It is truly an understatement to call this a momentous day for a program that has been helmed by the same man for 23 seasons...23!!! https://twitter.com/tnoieNDI/status/1616181539007512577?s=20&t=rQUxYtVmnje2vZF1aoBYAA My reaction to the news was and still is fairly [...]

The Irish hoops staff strikes again as guard Parker Friedrichsen committed to Notre Dame on Tuesday afternoon.

Mike Brey and the Notre Dame coaching staff capped off their 2022 recruiting class with a bang on Tuesday, securing the commitment of power forward Ven-Allen Lubin. A bit of a late-riser, the 6'8" forward out of Orlando saw his recruitment take off this summer with a series of high-major offers. He seemed to impress [...]

Listen. It's been a rough couple of years for Mike Brey and company. You could be forgiven for thinking this past March that things were approaching an ugly end for Brey's tenure in South Bend. But my how things are changing. A reenergized Brey, reconfigured coaching staff, and renewed roster, featuring a much-hyped graduate [...]

I think everyone is excited for the college hoops season to kick off in the next couple of weeks.

Blake Wesley, a 6'4" shooting guard at Riley High School in [...]

Mike Brey and his Irish staff are suddenly on fire on the recruiting trail.

So it's been quite a week for this Irish hoops program, hasn't it?

For the second time in as many official visit weekends, Notre Dame hoops has scored a commitment to its 2020 class.

At long last, the Irish have secured their first commitment in the 2020 class in Philadelphia power forward Elijah Taylor.

It is quite well-documented that it has been a minute since Notre Dame hoops has landed a commitment from a high school recruit. That unfortunate streak came to an end over the weekend, as local standout J.R. Konieczny pledged his commitment to the Irish. Konieczny, now a junior at nearby St. Joseph High School in [...]

After one of the poorest seasons of the Mike Brey era, an empty recruiting class, and a few eyebrow-raising recruiting misses, it just feels like Notre Dame hoops needed a win. They earned a significant one on Friday night when Stanford transfer Cormac Ryan announced that he had committed to Notre Dame following a campus [...]

After a thrilling comeback Wednesday night to keep their tournament hopes alive, Notre Dame ran into a buzzsaw on Thursday night.
