Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2673738, member: 4946"] Well, ND winning the Championship certainly couldn't have hurt. I continue to believe ND is in good position with Brunelle as I did before the Final Four. We know that Brunelle is tight with Bueckers and Fudd. So I'm optimistic. These days (see Brown, Jenna and Collier, Charli), I'm not counting my metaphorical chickens until signing day. So who knows. I think ND is kind of in a sweet spot with respect to 2019 recruiting. Mabrey, Ogunbowale, Shepard, and Turner are gone after next year. So there will be the opportunity to get immediate minutes. On the other hand, Young, Vaughn, Patterson, Gilbert, and Nixon will be there and Peoples is already committed. So it's not as if the cupboard will be bare. An elite 2019 recruit could reasonably expect to be a rotation player on a pretty good team as a freshman. [/QUOTE]
