Notre Dame Men's Basketball and Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry have their hands full this offseason following the departure of six players to the transfer portal and just eight players on the roster heading into the portal's opening on April 7th. Keep track of all the latest news and rumors from what will be a chaotic cycle below:
Incoming Transfers:
Notre Dame can add up to seven transfers this cycle. We will keep you updated with the latest news here.
Transfer Outs:
Sir Mohammed
Notre Dame’s first intended portal entry comes from the sophomore guard and son of former NBA PF Nazr Mohammed. The North Carolina native announced his intentions to enter the portal on March 24th. This season, Mohammed played in all 31 games with five starts, averaging 16.3 minutes per game. In his time on the court, Mohammed averaged 5.7 ppg (42% FG%), 2.6 rpg, 1.5 apg, and 0.5 spg. As a former top four-star recruit with NBA bloodlines, Sir unfortunately was unable to develop into the player fans were hoping for during his time in South Bend. Mohammed has two years of eligibility remaining.
Garrett Sundra
Just hours after Mohammed’s announcement, the sophomore forward announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal on the 24th. Sundra played in all 31 games this season with 16 starts, averaging 17.9 minutes per game. The Virginia native averaged 3.5 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 0.5 apg, 0.4 bpg, and 0.2 spg this year. Sundra entered Notre Dame as a three-star recruit and now leaves with two years of eligibility remaining. For the Irish, losing size is not ideal, but he rarely looked comfortable on the court in Coach Shrewsberry’s system. I believe Sundra could become a very solid player in the right situation as he has flashed some offensive promise, but this loss ranks near the bottom for Notre Dame.Â
Ryder Frost
One day after Mohammed and Sundra announced their decisions, the freshman forward declared his intentions to enter the transfer portal on March 25th. Frost appeared in 26 games this season, averaging 6.2 minutes per game. In his limited playing time, he averaged 2.7 ppg (38.5% 3FG%), 0.8 rpg, and 0.2 apg. A former four-star recruit out of New Hampshire, there is not much to write home about regarding Frost. However, I personally really like his offensive potential and, deservedly, should have plenty of suitors in the portal.Â
Jalen Haralson
After a fairly quiet week around the program, with the only relevant news being the return of freshman forward Brady Koehler, the Irish took, arguably, their biggest portal loss on April 2nd. Haralson, a freshman guard, officially declared his intentions to transfer with the portal’s opening less than a week away. Haralson made 23 starts in 27 appearances, averaging 26.6 minutes per game as the offensive leader following Markus Burton’s season-ending injury. The former consensus five-star recruit averaged 16.2 ppg (51.5% FG%), 4 rpg, 2.6 apg, 0.5 spg, and 0.3 bpg. In a season marked by fantastic freshmen across the country, the Irish’s star was just one of six in a power conference to average at least 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. Additionally, his 16.2 ppg were the 4th-most by a freshman in Notre Dame history, and his 2.6 apg led the team when Burton was out with injury. Haralson still stands as the highest-rated prospect to commit to Notre Dame in the modern history of the program as he was the top-ranked prospect in Indiana. According to South Bend Tribune Journalist Tom Noie, Notre Dame was unable to meet the financial threshold to retain Haralson as the Irish continue to struggle in this NIL era. Expect Haralson to be highly sought after by nearly every major program, with a substantial pay raise on the way for the potential future NBA player with three years of eligibility remaining.
Markus Burton
The Irish lost their hometown boy on April 4th, when the junior guard posted a short but thoughtful message to his Instagram story thanking Notre Dame while announcing his intentions to enter the transfer portal. Coming out of Penn High School in Mishawaka, less than six miles from South Bend, Burton was questionably underrecruited despite being named 2023 Indiana Mr. Basketball as a three-star prospect. Despite being undersized, Burton burst right onto the scene in his freshman season. In his first year, the guard’s 17.5 ppg and 2.2 spg led all ACC freshmen, earning ACC Rookie of the Year and an All-ACC Third Team selection. Burton was the only freshman in the country to average at least 17 points, 4 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. The Irish star topped these efforts in his sophomore season when his 21.3 ppg ranked 5th nationally, while his 23.5 ppg against ACC opponents led the conference. He was controversially named to the All-ACC Second Team despite leading the conference in scoring. Entering his junior season at Notre Dame, Burton was a preseason All-ACC First Team selection with expectations having risen for the Irish. Unfortunately, the star guard suffered a left ankle injury in the team’s 10th game this past season that required surgery and ultimately forced him to miss the remainder of the year. While playing 30.1 minutes per game with 10 starts, Burton averaged 18.5 ppg (48.9 FG% & 91.7 FT% - career-highs), 3.7 apg, 2.8 rpg, and 1.6 spg. After sticking it out for three ‘down’ seasons when he could have easily transferred after his freshman and sophomore campaigns, Notre Dame now loses their best offensive and, arguably, defensive player. Like Haralson, Burton should have his pick of the litter in the portal and expect a well-deserved payday with two years of eligibility remaining pending a medical waiver.
Cole Certa
The final entrant into this offseason’s portal from Notre Dame comes from the Irish’s "Certafied" shooter who announced his intentions to leave the program on April 6th. Certa enters the portal with two years of eligibility remaining following a breakout 2026 campaign. The sophomore guard averaged 26.8 minutes per game, appearing in all 31 contests with 16 starts. Certa averaged 12.8 ppg (36.7% 3FG% & 89.2% FT%), 1.7 rpg, 0.8 apg, and 0.4 spg while ending the season on a nine-game streak of 10-plus point outings. The former four-star recruit out of Illinois entered the transfer portal with a do-not-contact tag, likely meaning a future home has been decided. Certa’s high-level shooting mixed with underrated defensive play should be valued at a premium in the portal as he will land at a top program.
