Notre Dame basketball is alive and on the come under head coach Micah Shrewsberry.

After a slow start to the 2023-24 season, Notre Dame closed by winning six of its final 10 games against ACC teams and showed growth as the calendar flipped to 2024.

On Notre Dame's first day of practice for the 2024-25 season, it got fantastic news on the recruiting front by landing the highest rated player in the rankings era, per 247Sports.
