Goode will be a significant part of the rotation I’m sure. Don’t think he’ll be a starter. I’m a good bit lower on him than much of this board, though.

can i ask why? he has good length, decent athleticism, and good form on his shot. He was relatively highly regarded coming out of high school and appears to have bought in to the "every day guys" mentality while receiving more minutes than any of our freshman. I don't see him as all B1G caliber necessarily but i could see him starting for us at some point
I think he’s solid and can be a good rotation guy, so maybe I’m not as low relative to most as I think I am. I just think he’s a bit slow/flat-footed/stiff, and I’m of the mind that the more guys capable of creating off the bounce the better, and that’s not him.
He’s also sort of an awkward size where I think he’s not quick enough nor does he have the ball-handling chops to be a starting-level 3, and also isn’t big enough and/or good enough defensively to be a full-time 4.
I like him as like a ~ 15-minutes-a-game guy to come off screens and knock down 3s.

I live in Ft Wayne and saw in at Aboite....I was also playing back in the day with Altenberger and see a lot of similarities. His 3 point shooting will only improve now that he has adjusted to the speed of the next level, and he seriously has great form, which usually means consistency.
so can we flashback to the Terrence Shannon
comment?
We still feeling particularly locky there? He's really been my #1 want since the beginning.

He’s been my #1 too, but the radio silence on him is concerningso can we flashback to the Terrence Shannon

As of know we should be in good position, as I am unaware of any issues that could prevent us from taking him barring potential transfer issues. The other teams contending for him have issues such as no scholarships and transfer issues. I won’t say aso can we flashback to the Terrence Shannon

but we should like where we are right now.Illini in Indiana

Funny, it was also the way he played. Even he didn't know where he was going until the very end
Ty’s shooting is a known issue. He shot 64% and 51% from the free throw line last EYBL season and high school season respectively. He also only made a combined 6 threes over the course of the AAU and high school season. I’m also not sure he has ever played the 2, during EYBL he played the 4 and was highly effective in his role and played point during high school but I doubt he plays that role very much next season. Illinois should have better options for the 2 because Ty will probably be spending most of his time at the 4 where he is most effective.

They’d all settle for a final four
If Jake stays it will be very interesting and still may even if he doesn't. If Goode gets stronger it could get very interesting between he and Hawk if Coleman can't improve on the 23 and 29 percent from 3 next season. Hawk seemed to be headed in the right direction towards the end if the season. We need 3 but preferably 4 shooters around Kofi.
Anything more than 0% ginger is still technically "more", I guess.
It's the scrappiness about his game that I appreciate the most. Between him and Melendez, pretty excited to see what kind of sophomores we have.
Goode and Plummer are completely different players. Plummer can actually get himself open. Not that Goode wont be an important player down the line but the Plummer comparison isn't a good one
It was nothing. People just wanted to fill up 10 pages speculating Belo would return when it was clear that wasn’t going to happen.
Sorry, dub, Goode comes from the DMFW tree.
I'm only going to get concerned once Kofi makes his decision
It’s the entire state, not just UT.

Underwood said he believes Goode will score 1500 points as an Illini. That may be hyperbole, but it gives one an idea of what coach thinks about him.
Yeah, Plummer's quickness/burst + ability to penetrate and finish at the rim is a pretty significant difference.
Always, all the Moons have to line up just right for anybody to win a National Championship.
There are always several really good teams each year all capable of winning it. And with The Portal, any gaps or weak spots in many other solid teams can be quickly filled and they too will be serious contenders overnight.
But as for who really wants it... and dare one say who deserves it... few can match the Illini pedigree and claim. With the great legacy and traditional of the Prairie State love for the game and for the State nameplate school, the Illini have a unique call to gaining the big prize.
But as we know, one bad matchup during Madness... one wrong turn of an ankle to a key player... one off night of shooting... one bad pass in a crucial possession at the end of a key game... one supernova hot shot of opponent that no one can shut down... and you are out of it. Stone cold quick. No re-dos. One wrong step and the great journey is over.
Hence, those Moons all having to line up just right. Which also include when you are playing poorly one night but the other team is playing WORSE. And you get the benefit.
Call it luck... or good fortune... and somehow avoiding every wrong turn along the way that can you get you derailed... This is what gets you to the biggest grins and highest fives and most joyous bearhugs and warmest handshakes that come with THAT GREAT BIG TROPHY going into your home case.
Let’s hope the engravers know how to spell ILLINOIS the right way.
And for Illini Nation... stay thirsty my friends. But hopefully NOT for very long. The sweet nectar of ultimate victory is thick in the Illinois air.

At 7’2”, he had to be the tallest player in Illinois history.'05 was his senior year. Also had essentially the same amount of PT as his freshman year. Then again, if you're 7'2" and want to play more, it would be helpful to shoot better than 40.6% from the field.

I could not resist doing the math on this one. For the season, Goode scored 56 points in 28 games for 2.0 ppg.
Assuming he plays three more years, and say we bump up the games to 30 per season, he needs to average a hair above 16 ppg for the next three seasons to reach 1500 points, which would truly be ELITE.
I think your suspicion of hyperbole is warranted.Soulberries

Does he have to sit out a year? He already transferred once from Wichita State to Nevada.
