Former Robert Morris<\/a> power forward DeSean Goode<\/a> has committed to transfer to Miami<\/a>, he announced Sunday evening on social media. He will have two years of eligibility remaining in Coral Gables.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-8, 230-pound Goode committed to the Hurricanes following an official visit to campus this weekend. Considered one of the most sought-after low-majors products in the portal, Goode was also being heavily recruited by Kansas<\/a>, Louisville<\/a>, and St. John\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Goode comes to Miami following a breakout sophomore season in which he was named the 2025-26 Horizon League Player of the Year after averaging 15.2 points and a team-leading 8.7 rebounds in 33 games for the Colonials. He also shot 62.9% from the floor and 57.1% from 3-point range last season.<\/p>\n

Goode is the third transfer commitment for second-year Hurricanes coach Jai Lucas<\/a>, following commitments from former Georgia<\/a> center Somoto Cyril<\/a> and former Villanova<\/a> point guard Acaden Lewis<\/a> last week. Goode was ranked as a four-star transfer, the No. 23 power forward in the 2026 class and No. 84 player overall, according to the On3 Transfer Portal Player Rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Year 1 of the\u00a0Jai Lucas\u00a0era at\u00a0Miami\u00a0marked a return to national relevance for the Hurricanes. Coming off a disastrous 7-24 campaign in 2024-25 under interim head coach\u00a0Bill Courtney<\/a>, Lucas completely flipped the Hurricanes\u2019 fortune in hardcourt with a 26-9 record that included a run to the second round of the 2026 NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I felt like this could be a special place. And that\u2019s why, when the job opened, I kind of did everything I could to get involved. I\u2019ll say it that way,\u201d Lucas said following\u00a0Miami\u2018s Round of 32 loss to\u00a0Purdue<\/a>. \u201cAnd then once I got to meet the people, once I got to meet (Athletic Director)\u00a0Dan\u00a0(Radakovich)\u00a0and (Senior Deputy Director of Athletics)\u00a0Brian (Baptiste)\u00a0and\u00a0Joe (Zagacki)\u00a0and the administration and the support system that we have at\u00a0Miami, it was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s the people that make places. We have good people at the university, and then we had great people in the building this year, with the players in the locker room and these three to the right of me. That made my job easy.\u201d<\/p>\n
