It’s going to be a big junior year for Notre Dame forward [autotag]Tae Davis[/autotag] if his head coach [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] is correct.
The 6-foot, 9-inch and 208-pound front court player had a very good first year with the Irish after transferring from Seton Hall last year. Davis averaged 9.2 points and 5.1 rebounds last year, but that doesn’t tell the whole story about his impact for the Notre Dame basketball team.
Shrewsberry believes that Davis is one of the best defenders in the county, as he told CBS Sports Jon Rothstein. Not only that, the reporter believes that the Irish could make the NCAA Tournament this spring.
This will be a very important season for Notre Dame basketball, as Shrewsberry enters his second season at the helm after going 13-20 last year. If we see a jump like he had at Penn State from the first to the second season, the Irish should be dancing in March with an elite defender in Davis.
