Double-double machine Goodrick signs with Siena

• Tasman Goodrick averaged a double-double with 15.6 points and 10.7 rebounds per game in sophomore season at Division II Gannon in Erie, Pa.
• Recorded season-high 29 points against Clarion and grabbed 20 rebounds against West Virginia State
• Goodrick entered the Transfer Portal and signed with Division I Siena Saints

Australian forward Tasman Goodrick established himself as a dominant interior presence for Gannon during his sophomore NCAA Division II season in 2024-25.

He finished second in double-doubles in the division.

The Times Union reports it took just five minutes for Saints assistant coach Ben Lee to make contact.

"It just showed me they were serious about me," Goodrick told the publication.

"They'd done their research and they'd found a player that suits their playing style and would help me out as well. So, it was just good to see."

"I’m really excited about Tassie,” Siena coach Gerry McNamara said.

"He has great versatility, is physical, and really skilled. At Gannon, Tassie was a double-double machine.

"His mobility separates him from a lot of guys his size. I still think there’s a ton of upside for him to grow, because he has a great shooting stroke to expand his game.

"Tassie is going to be a fun one to watch for us."

Goodrick played his Freshman season at Division I California Baptist with his brother Hunter before transferring to Division II Gannon in a bid to get more playing time.

Australian Background

Goodrick's journey from Sydney to the NCAA represents another success story in the pipeline of Australian basketball talent reaching American collegiate ranks.

He played at St. Joseph's College, Hunters Hill, Sydney and was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2021, earning a spot on the GPS 1st Team.

Standing at 206cm, Goodrick utilises his frame to establish position in the post, but also displays the mobility and court awareness that have become hallmarks of Australian forwards. His background in Sydney's competitive basketball scene prepared him well for the physical nature of college basketball, where he's thrived as an interior presence who can score efficiently and dominate the glass.

Sophomore Season Breakdown

Goodrick's sophomore campaign was marked by remarkable consistency and efficiency. Starting all 32 games, he averaged 15.6 points and 10.7 rebounds per game while shooting an outstanding 55.5% from the field. His ability to impact games went beyond scoring and rebounding, as he also contributed 32 blocks and 50 steals across the season.

February 15, 2025, showcased Goodrick at his offensive best when he exploded for a season-high 29 points against Clarion on 12-from-19 shooting. His rebounding prowess was on full display on January 2 against West Virginia State, where he pulled down an impressive 20 boards (nine offensive, 11 defensive) while also scoring 22 points.

Perhaps most impressive was Goodrick's consistency in producing double-doubles. He recorded double-digit rebounds in 20 of his 32 games while scoring in double figures 29 times. This consistency made him a reliable cornerstone for his team's game plan on both ends of the court.

All-Around Impact

While his scoring and rebounding numbers stand out, Goodrick's defensive contributions shouldn't be overlooked. His 32 blocks (1.0 per game) provided rim protection, while his 50 steals (1.6 per game) demonstrated active hands and good defensive anticipation unusual for a player his size.

Goodrick's offensive arsenal was primarily centred in the paint, where he converted high-percentage shots with regularity. Though not a three-point threat (making just 1-from-5 attempts all season), he showed development in his free throw shooting, connecting on 62.4% of his attempts from the charity stripe.

In the postseason, Goodrick elevated his game further, including a stellar 27-point, 11-rebound performance against East Stroudsburg on March 15. His ability to deliver in crucial moments showcased the mental toughness that complements his physical skills.

Future Outlook

Goodrick's trajectory suggests a player with significant upside and his next test will be in Division I.

His consistent improvement throughout his sophomore campaign points to a player still refining his game.

As he enters his junior season, basketball fans should expect continued growth from this Sydney-born forward who has already established himself as a double-double machine at the collegiate level.
