"Kaden Archie is a player who has impressed me since his high school days, especially as an athlete in transition and around the rim. He's effective driving to the rim and can finish through traffic, and is also adept at guarding multiple positions at the other end of the floor. I feel he can become an impact player at Georgia Southern."
