I don't think Goode is truly comparable in the fact that he already graduated. Attending IU is also getting him scholarship to their prestigious business school for MBA.

I view him much more like a grad transfer, and I can't fault him in the slightest. From the long-term financial perspective, Goode is making the correct decision in every way by leaving Champaign. It will obviously feel weird seeing him play for the enemy, but I am happy that he gets to fulfill his childhood dream and get a great MBA as well.

Now never to speak good of IU ever again!
I keep seeing this and as a Gies grad I think he could have done just as well staying here for that mba. Just my .02.

Coleman for
Coleman is NOT coming back to be a 5. Or going anywhere else to be a 5.
Certainly is NOT a 5..He may be a help side defender on a 5,but he was getting brutalized by the beefier centers.I love the guy and for sure if we get a 5 where he is able to spoonfeed a guy like Kofi or Georgi,yes he would get more outside shots and freedom to drive but those benefits might increase some of his flaws like concentration and sometimes his propensity to go wilding out cowboy.....He does have a taste of Draymond Green in him,good and bad..But he is a senior with all the answers for Brads coaching theories...So come on back Big dog..This team is yours and one more decent center,He makes us final four material..

Indiana was ranked #31 MBA school. Illinois was not ranked. Luke should have transferred to Harvard, Stanford or Northwestern if it was about B-school. I have an MBA from Carnegie Mellon but I was a Illinois BSEE MSEE. Why do people with business undergrads like Luke get MBA's? Just repeating coursework.
Luke is an Indiana kid and I am sure would have gone to IU if they had offered him out of HS. This is a lifetime dream. I had been forced to play for "gasp" Iowa for 3 years and got chance to transfer to Illinois my senior year I would be gone no matter how sucessful I had been at Iowa. Of course I grew up an Illini fan since I was 5 with my Nick Weatherspoon NG poster on my bedroom wall.

What about Sylvester from the 04-05 OSU team that knocked us off the undefeated pedestal? That weird mouselike face structure...He still has a top 3 punchable face for me 😅 That sufferin succotash face got a little pudgy after 4 years

Now that that's settled, how do you pronounce his name. Someone said it sounds like Jack Brickhouse. So HUM-RICK-HOUSE?
Might have been me, if you know who Jack Brickhouse (rhymes with humdinger) is, you are probably old as dirt like me.
