Really can’t see the difference between Goode and us wanting and being fine with Storr. At least Goode got a degree from Illinois and was part of an E8 team that will have a banner in the rafters. Would like for him to go somewhere else, so we don’t have to play. But degree plus part of an E8 team makes him an Illini for life.

Good news is they will have Luke guarding our wing transfer.....

Not a fan of bringing Melendez back. I really wanted him to be successful here, but he can’t get over the mental part of the game. If he could, he’d be a good role player. I just don’t see that happening.

I watched 5-6 georgia games this year and R J was a role bench player there.......He did have a game where he scored , I believe , 37 points but every time I caught his game he seemed to be the same R J that left here in his on court performances........

I will say that he has filled out and is NOT the skinny dude when he was here........

I think we have a lot better options to pursue before we broach that situation again....................JMHO........

For everything Goode gave to the program I sure hope our fans can continue to be respectful regardless where he goes. No doubt he has been an Illini and EDG through and through. Yea I’d hate to see him in stupid candy stripes but there is plenty to hate on at IU without dragging Goode through the mud. If he goes there I hope he drops 5 3s a game and they lose every game. Win win then.

Been watching a lot of onyenso tape. This play really stood out to me.

Won’t have my support for taking the identical role on an in conference rival. Happy for him here but that’s the end of that

It’s indeed frustrating if it is to be Indiana; particularly when Indiana showed no apartment interest in him in the first place. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)…this might not be completely accurate:

If I’m a Wisconsin fan I’m glad Storr is going to another conference.

I really don't see Goode leaving as a basketball decision, but more of an education/life decision. He's not going pro, he has other plans for his future and if Indiana fills that need , and he can play ball for another year it's a win/win for him.

That’s the other thing I find interesting — all the angst some seem to have about him leaving. I like Luke, but he’s a tweener. Not quick enough to guard the wing and not big enough to guard most 4s.
