BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana officially announced Tuesday that Illinois transfer wing Luke Goode will join the Hoosiers for the 2024-25 season.

“Luke is a knockdown 3-point shooter that provides length and rebounding ability from the wing position," Indiana coach Mike Woodson said. "He comes from a very athletic background with deep family ties to this University. He has competed at the highest level of the Big Ten and is a player we will count on to help us stretch the floor. We are excited to bring his family back to Hoosier Nation.”

Goode represents Indiana's fourth transfer portal addition of the offseason and fifth overall newcomer. Along with incoming five-star freshman Bryson Tucker, Indiana added transfer guard Myles Rice (Washington State), center Oumar Ballo (Arizona) and guard Kanaan Carlyle (Stanford). Indiana still has two open scholarships heading into the 2024-25 season, and it returns Trey Galloway, Anthony Leal, Malik Reneau, Mackenzie Mgbako, Gabe Cupps and Jakai Newton.
