Prospect Spotlight: Luke Goode (2021)
Luke Goode – 6’4” | G | Spiece Indy Heat 2021 | Homestead High School
Luke Goode has exploded onto the Fort Wayne basketball scene as a freshman at Homestead High School. Goode already finds himself in the starting lineup and is an impact player from the tip. Luke plays his AAU ball in the Spiece Indy Heat program. He brings length, sharp-shooting, and a high basketball IQ to the table.
“This year we have lost a few close games that have come down to the end. As a team, we are getting better every day and those tough losses will help us grow as a team. A goal we have is to win the SAC.” Homestead won their first-round game against the Carroll Chargers and are looking to continue their recent hot streak through the tournament.
Luke has hit the ground running in his high school career with the Spartans. Standing 6’4”, he can get his shot off under-duress and has shown improvement in his finishing ability around the rim. He’s more comfortable putting the ball on the floor than he was this past summer and is making great strides with his offensive skill set. “I need to work on my on-ball defense, consistency, and getting to the rim.”
Goode is known for being able to stretch the floor with the long ball but has started to use that to his advantage by getting into the lane. The defense closes out hard when he catches the ball and he’s begun to use fakes and timing to get defenders off balance.
He is also good on the defensive end with his length. Luke gets into passing lanes frequently and disrupts opposing guards in the half court. As he continues to learn and grow with experience, he will be a player that takes off in the recruiting scene. Luke has all the necessary pieces to be a four-year starter at Homestead and have an outstanding high school career. Not only is he an asset on both ends of the floor, he is truly out there to help the team win in any way possible.
“I work hard on my game, day in and day out. I will do whatever it takes to make the team successful.”
Keep an eye on Luke Goode as he establishes himself as one of the best players in the talented Class of 2021.
