People can play nice all they want, the moment you transfer to a hated rival like Indiana, you're no longer an Illini for life... 0 rooting for the kid now... except for after school and in life in general lol.
*positionlessKnowing whether someone can guard a big or a wing or a guard is helpful for purposes of figuring out roster construction and lineups. Trying to figure out if Booth is a 4 or a 5 is pointless.

I guess he’s been wearing the clown pants for a while.
Oh jeez he is bigger than I thought. Hot dog!
It's going to suck seeing Goode play for that loathed rival but I do wish him success in every game he plays except for against our beloved IlliniI guess he’s been wearing the clown pants for a while.
The terms 4 and 5 (or 1, 2 or 3) no longer have set meaning. Coleman was the biggest player on the floor for us for a majority of minutes. Does that make him a 5? Or does the fact that he shot 3s make him a 3? Or does being 6’10” but skinny mean he is a 4? These terms have no meaning.4 and 5 definitely matter when the other team has a post oriented 5. For CH, it's probably a PITA to be that defender so he wants to play with Dain. Some players don't want to be that post defender when you want them to be.
It won’t be yuck when he’s trying to guard one of our players.
How is a grad transfer choosing one of the top MBA programs in the country where his entire family are alum… unnatural?I am Mr. Appreciation for people that have been a part of our program, and the same is true for Goode, and I have no doubt there were push as well as pull factors here, but this sucks!
The problem isn't that this is some horrible betrayal, the problem is that given the current state of college basketball, it isn't.
This is unnatural and bad.
Yes.He got a degree in 3 years while playing Division one BBall?

Players shouldn't play for both sides of a college sports rivalry.How is a grad transfer choosing one of the top MBA programs in the country where his entire family are alum… unnatural?
What would be unnatural is him not choosing a school in his best interest simply because of a sports rivalry, and a rivalry that hasn’t been very prevalent for most of his lifetime.
You’ve had some bad takes, but this isn’t just bad it’s unbelievably selfish. Especially if we consider the fact that he already got his degree from this school.Players shouldn't play for both sides of a college sports rivalry.
The norm should be players using their entire eligibility at one school, as is the (also dissipating) norm for students. That connection, that parallel, is unique to college sports and is what makes a laughably inferior minor league competition a beloved (and lucrative) cultural touchstone.

This sport will collapse if this is where its going. And that's bad for everybody.
I live in Indiana, and I approve this message.They might, but these particular roads have a helluva lot of potholes ready to claim a rim.
