Crap, Ward just made a prediction and it was good for us. That's a guarantee the opposite will happen. Where do you all think Goodwin is going since it won't be here?

I'm just poking fun at you Ward! :D although your track record is pretty rough. :suspicious:

First time I'd seen Goodwin. Thought he was purely a perimeter player going into the game. Didn't expect the intensity and bulldog mentality.

Wow. Talk about a dude who elevates his team. His defense needs some work, but I thought his willingness to get up on #25 from LWE was awesome. You can teach things like that.

Sign me up on this kid.

Goodwin is a tip of the spear guy. The type of guy who wills his team to pull out close ones. Yes, he needs to hit FTs better. His D, while good at the HS level, will need to improve. Really hope he casts his lot with us.

Just a couple of comments from watching the IHSA

1. Chastain is a BIG player, just don't know what school is best fit. Possibly NU and Wisconsin, but I don't think they have offered. Appears to have solid size for a WF and good shot. Obviously kid can jump, probably help him rebound at next level.

2. D Williams looked to be under the weather as reported. Once again I think his high value comes from being a PG. As a SG not sure he is rated top 100, but kid has good size and athleticism. Can see him a good defender next level, also plays grounded. HRF was more of a risk taker at this level. Also D Williams has too play anywhere from PG-C for his team. When Frank was at PM he could play PG for the most part because he played along a college size team.
3. Goodwin, I can see him being a stat stuffer. Like the comparison to Smart from OKC. Definately developed more guard skills this year vs last year.
4. Rakocevic, kid is very skinny. A project IMHO. Had good stats but also gave up a ton of offensive rebounds to Athloff. Also both Athloff and PM got inside points. He stuff the guards but won't be doing that at the next level.

Maybe Ward has embraced the idea that when he makes a pick it ends up being the opposite. Which means he actually has heard Goodwin is going elsewhere and this is his way of letting us know early.

Thank you, good sir, thank you. :thumb:

Well from what I was told at the sectional game at Highland I believe Ole Ward got this one right. Time to seal the deal.

Pretty ticked I forgot about that game happening. Would have loved to go, I was in highland that night anyway, heard it on the radio while flipping through stations and realized it had slipped my mind.
