Notre Dame basketball fans have become accustomed to head coach Mike Brey’s long-term mantra of always having older, usually senior-led teams. Brey has made a point of recruiting players he believes can mature and grow by sitting the bench for year or two and learning from the guys above them.
But Brey has never had a recruiting class like this one during his tenure at Notre Dame — not even close. This Notre Dame freshman class is outstanding and to write them off this early — as I have seen many fans do — is ridiculous.
