Live look in at the in home below:

I still think there are no less than 15 mins a game for Goode and some games 20 mins+.... Tucker is a FR, Malik has foul trouble, and Goode is be our 1st or 2nd best shooter. Maybe Notre Dame can offer more than that, but I think the minutes are there, I really do. @ledies22

They have, but I'm sure Duke will be a prominent destination for the uncommitted portal kids, and they do have the #1 (high school) recruiting class coming in... I guess we'll see...

And I’m hoping not to see lots of mass substitutions.

How Cold are the winters there?

Carlyle was asked to do too much last year with all the facilitating of the offense he was expected to do. Him playing with Rice makes him so intriguing!

We will find out more on Thursday during his visit. PT vs team success and $ <--- guessing IU can put together a better NIL deal #30 vs # 20 business school Shrews vs IU family connections

I have no idea, Jamie Shaw seems pretty confident, though.

Thanks, that really makes me feel better. 🤔

I only feel better about Goode than Essegian because of the big family connections to IU. His dad and uncle played FB at IU. His brother attends IU right now. His parents apparently have season tix for basketball. And most importantly he wants to attend a business grad school. But other than that I know nothing - I'm just sitting back and eating popcorn like the rest of us.

Got a visit from the entire staff today

its not hard to find irony. Kinda like I'm sure Illinois passed on a guy who could have played all of last season, but instead picked up Shannon instead.

I fail to see any mins left at the 1-3, especially if Goode is added. Heck, the backup roles are already filled in those spots, as well.

We have 4 players who can play the 1: Carlyle, Cupps, Gallo and Rice. Granted that you ideally don't want Gallo to play PG for long stretches, but he can help out in a pinch. I think that if we get Goode, the next main priority would be a 4/5 guy who can get rebounds and protect the rim. I don't think we'd need him to score much.

How confident are we that Goode is coming? For some reason I don’t feel good about this…we’ve been fooled by the portal before. Just a few days ago Essegian was a done deal, and look how that turned out.

Lol....I live in Saskatchewan and some of the hills do have eyes here

Not to dive too much into this, since it's the expectations thread, but I think he (CMW) could really make life easier on himself... by just getting Malik/Ballo out of the game early--- 16/17 minute mark-- get one of them out, get TG in... Bring the other back in at the 13/14 minute mark when the other one needs a break... and then go from there. The caveat is Malik's foul trouble, while it improved drastically from his FR year-- there's still work to be done... at the same time, I don't think Malik needs to average much over 28/29 mins anyway, he was at that mark this past season.

Hasn't most of Duke's team entered the Portal? He probably will get that much playing time.

There isn't some plethora of D1 basketball recruits coming out of FW anyway. Football on the other hand....

Mike Woodson and the staff are having an in home visit with Sisley later today.

Mike Woodson and the staff are visiting Greenfield Central today

That would be a pretty huge jump for a guy with a very low usage rate at a mid major. But it could happen. Ironic, isn't having Leal committed one of the reasons IU didn't offer Goode out of HS?

I still think we need to find a true point guard. Rice may be an OK part time at the 1, Cupps isn't even close to being a true PG (yet), and I'd rather have Gallo @ 2-3. We've got the opening, just need to fill it. Seems like most of the attention in the portal is 2-5 positions. (we needed those as well, but I'd like a knock down shooter point guard)

would it help any more than Matt Roth being a head coach in Fort Wayne? probably too de minimis
