Goods is another 2024 prospect in the state of North Carolina who’s continued to climb up the PH radar as he moves from No. 47 to No. 27 in the final rankings update. He’s gotten back to his usual ways with his presence in the Grimsley High frontcourt this season after a Sweet 16 finish in the NCHSAA State Playoffs. He put up 21.1 PPG, 13.6 RPG, 4.0 BPG, 2.1 APG and 1.4 SPG while shooting 60 percent from the field. He’s a sizeable forward at 6-foot-8 who’s shown he can hold his own on both ends of the floor in the painted area. He’s another name for D1 programs in the region to get eyes on.

Goods continues to show why he’s a top unsigned senior in the state and a double double machine, dropping 18 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks in the first round, then 28 points and 11 rebounds against Davie County in the second round. He’s a premier lob catcher, rim runner and physical post presence that helps protect the glass on both ends of the floor, as well as providing a spark offensively in the post and around the rim as a whole. His matchup with Steinour at Lake Norman tomorrow night will be one of the best big men battles we’ve seen all season in the state.

Goods is really putting together a great senior campaign, and should be making D1 and D2 coaches see that he is the “goods”. He had 20 points and 19 rebounds, continuing his 13 game double double streak as he is more physical, taller, and more aggressive on the offensive and defensive glass. Also a capable finisher and ball handler in transition, also good at cleaning up dump offs and loose balls around the basket.

Goods has been a solid addition to the Grimsley High rotation as they’re 11-3 heading into the bulk of Metro Conference action. They’re 5-0 in conference play already and have won six in a row with Goods producing 21.5 PPG, 13.7 RPG, 2.6 BPG, 1.9 APG and 1.2 SPG on 60 percent shooting from the floor. He had 15 points and 15 rebounds in their victory over Page High to lift Grimsley to victory. He’s managed to show flashes of his ability to stretch the floor on the perimeter (3-of-10 3-PT) but for now, he remains a double-double machine in the painted area. He’s racked up 11 double-doubles already and remains an efficient presence around the rim for DI and DII programs to take note of over with the Whirlies the next few months.

Goods remains a forward prospect in the 2024 class who continues to climb up the PrepHoops North Carolina radar. He’s a double-double machine due to infiltrate the NCHSAA ranks with offers from Western Carolina and Seton Hall heading into his senior season. He posted 17.4 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 2.2 APG, 1.8 BPG and 1.5 SPG as a junior at Piedmont Classical this past season. He’ll be a name to keep an eye on in the Grimsley High rotation this season.
