Goode was the 2025-26 Horizon League Player of the Year after averaging 15.2 points per game on 62.9 percent from the field, 57.1 percent on three-point attempts, with 8.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6b\">Five-star freshman Caleb Gaskins, Goode and rising sophomore Shelton Henderson provide Miami with one of the best forward rotations nationally. Miami previously received commitments from Georgia center Somto Cyril and Villanova point guard Acaden Lewis.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6e\">Cyril, Goode and Lewis provide Miami with the <a href=\"https:\/\/caneswarning.com\/miami-transfer-class-moves-into-top-5-with-acaden-lewis-commitment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fifth-best transfer class<\/a> in the 247Sports rankings. Miami also returns starting shooting guard Dante Allen and expects to have forward Marcus Allen back after he missed most of the 2025-26 season receiving treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6h\">Goode is the 70th-ranked transfer and 18th PF in the 2026 portal by 247Sports. Miami will be the third program for Goode in as many years after he played his freshman season at IU-Indianapolis. Miami beat out Kansas, Louisville and St. John&#8217;s to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/miami-hurricanes\/news\/robert-morris-transfer-desean-goode-commits-to-miami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">earn the commitment from Goode<\/a> per On3.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEWS: Robert Morris transfer DeSean Goode has committed to Miami, sources tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/247Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@247Sports<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Averaged 15.2 PPG, 8.7 RPG and 1.4 APG this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vZNWLnjwFf\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/vZNWLnjwFf<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0D6tdSo11S\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/0D6tdSo11S<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Travis Branham (@TravisBranham_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TravisBranham_\/status\/2045985879554949609?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 19, 2026<\/a>Goode performance against power conferences<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6q\">Goode scored 11 points on four out of six from the field, made both of his three-point attempts and his only free throw with three rebounds and two assists in a 101-69 Robert Morris loss to Iowa in the season opener. Iowa lost in the 2026 NCAA Tournament South Regional Final.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6t\">Goode scored in double figures in 29 out of 33 games in 2025-26. In 13 games in 2025-26, Goode produced at least 10 rebounds. Miami gains an exceptionally versatile player who should be able to play with Gaskins when Henderson is out. At 6&#8217;8 and 230 pounds. Goode should also be able to provide minutes at center.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6w\">Jai Lucas and the Miami staff will <a href=\"https:\/\/caneswarning.com\/miami-hosting-promising-fiu-pf-eric-dibami-as-jai-lucas-continues-building-roster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">continue filling out the roster<\/a>. Expect Miami to add some unsigned high school prospects, international players and more transfers to fill out the 2026-27 roster. The top six for Miami should be among the best in the ACC in 2026-27.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow caneswarning.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=caneswarning.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miami earned its third transfer of the 2026 portal cycle with the addition of power forward Desean Goode&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-238375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
