I think he stays. He wanted to be a Hoosier. His family is a Hoosier family.
No need to name a source in my book, I"m just curious how you know this. I live online and haven't seen anything like that stated anywhere. But ... I am a big fan of him not coming back.
Watched him against South Carolina and he put up shot after shot quickly . Not giving posts time to be in position. He's a gunner and very streaky. Not much different than Kopp was in poor defense too.
If true...then DeVries obviously did come in and sterilize the program. A guy like Goode would have been a natural guy to keep, on the surface. Maybe the overall mood, climate, culture was even worse than many of us were thinking it probably was?
As an example, specific to Goode, he did publicly call out the fan base...even saying don't "come back" type things. I think DeVries probably wants all the fans to "come back".
part of it is I think he sees him playing the same position as Tucker.
He doesn't. He said Beard was a done deal, and that Cupps was transferring to Akron or Dayton or some mid-major school. If he has a source, that source is not reliable.
He's a sooth-sayer, and, probably also the most fun hang in Southern Indiana and Kentucky when he's drinking.
I explained Beard, I assumed Whitten would go along I was wrong. Cupps was talking to Dayton, I think his family was surprised OSU jumped in, did anyone here see that coming
It sure comes across like you're either making stuff up...or you have awful sources.
But it is very entertaining.
Not to White Knight for Kurt here, but I can say with certainty that Beard's agent expressed his clients interest in the job. Beard wanted it.
I have no idea what IU did with that or where it went, but there was at least conversation.
I'm not some Jeff Rabjohns with breaking info all the time (tic), just a former coach who still knows a couple people that are rock solid.
Otis was probably on to something with his assumption it was Beard.
I don't know... his claim was that he (Kurt), had a "dinner" with some people that would know, and that it was decided.
There seems to be quite a lot of other information...which seems to be more credible, that leads to Beard never really being seriously considered. Beard's agent can say whatever he wants. And I don't doubt Beard wanted it. But the claim was that it was "done"...when quite a lot of refuting evidence and sources say it was never a real consideration.
Bingo. Also have Tucker D. and Sisley playing small forward. If Goode comes back that makes 3 and 4 if B. Tucker stays. Even with all the slots IU has open, that seems like too many given the need for guards and a couple of bigs.
I think there definitely could be a basketball reason to not want Goode, or at least not be committed to wanting Goode today... because you have Tucker DeVries and Trent Sisley as your only 2 roster spots, as of today.
I think all 3 players are actually fairly different from each other...but one consistent with them, is none of them are particularly good perimeter defenders.
Luke has been highly regarded, and seen as a leader type personality, for 2 VERY different coaches in Underwood and Woodson...so I think its very possible DeVries would see that same thing in Luke. Enough to promise him a roster spot... to help him fight for another year... maybe, maybe not.
Yes, may take awhile to play out. B. Tucker leaving may change things, as would (of course) Goode not being given another year of eligibility.
Bahamas happened...I think most everyone was assuming his time at IU was done after that showing. And Woodson resigning was one of the many theories floated. I personally don't think the actual decision was made immediately after Bahamas. Rather, during the mid/late B10 season slide.
But you definitely did call that before it was a "popular" thought on something that would happen.
Just saying your Beard call seemed very definitive...and since has been made to look pretty iffy... as in it appears there's no way it could have ever plausibly been as definitive as you made it sound...which opens up a lot of skepticism on it.
The whole coach search process was air tight, no one who covered IU or CBB knew until a day before.
Yet some random guy on Rivals free board had the scoop? Sure. All the rumors were misinformed donors or agents pushing client narratives.

Explaining why your predictions didn't come true doesn't change the fact that they weren't true.
If you don't know, stop acting like you do. "Done deal" and "subject to Whitten's approval" are not the same thing.
Luke Goode to seek medical hardship waiver to return for 2025-26 season
Luke Goode says he plans to apply for a medical hardship waiver for an extra year of eligibility.
Emphasis on the entertainment part.... Most of his posts are of the nearly illegible gibberish variety but that's why we read them.
Was never really considered by IU. The search firm IU used vetted Beard and unearthed more than just the one domestic dispute that the general public knows about. It's the same reason why Kentucky, Louisville, and Michigan didn't give him the time of the day last year.
In retrospect there is the appearance that CDD was the target all along, but I don't think anyone on the outside really knows.
Apology accepted. For penance I suggest 14 minutes of sobriety.

If he's serious about playing here again he needs to gain 3-5 pounds of muscle (minimum) and work at learning how to play some serious Defense... His having 17 points in the scoring column while also giving up 20 isn't going to help us Win games...
Bwahhhh! My blind and deaf grandmother could have called that one. Great contacts and insight!😏
I agree. Hard to imagine you cut a guy loose that wants to be here so badly
