2006 only feels like forever.
I don't want Indiana's players either. The Storr thing was gross. This is poison for the billion dollar industry that is writing all these NIL checks

They never really had a set meaning. It's just a loose convention that some use as a shortcut when talking basketball. If you find the numbers useful, use them. If not, don't use them. Most people get what you mean when you say Coleman was a stretch 5 for us this year. As they say these days, it's not that deep...

Well Goode riddance then! You can't be an Illini for life and play for the Loosiers. That's equivalent to black and white, up and down, stop and go, etc... All he can do is stand in one spot and shoot a 3. I almost forgot about him being the instant mismatch in almost every defensive scenario
I'm already over it. The only question that matters is...Does he have a soul?

And yet, here we are talking about a kid who got his degree and chose to go to another school to get his MBA and a school he grew up watching his family go to. Nothing to do with NIL. No “poison.” Nothing “unnatural and bad.” A kid making a decision that sets his life up for the best possible future, and yet you sit here and belittle him.

He has played four years, this is his 5th (covid) year, and his last.
Fair enough. I think watching endless episodes of peppa pig while home with my sick daughter today had me in an argumentative mood.

Agreed. He also wasn’t that big of an impact player (if we’re being brutally honest) for us to be THAT mad he left for IU
Ah, she saw the Goode commits to Indiana news, too, eh? Bummer
(I don't actually have any hard feelings toward Goode. It's just all the, you know...
that's been going on...)
I'll see myself out...

Get used to it. Professional sports has been this way for three decades. Don't fall in love with the player...fall in love with the team. Players can move yearly now and to your most hated team. Don't buy jerseys as they may only be good for a year. Welcome to free agency.
I know you know this, but I have to chuckle at coaches who unintentionally manage to exaggerate what "postionless" means. This term doesn't mean "no one has a position, and anyone can carry out each and every needed role on our team." It only means that players are offensively more versatile in this era than they were in previous eras. But each player typically has a single, distinct defensive position, and then maybe a couple of different major offensive roles. The latter part of that description -- a couple of different major offensive roles -- is the "positionless" feature.
Big guys can handle and shoot from range; guards can be effective in the post. Yay, positionless!

His little brother is also a student at IU. I had the good fortune to spend a couple years with my brother at the same college. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
It’s not just a sports and academic thing. It’s a family thing.
Any huge names that aren't in the portal yet, will be by next Tuesday. That's according to our trusty insider...Gary Illini Fan 0440 currently residing in LVILLE
Ridiculous.
Look it makes sense. But, Indiana sucks. Figure it out, Bub. Lol
So did this kid from Evansville actually commit… or?

I know it won't happen because....people......but Luke should receive one of the loudest SFCAH cheers for an opposing player ever if IU travels to C-U.
If any of you are involved with Krush....I hope they get this message.
And to Luke (and family), you should all be required to wear some sort of minor tribute to Illinois when you come back. Orange underwear or whatever.

while I normally don’t share your fatalistic view of the future of college sports , we do agree that the direction it is on now is not only not sustainable , it is accelerating the demise of half the programs and all the traditions that make college sports in the US distinctly unique in the world
Does Luke believe he will have a bigger role to play at IU? I suppose he does, and then this move makes sense. Or maybe it also makes sense if the NIL benefit is larger.
I understand that it may be that Luke's been recruited-over at Illinois, but in the end, will he have more PT at IU (Didn't Luke get abou 20 minutes per game this past season)? Or at least a bigger role if not more actual minutes. I'd like to understand this transfer a bit better. Any insight would be great.

If I am remembering correctly, there was some sort of technical compliance/NCAA issue, played in an impermissible summer league or something like that.
Looks like he sat out the first six games, first played against Missouri on December 6.
On the final day of the B1G conference season, Goode will drain a buzzer beater 3 to beat whatever team is competing for the regular season championship with us (maybe USC?), clinching the title for the Illinois. The prophecy has spoken.
It isn't that hard for a good student given summer school. BB players seem to enroll the summer before FR year these days so they can start training. If they take 2 courses each summer (pre-frosh, pre soph, pre-jr) and you throw in 2-3 HS AP courses, they are done in 3 years.
Feeling lazy yet?
