Goode has been at the top of our list for the power forward position all offseason. The 4-star transfer is coming off a dominant season with Robert Morris, where he earned All-First Team in the conference and won the Horizon Player of the Year award.
The 6-foot-8, 210-pound forward averaged 15.2 points and 8.7 rebounds after his 287 rebounds, and 62.9 shooting field goal percentage led the conference. He splashed 36 3’s while shooting 57 percent from beyond the arc, and emerged as a perfect target to be Kelsey’s stretch four.
Louisville hosted Goode for a visit later last week, and shortly after, he went straight to Miami, where he ultimately committed to Kentucky over Louisville, Kansas, and others. Goode ranks No. 70 in the Transfer Portal and No. 18 among power forwards.

A big reason why Goode might have committed to Miami over Louisville is that the Cardinals are trending with 4-star transfer Alvaro Folgueiras. The Cardinals have been expected to land the Iowa transfer for a few days, and some believe the commitment announcement is coming sooner rather than later.
Nothing official has been announced, but On3 Sports is very confident Louisville will land the 4-star, giving the Cardinals a 100 percent chance of earning the commitment. The 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward is exactly what Louisville needs, as he is a stretch-four who can space out the floor for Flory Bidunga.
Folgueiras has made 101 3’s in his career so far, including a career high 45 while shooting 41.3 percent from beyond the arc in his sophomore season with Robert Morris. He is ranked as high as No. 13 among power forwards and No. 54 overall after his lone season with Iowa.
