is that player.
TBB got the chance to talk to the 2018 guard who has received offers in the past two weeks from Texas Tech, Texas, SMU, LSU, Oklahoma State and more.
“They all have been on me pretty hard all trying to sell their program to me so hopefully I can set a couple of unofficials and go deeper and depth,” Archie said ” There all just coming in at once and it’s overwhelming but exciting and I’m grateful and blessed this is what I always wanted but now I’m just taking my time and evaluating all the schools.”
On the growth of his stock, Archie mentions hard work and working with a purpose as the key to his improvement.
“Hard work there’s really no secret to it for my improvement. just being hungry and doing every drill with a purpose,” Archie said. “I’ve improved my handle and jump shot as those were definitely the part of my game I put the most emphasis on and it’s starting to show that I’ve been working on it.”
On what motivates Archie
“The people who doubted me some people didn’t think I can compete on a high level consistently and some people just looked past me.”
Archie will see a rise in our rankings as he is showing parts of his game that we see will translate to the next level. We will have updates on Archie’s recruitment so check texasboysbasketball.com on news and notes.
