You wonder how we didn't get him to begin with...sheesh.

Shows he committed to Illinois after his junior year. Probably thought IU was a mess (which, it was at the time). I've read where certain guys (maybe Kyle Guy) wanted to come to IU but the coach at the time wasn't a fit (Crean or Miller).

Not sure if this is sorta known or if the topic has been broached -- I've been on vacation and visiting with out-of-town friends the past couple days, therefore mostly out of the loop -- but according to Tyme on Twitter, getting both Goode and Anderson isn't really an option. 

Guess it's one or the other.

Doesn’t matter to me as long as we get one of them

Yeah in that case give me Goode. IU legacy/Indiana kid, played in the B1G, made more 3's than Anderson playing on a top ten Kenpom team, and is the same height but heavier than Anderson, in case we need him to play some 4.

Just a hypothetical question since he is off the board, but for what this team needs would you rather have Hickman or Goode for the plug-in shooter role?

i don’t think there was ever more than 15 minutes available when you look at the guards we prioritized, but which do you feel is the better player in this spot?

It looks to me like Goode is a cleaner fit — the guard depth makes it harder to find a spot for e.g. Hickman/Essegian.

Whereas Goode can play 3/4 alongside Mgbako, spell Mgbako, play small ball 4, he’s high-level insurance if you need to patch up even up to 25-30 mpg if a starter is dinged up or Tucker isn’t quite as ready as you’d hope.

The Kopp comp @RaceToTheTop made is cleaner than lots of player comps. He’s more rugged and capable defensively and on the boards than Miller, and probably a bit less of a shooter (but career 38.8% on 219 attempts is about all you can hope for).

Also had a year when he only played 10 games, so I wonder if there’s any chance he petitions for a 5th year after next.

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

OT here..went and looked at his predictions. He has Mason Gillis going to Duke. Didn't see that one coming. 

[HoosierFan1994 4,807]

Best part of this potential addition..he wants to be here it sounds like. He probably would get more minutes at Illinois this upcoming season. 

[Artie86 2,418]

I know players are expected to play a certain amount of minutes per game, but minutes are earned then rewarded. If some of these new guys come in and require more minutes that expected, then so be it. Best players need to be on the floor.

The new rumors swirling (since we all love RUMORS), is that even after getting Goode (which was this morning rumor) is that Anderson actually wouldn't totally be off the table. 

[cleeter 2,394]

I wish i could be smart enough to actually make these. I have so many ideas

[Alford Bailey 12,445]

Give me Goode over a guy like Hickman. Already a B1G level player.

Goode would be an excellent fit here. A Mgbako - Goode forward pairing will hold up defensively against all but the biggest opponents. And offensively, that is an outstanding fit next to the penetrating guards we will have.

I consider Goode to be a high level role player, first or second guy off the bench type. I doubt we are going to find anyone better for the role we have available.

Well i for one am no source, anything i say came from someone else that i have followed for a while and would say has a decent track record. So it seems we have a little bit of a source off here perhaps. Time to get my popcorn out. 

[Bowhunter 2,740]

Goode and an athletic Big would be nice .

Yes we need another big for sure.

Allegedly Scheyer wants a more experienced lineup to surround Cooper Flagg with next season and he isn’t that concerned about some of the guys he’s losing.

 I guess we’ll see how that plays out. Gotta be a big adjustment for programs like Duke, Kentucky and Kansas now that everyone can buy players.

I have zero sources, but can't see how that would make sense for either player. We have a clear role available for a bigger shooting forward off the bench. But not for two of them. 

I like both players, but if Goode wants to come here I think that's a no brainer. We need to add a role player who is good, but not so good that he'll be unhappy coming off the bench. Goode is a proven quality role player at the Big Ten level. He's from an IU family. The fit does not get any cleaner than that.
