This was the wording on the FB post.
According to Rob Reinhart of the Bleecher Report/New York Hearld, Luke Goode will be committing to IU 🙏👍
Here is this guy. No idea of he is right — he’s an odd source for this and if it were true others would usually be reporting it. Probably a guess from him.
Right just like CE was for sure committing too. Dont get me wrong i think LG does committ his family has a legacy here so he should but it hasnt happened yet

Illinois can't be happy about the Goode development, although they perhaps knew of it.
Ty Rogers is the ONLY one of the top 8 scorers returning for next year. They also have '23 freshman Gibbs-Lawhorn from Indiana and a little European pg that will probably get some time.
They've had a good year so far in the portal but no top 20 types. One guy's rated around 25, one 50-60, and one 100-120. Their '24 HS class was adequate, with one guy listed as #35 and two in the 100-125 range.
They really need more portal talent to have a shot to be an upper division BT team next year.
Finally a shooter. Career 38 percent.

Remember when Illinois got mad when Eric Gordon came to IU after verballing to UI? One of the UI players slammed into him during the player introductions. It's a weird world we live in today that an Illinois kid who played there can just mosey on up and come to IU.
He is a nice shooter. I have also noticed that he is pretty rugged and plays hard. And a decent rebounder considering that he isn’t all that athletic. Would be a great add IMO.
Purdue's second or third best player, Loyer, is a poor man's Goode.

Let’s see what Loyer and other guards look like without Lurch in there. Ol’ Lurch made it a lot easier for PU guards.
PU is thin on athletes. Furst, Kaufman-Wren, Smith and Loyer aren't sloths, but they will struggle at times against superior athletes. Edey hid a lot of shortcomings. They will return to a physical ugly grind it out team that will get uglier when their guards face more athletic and/or bigger guards.
Some of their younger players are more athletic, Colvin, Heide, Catchings.
Purdue won’t get the amount of calls either without Zach. They’ll have to play 5-5 next year instead of the 8-5 advantage they enjoyed the past 2 years.
Loyer looked a junior high school player going up against UConns guards.
It's hard to estimate the influence Edey had on all aspects of the game, but I too agree it was huge. I think their FT attempts, assists, offensive rebounds and shooting %s on 2s and 3s are all going to fall off and I also think Loyer and Smith are going to find it much tougher to get shots without big Zach in the middle.
I would agree but even the worst JV players in Indiana don’t spend that much time rolling around on the floor after contact.
Agree. Purdue's offense really relies on having a dominant big man to create open looks for their shooters. Kaufman-Renn is okay, but he won't draw double teams-neither will any of their other bigs. Opposing defenses will be able to lock down on Smith & Loyer.
Loyer is nobody’s 2nd or 3rd best player. Loyer sucks.
PUke won't recognize basketball without Lurch.
And our guards looked like the junior high school reserves watching the game from home.
Painter has a system and a knack of finding these beasts. He won't find an Edey again. But rest assured, he'll find more 7+ footers and develop them for his system.
To be fair, Purdue didn't exactly show up in the NC game either. Loyer sure didn't.
But IU has a new backcourt
pu backcourt returns without Edey
pu backcourt was exposed against St.Peters and UCONN
yep, Demitri McCamey. the fans treated his family extremely poorly too, shame on UI for not handling it better.
Not disagreeing. But there is a world of difference between watching from home and playing in the title game. Of course IU will bring a new back court...but what will it look like? We don't know. And when we do, it will be unproven and will need to come together. Again...the lack of continuity brings a wild card.
Freshman don't win big games.
Duke and UK.. etc has figured that out..
And Purdue's Freshman are good.
But none close to a Flagg type..
Rice and Carlyle have a whole season of P5 college ball under their belts. We have a much better idea with them than incoming players from high school or mid-majors.
Grateful you had an opportunity to shit on our program again today. #Blessed.
I talked with a puKE friend (I know oxymoron) a week after the NC. I said I was sweating a little going into that game. His answer was "get used to it, it will be that way for at least the next decade". I smiled and walked away.
