It says on the Barrie Colts site that he played some exhibition games last summer at their training camp which would virtually eliminate NCAA as an option. That is unless they were only referring to intrasquad games.
Personally I like this kid a lot. I would put him ahead of Werek (I know Werek is younger). Archibald did everything on his own to develop & be noticed, he has earned all his stripes & points himself. I like his determination & wish him luck.
