Penn here he comesUnfortunately, don't think its connected. I think Goode is leaving for academic reasons to get a solid MBA
Was thinking that it would be entirely on brand for him to leak info that he might be entering the portal just to poke our insecurities.Coleman entering the portal but then ultimately returning to Illinois in the end might also be the troll to end all trolls
Yeah, that would be time to panic.Coleman going portalling would be an unimaginable dagger…
Mighty, Mighty good post.Ben HumrichHOU
Rhymes with "men"it rhymes with brick house right?
Of course none of us on here really know what the conversation was between Luke and staff, but a couple insiders alluded to the fact that they asked him to stay and most likely for the reasons you stated above. Fresh off of garnishing his new business degree he probably realized it would be a wise business decision to try to continue honing his skills with a new employer for both growth in experience as well as financially. If this wasn’t a business before it sure as h*ll is now.Haha. That’s not the take here. Building a culture and an identity requires some glue guys and team players, of which Luke is both. As a player that bought into the necessary culture demands, to be recruited over, is not a good program move, especially when that dedicated player has a valued skill set. Anyone that’s ever been involved with JUCO athletics will understand this take.
Glad he has an unlimited calling plan!I feel like he fits in there

Link?Now Jeremy and Piper are pushing the Coleman portal narrative. Have fun at UNC next season. This sucks.
Sucks that fan favorite players have taken off for greener pastures. Friendly reminder though, that the Orlando Antigua announcement just came out. We wILL win in the end!I'm feeling a bit Gritty today........
Schools with at least one (1) billionaire alumnus/sports enthusiast should be able to raise unlimited funds for their NIL needs. It's why I've chuckled when I hear the use of NIL "budgets" for some of these programs. One would think several schools against whom we're competing (i.e. Arkansas) should have no parameters on what they can spend.Houston is now OUT on Johnell Davis …

The local market has two loaves for the price of one.We’re out on Brea …
Let’s also not forget that while Trent and Damonte didnt commit to Brad, they each played their entire 5 year careers for Brad (as previously pointed out). Meaning they stayed committed after Brad was hired and stuck till the end. So it’s not like Brad has only used mercenaries or has always run guys off. And he has risen this program to levels unseen since 2005 in 7 seasons. So alot of the guys he was recruiting originally were guys that really shouldnt be near a Big Ten program, but it was really all we could get after the Groce years. So in order for Brad to raise the profile, he had to raise the talent. Then NIL and the portal changed things massively for his last 2 seasons. Does Miller leave if he has to sit a year? Does Epps? Also, people reminiscing about how it used to be rooting for guys for 4 years, I ask this:I don't read too much into it - He spent 3 years at SF-Austin, 1 year at OK State, and while he's been with us for a while, his 3rd year was interrupted with COVID and then the Portal Wild West kicked into gear. For what it's worth, it doesn't count guys like Kofi, Ayo, and Giorgi who only played for us & him in their 3 years in college.
