That did it, didn’t it?  

Not being coy (lol)... that's the first rotation for next year I've heard/thought about that's gotten me actually excited for next season. That rotation - especially assuming Mgbako and the guards take another step forward this offseason - is going to be scary. So balanced.

You could mix Trey in with the 2 guards. All 3 can create off the high ball screen and get teams scrambling.

100% and that's not even accounting for Malik in all of this. This roster is going to have a lot of options, rotation and play style wise.

Goode does so much to enhance the roster, including versatility. Let's go

Yeah, let’s just hope he still abandons the hockey subbing he might be tempted to try to resume. 

He won’t given the talent. But…given the mins available, this is a very good pickup.

I'll make the same comment here as I did in our latest women's recruit Shay Ciezki's thread.  Nice advantage Luke has is already having experienced B1G basketball and how certain teams play as well as individual players not to mention the godawful officiating.

This team could do some damage with this roster!

Eric Gordon revisited for Illinois fans?

Let’s freaking go!!!!!

So your optimism is seasoned with a tiny dash of PTSD.

Sounds tasty.

Welcome to Hoosier Nation.  Goode Goode gum drops, my heart is full of flip flops!  lol!  He definitely fits a very very important need on many levels!

Our current bench?

Trey Galloway, Luke Goode, Bryson Tucker, and more.

Damn

I’ll believe Gallo is on the bench when I see it — 

but regardless— trying not to say “deep” since that always comes back to bite me —

we now have a much stronger team than last year, and pretty much nailed the Portal

I googled him to find his career high. Got a 404 error on the Illinois athletics site. 

Do you think we hurt their feelings?

(His career high was 16 vs Purdue on Jan 5, fyi)

[HoosierHoopster 6,157]

I did not think he’d pick IU initially given his clear PT options elsewhere, happy to eat crow (where’s the pepper?), he’s a really good (avoided saying goode) addition— nice!

[steubenhoosier 571]

Awesome job by the staff.

It was mentioned earlier that Archie should have recruited Goode all along. Pet peeve for me in that IU has consistently ignored the northern part of the state. Lots of good basketball up here and rarely is IU seriously involved with high level recruits. Common knowledge that Archie assumed Furst was IU bound and stopped recruiting him. Painter, who is active and visible here came in and swept him up.

Maybe Luke’s commitment will be the first step in changing this, but I remain skeptical

Glad to see we won’t go into next year empty on talent.

This is better than I could have anticipated for this roster spot. High level player in your 8-10 range

I think he's more like 6-7. And I could easily see him finishing some games. Pretty much an ideal role player, I love this addition.

Welcome Luke. Please shoot the ball every time you touch it.

Welcome home, Hoosier.

******* Archie Miller; Luke Goode should have been a Hoosier all along.

As an addition to the “f******g” Archie Miller” vibe, this is on Luke’s Instagram story, from his freaking childhood babysitter!

Thank you Jake and Ella Goode:

That is Ben Skowronek’s sister I believe of NFL fame. Both Homestead Spartans.
