I've only been able to watch videos online and talk with friends back home in Fort Wayne, but I'd love to hear some thoughts and projections on his potential as a college player. First, I love the fact that he is a successful quarterback. You have to be a tough, competitive, athletic leader to make that happen. Especially at a large school like Homestead. I get that he is not rated as highly as Dane Fife, but that's the former Hoosier that comes to mind. Second, if the above assumptions are correct, you add to the fact that he is a sharpshooter, and it seems like a no brainer. Give me a competitor that wants to go on the road and silence the crowd with a dagger three, then shut down an opposing scorer on defense. Be interested to know if any of this is close to how he projects from those that have seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only shooting like 31% from 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only shooting like 31% from 3 That's a great question I unfortunately can't answer. Hope to hear some other thoughts. Much can go into a shooting percentage including level of competition, how he is used, the type of defenses he faces, and ability of other teammates just to name a few. His stroke looks pretty smooth to me, and he appears to be very confident. Looking forward to hearing more about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is when you are the focal point of the offense you have to create shots and force shots that won’t be asked if him to take in college. That will bring your percentage down.

rico Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Luke with 17 as Homestead beats Norwell 51-34. Edit: Just saw some expanded highlights. Goode has a mid-range game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHoosier Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 The thing is Goode wouldn’t need to be a 16 PPG scorer for IU. His value would be a knockdown three point shooter which would help space the floor. With the current (and potential) pieces, I think he would be a seamless fit. Hope we offer soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierinbham Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Looking at his stats. He is a career 34% shooter from three. The fact he was 38% as a freshman on significant volume tells me he can shoot. I would assume the increased focus by opposing defenses, and being asked to do more, has caused a drop in percentage. The ability is there. Saw he shot well last summer when he played up a year. We wouldn't need him to be a focal point and ask him to create very often. The question is, can he hit open looks from deep on kickouts from the post or drive and dishes, and also coming off screens. Lander and a healthy Rob can really help with this. Additionally, our offense has created open looks, we just don't have guys that can hit them at a respectable rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great for a fresh and soph. Sure he's probably getting face guarded for 90 feet. The Blackmons do too and hit much higher than that. JBJR. 47% as a senior hitting over 4 a game. I watched him hav3 a guy in his shirt for 90 feet still put up the easiest 38 I've ever seen a high school player do. Shooters have an ability to hit shots like they aren't even trying. Ryan Cline shot 45% on 180 shots his senior year(through sectional). These are shooters. 30% and being hopeful he's going to stretch the floor at IU is just wishful thinking. I'm not against the kid, just saying, that's reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stroke and release just look awfully good. He had a tournament where he played up in the EYBL last summer and shot 38%. It'll be interesting to see how this summer and next year provide more opportunities to show if the number is closer to 38% or 30%. Of course, his college decision will have been made by that point, so it's up to our coaching staff to project what kind of shooter he will be in college. I'd love for him to be a feared sharpshooter for us, but that may or may not be a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I would have to see his games and see what kind of shot selection he has and if he has to take a lot of contested shots. If he is really the only really good player on his team he might have to try to do to much and take some bad shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndySportsPartizan Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Sean McDermott is my comparison of who he is/potential. Sean only hit 34% from 3 as a Sr in HS. Sean was the #78 SG in the country. Luke is the #20 SG in the county. He is much more than a Zeisloft. No offense to Nick. Sometimes its not about ranking, but about how a kid fits into your program.

dgambill Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Is the offer to Luke a sign that Wesley or Muhammad are getting away?? I mean we have offers out to both those guys and with who we have in the fold already are we really taking more than one guard in the 21 class?
