The bad news for the Notre Dame basketball continues as Ryder Frost will be following Garrett Sundra and Sir Mohammed into the transfer portal.

Our football-fried minds are likely trained to tune out the number “three” as something small and replaceable — especially when it comes to non-starters. This is, however, most definitely NOT football, and that is probably some of the problem.

The South Bend Tribune’s Tom Noie recently wrote a blistering article which not only calls out the Notre Dame administration for not doing more for the basketball program, but he also lays out the bitterness that is still to come — soon.

When sophomores Sir Mohammed and Garrett Sundra and freshman Ryder Frost announced plans to enter the transfer portal, which opens April 7, it had little to do with a chance to make more money elsewhere as it did the chance to play more minutes elsewhere. Somewhere. Anywhere but here. 

The three, for myriad reasons, never became key rotation players in Shrewsberry’s system. Each leave for more opportunity on the basketball court. The next three expected to exit ― Markus Burton (a Michiana native), Cole Certa (Shrewsberry’s first recruit to Notre Dame) and Jalen Haralson (the highest-rated recruit in program history) ― will depart, in large part, to deepen their bank accounts. 

Noie is confident in his prediction of the departures, and anyone saying it would be a “gut punch” doesn’t know what it feels like to have your head smashed on a sticky basement floor. That is to say… the combination of those 6 departures is far worse than what you might be thinking, and even worse with the retention of Micah Shrewsberry.
