ND will cut Shrews loose, I hope he reconsiders a number of things the second half of the season and this off-season. I hope the offense is completely revamped. I hope he focuses recruiting more on signing good athletes. Perhaps most importantly, I hope the Prez, the AD, Pat Garrity and Shrews get together and conclude that ND will not be competitive in basketball if it neglects the Portal. Shaka Smart and Marquette have gone down this same road and are posting similarly awful results. Against good opponents, the disparity in strength/brawn and athleticism is striking. This is like going back to the MacLeod days, except those guys were better-coached, if even less talented.
