Anyone have any idea how long it will take to get a ruling?

Would be fantastic if it happens.

Does Goode fit what Devries is looking for?  I would think so, but who knows?

He strikes me as a good locker room/culture fit and can shoot the 3..only concern is lack of quickness on D, but overall I'd be happy if he plays another season.

If you have Goode and DeVries on the court at the same time with a strong penetrating PG.....good luck defense. That floor spacing would be crazy. Add the fact that DDV would be running stuff for both of these guys to get shots. Yeah I think Goode can fit. His defense could be an issue though I agree.

These cases generally get expedited during the spring because of the nature of roster construction and fall camps. Players and coaches need to know relatively quickly whether a guy is eligible.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this process. Good chance the NCAA denies the request, but Goode's team is already saying they'll take this to court if that occurs. Not sure if y'all have been following much lately, but the NCAA typically doesn't fare well in court.

The main argument they'd have against him receiving a waiver is that he returned from his injury. But the courts would call into question whether that is a fair metric, as they have done in past decisions. Whether a player returns or not, if he played few enough games to receive a redshirt, it should be awarded.

I have a relatively good feeling Goode will get his fifth year, but it's definitely gonna take some time to play out if the NCAA fights it.

Yes, I think Goode would win in court. If a player misses all but 10 games in a season with an injury, it seems pretty arbitrary to say that a player gets another season if, and only if, those 10 games are at the beginning of the season.

There's just not a strong legal argument in their favor other than "this is what we've always done."

That hasn't worked well for them in court in recent years.

Bring Goode for 3, DeVries for 3 on. Those 2 will make B1G coaches question their life choices.

Good stuff. Thanks for posting.  On the Assistant coach tab what does "in the mix" mean? Some are rumored and some are in the mix?

Everyone's reported Tucker DeVries in the portal as a formality. It's a foregone conclusion that he's joining his dad.

A friend down here in Florida who is a UNC fan came up and congratulated me on the Tucker DeVries signing so yeah that makes it official. I thanked him and his AD

HAPPY NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP DAY! 

On this day (March 30), we won three of our five nattys: 1987, 1981 and who can forget that memorable 1940 victory by Branch McCraken's boys over Kansas. 

Hoping D-Rock can start getting us excited about March again. Getting a little sick and tired of watching everybody else have all the fun.  

[Henryville Hoosier]

Thought this funny.
