[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 2038935, member: 748116"] Some on this board have questioned why Goode is out there at certain times. The above is an example of why. He thinks like a coach on the floor and he brings a down-and-dirty gritty energy to do some of the unnoticed things. (Coach has always appreciated that about him). Goode will be a coach himself somewhere at some point in the future if he wants to be. This fine Illini core group of guys has one key guy from our dear neighboring state of Indiana and one key guy from our dear neighboring State of Wisconsin and one megastar from our dear Lincoln Park High School in Chicago. (Just as a reminder... this Chicago Illini superstar at one point had NO Division I offers in his younger playing life. Think anyone will notice him now?) Not every guy can turn into a Shannon-level talent. But there are hundreds if not thousands of guys who could greatly develop their games like Junior has if things had turned out in a slightly different way for them. The amount of ball talent in this Nation (and World) is truly staggering. We always only see the tip of the iceberg of the ball talent in this World. Gyms and blacktops everywhere always have some. And anyone can be a Goode in the sense of bringing his level of energy and willingness to get dirty on the floor and do what it takes to win. You just have to want to and be willing to pay the price.
