Former Penn State four-star recruit Miles Goodman may be moving on to a new program a little bit closer to home, but he will remain in the Big Ten. Goodman will reportedly be teaming up with the Oregon Ducks next season after committing to the Oregon program out of the transfer portal.
Goodman, did not play much in his freshman season with the Nittany Lions due to an injury at the start of the season. Goodman averaged 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds per game in his limited playing time for Penn State and head coach Mike Rhoades. The four-star recruit was a major recruiting victory for Rhoades in the Class of 2024, but Goodman will now embrace a bit of a fresh start with Oregon next season with hopes of playing to his full potential as a four-star recruit.
Goodman will likely start his time with the Ducks as a top back-up option for Oregon big man Nate Bittle, but he will also have three more years of eligibility at his disposal and a fourth year if he utilizes a redshirt season in Eugene. That could make for a good situation for the Washington native in the next few years.
Goodman is one of four players to leave Penn State through the transfer portal. Jahvin Carter, another good quality commitment, has landed with Memphis out of the transfer portal and two others- Hudson Ward and Joe Sedona- have yet to determine their next stops. Penn State has yet to add to the roster through the transfer portal at this time.
