I don’t think there’s enough talent on this roster to worry about blowing it up, and I didn’t see any thing during conference play that made me really feel like we need to give it another year.

This. We suck now. How could it really get worse?

Was hoping BC would be a favorite but can’t touch this game w/ two shitty teams. ND always plays horribly at BC & the Eagles always play above their heads when hosting ND. ND should win which means they will lose by 10.

No real money to be won taking either team so I took Pitt to upset SU. At the time, ND had a 9 pt lead so I thought, “Of course ND will win this and then Pitt will upset SU to keep them out of the tourney”. Now that ND blew it, I’m sure Pitt will get smoked.

We lose Towt. He’s not great, but he’s the only guy that plays with any physicality at all with the possible exception of Harrison.

This team is extremely soft.

This is irrelevant but play the what if game with me since the season is over.

What is their record with just Burton healthy?
What is their record with Burton healthy AND Tae Davis doesn’t transfer?

One of the worst seasons I can ever remember of ND basketball. This team literally just seemed to get worse as the season went on. I know, Burton got hurt...usually when your star player gets hurt, that means other players get better....They might not win as much...but other players get better...just didn't happen. Total loser mentality that just festered game after game...That's on the coach!

Looking back, I think this might’ve been the worst power conference job in America 3 years ago. It took a 7-year deal to get Shrews to come. The last 6 years of Brey were terrible (1 play in team), he killed the program (and it remains dead). The roster was the worst in almost all of D-1 consisting of Matt Zona - 1 player.

Shrewberry
Recruiting HS - B+, talent foundation is coming along better than I thought
In game - F
Portal - Incomplete, unless they’ve been trying -then F
Momentum - F
Development - Not enough good signs

I’m usually overly positive and he didn’t have to do much for me to be think he deserved all the time. But, he’s played his regime onto the hot seat for next year. It’s actually worth it to portal this year - there’s a roster now, (I think big game portal hunting the last few years would’ve been a waste of money) if it fails this upcoming cycle, yikes. If they have attrition - he’s cooked already.

For next year, like Sanderson. We will see what the Mongolian can do. Should be a good project. His other son is not a D1 guy at this point. Honestly, not the best player on his own team. In on some good guys for the following class.

Is there a coach coming with the Mongolian kid? Sure hope so. 🙄😂

I think we maybe win 5-7 more with those guys in.......10 or more wins with a coach that knows what he's actually doing.

If we bring back Shrews but lose any of Burton, Haralson, or Certa then what the hell are we doing here

Irish#1 · Sunday at 9:20 AM

Pete has some work to do.

Georgia Tech just fired Damon Stoudamire, who went 42-55 over three seasons with the Yellow Jackets.
Micah Shrewsberry is 41-56 in three seasons....

Keep Shrews thru the transfer portal period and see how he does. He absolutely has to keep most of his guys with eligibility.And add some talent especially at the post.If they leave anyway, then fire him.
Caveat: Garrity has to give him the money to match most offers. Otherwise no one good will want the job.

ND needs to keep these 3 or out of these 3 Burton and Haralson. If Certa stays, I'd consider starting Certa over Shrewsberry.

Get a 7 footer in the portal and if a big game that is a fit for this program and can help the program- show the $$$.

I remember when Brey got Anthony Solomon on staff- he helped the team win and get to the NCAA tournament; Shrews needs to add that type of coach to the staff.

This off season will be a test to see if the guys Shrewsberry recruited are loyal to him.

Henges24 · Sunday at 2:19 PM

Transfer portal is now only open for 15 days so if guys leave we will know beforehand or the day the portal opens. Things will move fast.

Opens the day after the NC game

The Mighty Bison of ND State are beating ND in our conference championship rn. Hope it holds.

Not even kidding, they play close to 10 cupcakes a year in Nov/Dec before conference play. So that gets you close to 30 on its own....

In seven years as a head coach at three schools, he's only had a winning record once.
