I like it but I don't get into the numbers like some. He's a tough kid former HS QB, great shooter, can guard some and he wants to be here. He's a team guy plus has played in some big games. 

I liked that he's played on a high major. Illinois has had some good teams the last 3 years.

Seen a lot of illinois fans say he's a bad starter but an amazing complementary piece off the bench and are sad to see him go

I don't see why a 6'7 guy couldn't play some spot minutes at the 4 spot and also some at the 3 spot. 

Gallo/Goode/Tucker/MM would be a very long and lengthy group at the 1-4 spot all on the court at the same time

Since his visit was an unofficial visit (unless i misread that) I think that also shows we had a lukewarm pitch for him

I saw that too but thought that meant he was paying his own way(?)  and was a very encouraging sign he was interested.

Underrated aspect of Goode is he's a great offensive rebounder from the wing which is something we had very little of last year

Bascially Luke Goode is similar to Miller Kopp in the position he would play.  He's a 3 but can be pushed into a 4 based on matchup.  You aren't going to play him as a 4 if the other team is playing a traditional 4 but you can play him at the 4 in a small ball lineup.  Illinois to Indiana would be a pretty lateral move in terms of playing time and fit IMO as well as NIL so if he likes his role at Illinois but wants to be closer to family it would make sense.  If he is looking for increased court time, not so much.

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

If he's realistic and wants to win, he does.

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

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.

Jamie Shaw of with an On3 prediction of Luke Goode to 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.

[Bowhunter]

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.
