Luke Goode’s request for a fifth-year has been denied, bringing an end to his college basketball career.
The Fort Wayne, Ind. product made an Instagram post on Tuesday afternoon signaling the result of his waiver request.
“Thank you God for the journey through highs and lows,” he wrote. “Can’t wait for what’s next!”
Goode confirmed with The Daily Hoosier his request was denied. In March following Indiana’s loss to Oregon in the Big Ten Tournament, he said the wheels were in motion to try to get one more year in Bloomington.
“I love this place and grew up dreaming to play for this program. So I would love nothing more than to represent the school again,” he said at the time.
The 6-foot-7 Goode averaged a career-high 9.1 points per game for IU this past season while shooting 39.2% from three. It was his lone season with the program he rooted for as a child. Goode’s father Craig, and uncle, former IU quarterback Trent Green, played football for the Hoosiers.
Goode started his college career at Illinois, where he played three seasons. He only played in 10 games during his 2022-23 sophomore year due to an injury. That created the opening for the waiver request that was ultimately denied.
Indiana currently has 12 scholarship players on its 2025-26 roster.
