Notre Dame wing Ryder Frost plans to enter the @TransferPortal , his agents at @excelsm told @On3 .
The 6-7 freshman is a former 4⭐️ recruit and was regarded as one of the top shooters in the 2025 high school class. https://t. co/PSq92dUAiM pic.
twitter. com/E01eIsquA1 — Joe Tipton (@JoeTipton) March 25, 2026 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.
