As a Graduate, Goode has one year of eligibility left. There is the possibility that he could play his final season in Bloomington. Goode would be a legacy player; his father CraGoode would be a legacy player; his father, Craig, played wide receiver, and his uncle, Super Bowl Champion Trent Green, played quarterback for Indiana.
Goode was a solid rotational player for Illinois last year, leading the Illini in three-point percentage and second in three-pointers made, averaging 5.7 points and 3.6 rebounds. While not an elite athlete, Goode makes hustle plays and is a good shooter off the bench.
The Hoosiers need shooting, and Goode would be a solid addition to a rotation. Woodson wants to be 8-9 deep and have a legitimate, reliable second unit. Goode would be an excellent piece to do so. In addition to his shooting prowess, he's a Big Ten veteran.
He understands how difficult it is to play on the road, and the physicality of the league.
Goode played in ten games during the 22-23 season, so he might be able to acquire a medical hardship waiver. The Hoosiers have three scholarships available for the 24-25 season.
