Yes, they're terrible this year. but the biggest concern for recruits is that the coach will leave. That isn't happening. The staff isn't changing. They have a nice freshman class and, most importantly, a point guard who looks like he will be a good one. Mooney has one more year left and Durham can complement a guy like Mitchell. I agree that Mitchell probably won't come, but it would be a very good situation for a player looking to play a lot as a freshman. I suspect Mitchell will be a better player than a couple more highly-rated guys ND was recruiting in addition to him.
