Irish Have a Good Shot at Transfer Martin - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**Granger Irish** · 05-12-2008, 12:12 PM

According to the article I am going to post, it looks like we could get a second basketball transfer in forward Scott Martin. Martin played laast season at Purdue.

According to the following article I am going to post, Martin had a good visit to Notre Dame. I think we have a good chance for him.

Men's Basketball: Martin finds a lot to like in Irish

May 11, 2008

BY MICHAEL OSIPOFF Post-Tribune staff writer

Scott Martin's official visit to Notre Dame kept the Irish very much in the mix as a possible college destination for the Valparaiso High graduate.
He was in South Bend on Wednesday and Thursday, spending time with the coaches and players, having dinner and attending academic meetings.

What stood out to Martin, whose transfer from Purdue was announced on April 9 after his freshman season with the Boilermakers, at Notre Dame?

On the players, who include Andrean grad Luke Harangody, Martin's former AAU teammate with SYF Players who was an All-American and the Big East Player of the Year this past season: "One of the most important things is the guys on the team, and I really liked them. Hanging around with them, I had a really good time."

On the education: "The degree you get from Notre Dame is a good degree, obviously. That's very important."

On coach Mike Brey: "I really like him. He's a great guy, a great person. He cares about his players a lot. I have a lot of respect for him."

Martin has an official visit -- five is the maximum number allowed -- scheduled with Valparaiso University for Tuesday. He was planning to return a phone call to set one up with Butler. Martin also was considering making an official visit to DePaul.

"Those three (Notre Dame, Valparaiso and Butler) are the leaders, but I'm still talking to other schools," Martin said. "I haven't narrowed it down.

"It all depends," he added when asked if he expected to go on all five official visits. "I'm going to take all the visits I need to take to feel comfortable making a decision."

is he good?

he's good, but he's from Valparaiso. I see him going to Valpo. Having Luke Harangody there won't make a difference considering his high school teammate Robbie Hummel was a fellow freshman at Purdue this year.

here are Martin's stats for his freshman season

Min per game - 21.9

Points per game - 8.5

Reb per game - 3.8

assist per game - 1.7

blocks per game - 0.7

steals per game - 1.0

FG% .373

FT% .696
