<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We interrupt your Notre Dame football reading for Irish hoops, which had an hour-plus open practice today. Mike Brey said it best: "We've never had to rely on this many freshmen in my 19 years here." <br><br>That reality will have its down moments, but the group can shoot it. Big time.</p>— Pete Sampson (@PeteSampson_) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteSampson_/status/1026169342831079424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">And that should only be enhanced on Sept. 1 when Prentiss Hubb is medically cleared (ACL). It won't be a surprise if he starts at some point this year. With Robby Carmody, Dane Goodwin and Nate Laszewski all higher-end shooters, it's a very Brey-esque group in skill set.</p>— Pete Sampson (@PeteSampson_) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteSampson_/status/1026169344508801024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">First look at Juwan Durham today too, the 6-foot-11 transfer from UConn. Still finding his way within the offense, but if his role is simply to rim protect and get rebounds, there's a lot of value there. Irish have lacked length lately.</p>— Pete Sampson (@PeteSampson_) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteSampson_/status/1026169345897103361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Most improved is forward Elijah Burns, by a wide margin. At the end of last season it was a question if he'd transfer. Now he's got a chance to be 20-minute junkyard in the front court. Brey joked that Burns was a wanted man at Culver, meaning with football. He's that thick.</p>— Pete Sampson (@PeteSampson_) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteSampson_/status/1026169347394416647?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sunday's practice precedes Notre Dame's week-long trip to the Bahamas. Should be a valuable three-game visit. Beyond TJ Gibbs and Rex Pflueger, almost every role feels open. Regardless, this roster feels more typical Brey than last year. Shooters, movement and shooters.</p>— Pete Sampson (@PeteSampson_) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteSampson_/status/1026169348912758784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
