Notre Dame rumors: Shrewsberry staying and more transfers on the way?
There were rumors of Micah Shrewsberry leaving Notre Dame, but those have been shot down. However, with there are more transfers expected soon.
Notre Dame basketball lost two players to the transfer portal on Tuesday, which sparked some internet chatter that head coach Micah Shrewsberry could be leaving for the Butler job . None of that turned out to be true , as Tom Noie of NDInsider. com said on social media that a source told him “there is no dialogue with Butler, nothing behind the scenes with anyone from Butler.
” Most of this is due to the Irish having another difficult season, as they finished 13-18 overall, 4-14 in ACC play. In three season with Notre Dame, Shrewsberry has gone 93-135, with no NCAA Tournament bids with the highest ACC finish a tie for ninth in 2024-25. The magic he found at Penn State in 2022-23 seems like an eternity ago, as the struggles in South Bend have had some wondering if he’s the right man for the job.
Noie also goes on to state that Shrewsberry won’t be looking elsewhere for a while, and there could be more transfers coming. It is paramount for next season for the Irish to be able to retain Cole Certa and Jalen Haralson along with Markus Burton. Many of the other players didn’t contribute much, and you have to expect that if Micah is in South Bend, so will Braeden.
