Well Done!
WOW. That would be quite a jump.

This could be a really big get if the closing was indeed his visit.
Frazier, DMFW, Ayo, Feliz, Curbelo, Miller.....then TyTy? Imagine TyTy with the same 15-20 lbs. we've seen on these guys.
This is an unbelievably amazing 5 possibly 6 year run of guards. Take out Frazier and DMFW (Groce) and still this staff is killing it.
Now.....how's about some...

Ju...just don't ty ty one on....and don't make fun of my stutter....I...I didn't make fun of yours!
Let’s hope he picks the orange and blue hat.
Great in the post , uses both hands beautifully, good passer, 3 point range = Beast
Goode, Ty TY and Etienne would be the third monster class in a row for Underwood. The Illini really need Etienne.

He looks like a slightly more physical Giorgi to me. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but “Beast” might be a little too orange koolaidy.

He’s not committed yet, I’d say the same thing if he was committed elsewhere. He heard from Duke at one point and has interest from Kentucky and Kansas. I’m not sure those teams recruit anything but beasts
Looks more like a 4 than a 5 to me but think that would be ideal for BU as long as big enough to rebound and play defense. Be interesting mix with Mac, Giorgi, Cole, BBV, Jermaine and Brandon. Lot of size mixed with some shooting, ball handling, and passing skills. Post Kofi era will be very different.

No offense to Indy, Mac is a great player offensively... but I saw him live on the circuit a few times last year and he was getting destroyed in the post by quicker, longer big men!
in all seriousness, Mac seemed to dissolve rather quickly against Diabetes and couldn’t absorb contact from Kepnang...

I think the market for quality big men is thin in this class. I don’t think we are the only major program having to scrap & claw our way thru the weeds to find a “beast” to fit in our front court.
No. Not a viable one...

In BU we trust

The backup plan is Hamlin and Lieb
Does anyone know why Mac is waiting until spring to commit?

No but some guesses-
he’s under no time pressure to commit to us or Miami (his top two choices currently) because we’ll have a spot for him in the spring. He’s drawing interest from other schools (most recently Kentucky) and wants to see what offers come in. And maybe he wants the chance to do more research and potentially visit places, which may be a possibility if covid relents.
Basically it seems like we’re not in a position to rush him and he reasonably wants to take his time and see what develops.

Have no idea. Sometimes guys wait because they don't yet have an acceptable SAT scores or they are missing a core course.
Excited to have Goode. Excited to have what sounds like a gamer. Maybe his shot % will increase now that he does not handle pg duties, but in long run, may also have improved his handles. Toughness seems to be his mo, along with smarts, and also shooting.
