September 27, 20177 yr I am truly shocked at the recruiting the basketball program is going through...They better watch their backs! LOL This is a huge get. This program will definitely keep making noise come tourney time!
September 27, 20177 yr Man, who would have ever thought ND would have a MENS BASKETBALL recruiting class ranked #2 in the nation, #2 behind #1 Arizona. #2 ahed of #3 USC. And interestingly both of those schools are implicated in the big scandal as of yesterday. http://https://www.rockmnation.com/2017/9/27/16372434/missouri-tigers-ncaa-chuck-person-recruiting-bribery-scandal
September 27, 20177 yr Great get to finish the class. ND basketball is elite. Amazing! It seems like playing in the ACC and proving they belong has been a boon to ND recruiting.
September 27, 20177 yr Those 4 recruits along with Harvey take the Irish to a final 4! Don't forget the uconn transfer juwan Durham that will be in Harvey's class. He will be an important piece in the middle. They will have many strong elements if all of these guys pan out. I just hope they will have quick enough defenders on the perimeter. I really wanted muhammed for that reason.

I think you see quick defenders in Pflueger (2 more years), Gibbs (3 more), Hubb (in that class), and then I wouldn't necessarily underrate Carmody or Goodwin as defenders. I've heard many people compare Carmody to Vasturia as a defender. Will also be interesting to see what they do for the 2019 class.

I was talking specifically about this recruiting class and Harvey's class and I'm talking about guys that are going to put pressure on and turn the ball over. That team that had the first elite eight run was one of the top 4 teams in the country by the end of the year. One reason why was Jackson and grants pressure d on top notch opposing guards. I saw Muhammed as one of those type of players. Having he and hub sitting on the perimeter could have been deadly for opposing guards.
September 28, 20177 yr I was wondering when we were finally going to start recruiting well in basketball. Multiple elite 8's, ACC champs, winning really does cure everything.

Just throwing out that this team's best run could be Gibbs senior year when you have a lineup of Gibbs/Hubb, Goodwin/Carmody, Harvey/Diogo, Las/Mooney, Durham/Burns etc. That team has a chance to be special with the 2018 class in its second year. I think you can still see that, for example, with Gibbs, Hubb and Harvey. It's not all gonna come from one class.

Great get to finish the class. ND basketball is elite.
