SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) – It’s the middle of the offseason for college basketball teams, but the Notre Dame men are on campus getting ready for next season.
The media was invited to come watch practice on Monday, as this Irish team has several new faces on its roster.
Missing from Monday’s practice was Markus Burton, who was out with the flu. He joined freshman Jalen Haralson, sophomore Sir Mohammed, junior Braeden Shrewsberry and freshman Tommy Ahneman who were out today with ailments/injuries.
In their place, the Irish still had about seven scholarship players out on the floor, and some of the new faces were standing out as ND added four freshmen and one transfer this offseason.
“I know it was a pretty fluid transition with all the dudes. They’re all just great dudes. Great staff. It’s a big family vibe here,” says Notre Dame senior forward Carson Towt. “All my people back home ask me how it is out here and how’s it going. I’m like ‘Dude, it’s just a big family.’ It’s a big family who works hard and we have fun doing it. We’ve got a vision and we’re going to go execute it.”
“I think Coach Shrews did a good job recruiting some good guys that come in and they know what they’re doing,” adds Notre Dame senior forward Kebba Njie. “They’re very quick learners, so the way we’re playing right now it’s easy for them to adapt and get adjusted to what we’re doing.”
The Notre Dame men’s basketball team begins regular season play in early November.
