Not if it is coming from just this single source.

8 hours ago he posted Illini for life on his twitter feed. Interesting

Twitter account since.....April 2024.  Twitter bio says he has covered sports for the 'New York Herald since 2024'.  Wikipedia indicates the New York Herald has not existed since 1924.

IMO Goode and IU have been in indirect contact for some time and barring some last minute fly in the ointment he'll commit.  I use the phrase indirect contact because technically our staff isn't supposed to have any direct contact until a player is officially in the portal.  Lots of backdoor ways for negotiations to take place and circumvent that restriction.

Why do we want goode so bad? He averaged lees than 6 per game?

Because IU needs a shooter off the bench and someone to space the floor when they inevitably go with one big. You’re not ever going to have an 8-9 man rotation all average double figures.

His role won’t be to score double figures. He will be brought in to shoot 3’s and space the floor for 15-20 min/game. 
 

his offensive rating last season was 124, very efficient on low usage.

Because he fills a role, and it appears to be that he is willing to play that role.  Who else is willing to play that role?

Why do we need Goode?

Pretty simple ... 

We lost a No. 10. He's No. 10. 

He fits the shirt. LOL!

He actually fits what we're looking for at this point. A guy that is ok with 15 min a game that can shoot 3's effectively. Also a guy that WANTS to be a Hoosier (apparently).

Sounds like we’re taking Goode, so the Humdinger train from Evansville has left the station. He’s leaning Louisville.

[coonhounds 10,523]

Thanks all for the replies. I am in then. Just thought some of the posts I was reading was like he was going to be a major impact player and I wasn't seeing it lol

Anyone we add at this point is to fill a role.

I like getting Goode but really wanted Humrichous.

Any update you’ve heard on Malone?

I couldn’t remember how to spell it and Humdinger sounds better anyway.
