Do you think he comes here and wants to come off bench instead of going to a school like Notre Dame and starting ?

That's the $200,000 question.  As in, would he rather come off the bench for IU and make an extra 200K or start at Notre Dame?  ND isn't exactly NIL central in terms of bball money.

I'd just take living in Bloomington lol

Might have found our player to be named later

[Trish 12,441]

Here's his shot chart and other stuff for nerds. His adv offense and defense isn't great nor is his usage to true shooting. But he would only have one job at Indiana.

He's also one of the first who posted that he was in the portal.

As you and many have said, for each key piece we add it becomes progressively more difficult to fill with another quality piece because it's harder and harder for top players to envision a key role.

Therefore, it seems to me that the most attainable quality piece would currently be a stretch big, or for that matter any big. We still have an easily envisioned role for a player that has those skills.

We had a big role player and he went packing -- either voluntarily or un voluntarily.  Those spots are going to be difficult to fill because these days nobody is "forced" to stay put and develop.  It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy -- the talent level decreases, so the minutes decrease, so the player leaves.

Does his brother go to ND? Does his family have a house in South Bend? Did any relatives play any sports at ND?

He wants to come here.

Hickman, Essisan, and Anderson were coming in hot! Hoping this one works out cause we could really use Goode.

It's now official and  based on rumors we'll have an interest.

Why would he even consider IU?  Already had that high min. bench role, which probably isn't available.  I think he'd be looking for a starting role somewhere.

Because hs is a big IU legacy kid.  With all his family connections there is no way he didn't grow up an IU fan.  It could be one of those deals where you figure you aren't going pro, why not go to the childhood dream school if they are calling.

Other site is saying KSB was a big factor too

[Adillac 972]

family ties to IU + couple hundred thousand dollars + chance to play on a team that wins big..? its plausible that he'd consider IU. 

He might not have any delusions of grandeur about having starters minutes and being a star somewhere.

• Anderson was 32+ mpg  at FGCU and always started.
• Goode was 20 mpg at Illinois and rarely started.

That, plus Goode's next-level connections to IU make it a much more foreseeable fit in a 15 mpg role.

By the way, Goode averaged about one more rebound per 40 minutes than Anderson last year.

Furst would be a great backup big.

Ha, wouldn't that be a hilarious plot twist! Get a back-up C in Furst, back-up wing shooter Goode all while sticking it to Purdoo, Illinois and Notre Dame!? Sign me up! 

Seriously doubt that happens, but I agree with you that Furst would be a great fit.

A Kelley MBA is a helluva good thing to have. ND is a better degree generally, but a Kelley MBA nullifies that ND advantage.
