Adam: Active and aggressive, especially in the state of Indiana and the Midwest. In getting to know the staff, expect the Midwest to be a heavy emphasis. I was struck by a comment assistant coach Ryan "Ghost" Owens made when I visited with him. He said the staff would be committing recruiting malpractice if they didn't look for players in Indiana and the immediate surrounding states. Notre Dame has only one commitment for 2024 - guard Cole Certa from Bloomington, Illinois. Certa was solid during the summer evaluation period and will play his senior year at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. He's a player. I'd expect a few more to join him as Shrewsberry and his staff figure out who fits the Notre Dame recruit profile.

Tom: Give us your early impressions on the way Shrews is recruiting. He seems a little more active than the previous staff? Any thoughts on current commits?

Mark: We're all curious about that. Notre Dame was it was the last few years - the same guys were going to do the same things in the same ways. They were going to play slow, they weren't always going to rebound or defend and they were going to play it relatively safe to overcome some athletic deficiencies. Don't expect that blueprint to carry over with Micah Shrewsberry. He'll play more guys, regardless of position, play faster and demand that his guys dig in a little more on the defensive end (though we saw no defensive drills during Tuesday's media viewing window). Like in the past, expect Notre Dame to shoot A LOT of 3s. It's where the game is. It's not about pounding it down low with two bigs and hammering teams. It's wide-open, free flowing. In that regard, they should be fun to watch, even if the wins don't arrive as quickly as some want/expect.

Tom, thanks for doing this as always. How will the style of play change with Micah at the helm? Curious on the big differences if some are known at this point. Thanks!

How about some hoops? Yeah, it's the middle of July. yeah, Notre Dame football starts preseason camp in six days. But it's always a good time to circle back around to the Notre Dame men's basketball program, where the Micah Shrewsberry Era is live. Area media got a sneak peek at the program this week, and we're here to talk everything Irish hoops. To leave a question or comment, make sure you include your name and hometown. With that, you know the drill ... let's light this chat candle.
