Yea.  The IUBB culture is mostly baked into these guys before they enroll at IU.  Plus of course the state produces a lot of talent.  It’s been a huge waste not to get these guys for so many years.  I expect this will change with CDD.

Indiana kids can shoot!  We have so many in the state and we’ve chumped out.  Conway, Mullins, Goode, and now Tre Singleton.  We could field a damn good team with mostly all Indiana kids.  Guess what I’m saying is DDV has the resource here and hope he can take advantage of it….

Was Trader Vic's a cousin of Trader Joe's?

Needed? No, probably not.

I still want him on our roster. He's got leadership potential on next year's team, plus he fits the mold Devries looks for in that he can do one thing really well (shooting).

Remember him acting like the adult after the Maryland game, instructing Woodson to shake hands?

We have 5 spots to fill, I see no reason he couldn't be one of those.

Not convinced with the rotational roles we need... Goode really fits any of those. Being able to hit shots is great, though. We have 6 kids who have been on a college campus for 3+ years... so I would hope we have plenty of leadership now. 

I didn't say anything to the contrary of this entire post. Yes, I remember after the Maryland game?

I prefer this to Clif Marshall taking the team fishing, putt-putting, and doing cooking classes. 

I'm kidding, mostly.

I prefer basically everything over the last 8 years.

Goode is an exceptional student. He also has something that this fanbase has been clamoring for for a long time—a high basketball IQ. Finally, he was the starting quarterback at FW Homestead, not a bad program. He has the quick thinking and decision making needed to play that position, and the toughness as well. This team may have recruited better shooters than Luke, but no one has the combination of intangibles he brings to the team.

This 1000% he's the one guy I really want on our team above other recruits that may be better.  I hope he gets the waiver or wins a law suit.  He brings so much to the team and his heart and effort for IU show on the floor.  I really long for the day we have Indiana kids on the floor again that had a dream to wear the candy stripes.  I know NIL makes things different but I still like to think there are kids that grow up hoping they will play for IU...
