Notre Dame basketball officially signs it’s 2024 recruiting class

Thoughts on the Irish 2024 basketball recruiting class?

It is officially signing day for the 2024 recruiting cycle and today [autotag]Notre Dame basketball[/autotag] signed three players to its class.

This is the first recruiting class for new Irish head coach [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag], setting a standard as to what to expect on the recruiting trail going forward. Today was the first time that Notre Dame could officially speak about the players, as they are now members of the Irish hoops team.

Find out below each of the signees, where the team ranked nationally, and what Shrewsberry had to say following the players joining the Notre Dame family.

(Note: All recruiting rankings are according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.)

Four-star combo guard recruit Sir Mohammed commits to Notre Dame

Another addition to the 2024 recruiting class.

[autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag]’s team of the future is picking up steam. Two days before 2024 four-star combo guard recruit [autotag]Sir Mohammed[/autotag] was set to announce his college pick, 2024 four-star forward [autotag]Garrett Sundra[/autotag] committed to Notre Dame. Now, you can add Mohammed to the Irish’s 2024 recruiting class. Mohammed announced his commitment during the Elite 24 showcase in Atlanta:

Needless to say, Shrewsberry had to celebrate everything that had transpired of late:

Mohammed, the son of former NBA player Nazr Mohammed, ranks fourth among 2024 recruits from North Carolina on 247Sports. He visited Notre Dame on June 18 and also took official visits to Virginia Tech, Marquette and Stanford. With this announcement, three of North Carolina’s top four 2024 recruits have committed to ACC programs. Drake Powell has picked North Carolina, Isaiah Evans is headed for Duke, and Jayden Quaintance has not yet made his decision.

Mohammed, who joins Sundra and [autotag]Cole Certa[/autotag] in the Irish’s 2024 recruiting class, has put up solid numbers for Myers Park in Charlotte. In three seasons on the varsity squad, he has averaged 14.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.7 steals a game. That’s the type of production the Irish will take, and here’s hoping that translates at the college level.

Notre Dame lands commitment from 2024 forward recruit Garrett Sundra

Nice get.

Notre Dame has been lacking impact players down low for some time now. Sure, there’s been some talent there, but none of it has been good enough to build the lineup around. Might that change with 6-foot-10 power forward [autotag]Garrett Sundra[/autotag]? We soon will get an answer to that question after Sundra committed to the Irish:

Per 247Sports, Sundra is a four-star recruit and the fourth-best player out of Virginia in the 2024 class. Sundra made his official visit to Notre Dame on Aug. 1. In fact, it was the only official visit he made to any school. That was bad news for the others interested in him, including Butler, Providence, Seton Hall, Virginia Tech, Miami, Maryland and Iowa.

[autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] still has a long way to go in building the team he wants. [autotag]Cole Certa[/autotag] is the only other 2024 commit he currently has, and that’s not counting all the inexperience on this coming season’s roster. The Irish eventually will get to where they want to be, but it’s going to require time and patience. Hopefully, everybody understands that.

4-star power forward Garrett Sundra commits to Notre Dame hoops

Today, Notre Dame joined the group by adding one of their own.

The summer months were quiet, but basketball recruiting is beginning to pick up again as we approach fall. Over the last few days, Missouri and USC have secured commitments from four-star recruits in the class of 2024. Today, Notre Dame joined the group by adding one of their own.

Here’s how Paul VI Catholic (Va.) four-star power forward Garrett Sundra announced his commitment to the Fighting Irish earlier today.

 

Sundra is billed as a versatile big man with a soft touch, per Adam Finkelstein’s scouting report.

“Sundra’s ability to stretch the floor, pass the basketball, pick-and-pop, and potential to be an inside-out scoring threat as he develops his body and gets more assertive, should be an ideal fit. He has all the necessary tools and skills to develop into the type of modern day, versatile big man that Shrewsberry values and wants to deploy at Notre Dame.”

Sundra had offers from 14 other programs, including Butler, Maryland, Miami, Rhode Island, Seton Hall and Villanova. Going by the 247Sports composite rankings, Sundra is No. 90 nationally, No. 17 at his position and No. 4 overall in the state of Virginia.

That makes two hard commits for Notre Dame’s class of 2024. The other is IMG Academy (Fla.) four-star shooting guard Cole Certa.

Penn State basketball recruiting 2024 3-star from Virginia

Penn State basketball looking to recruit three-star player from Virginia

It’s no secret that the success of basketball teams is built on the recruiting trail.

Talent wins in any sport, but it’s even more obvious in basketball at the high major level. It’s something that Penn State had struggled with over the years despite their close proximity to the hotbeds of Philadelphia, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia.

Since head coach [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] took over, his staff has been attacking the recruiting trail hard. They secured the highest rated class in program history in 2022. That was followed up by getting the second highest rated recruit in program history with the commitment of [autotag]Carey Booth[/autotag] from the 2023 class.

With that class being set, the attention has turned to 2024.

There are currently no commitments from any player in that class, however, there are certainly some targets.

One of those is a 6’11” big man from Fairfax, Virginia. [autotag]Garrett Sundra[/autotag] cracked the Top 150 of On3’s database and has garnered attention from programs across the country.

The 6’11” big man is a stretch forward who is great at shooting the ball. He also has a polished skill set with his back to the basket.

One of the reasons why he’s interested in Penn State is because of the emphasis that is put on shooting the ball.

He recently told On3’s Jamie Shaw, “they’ve been having a really good season so far; they’re playing really well. They shoot the ball well as a team and emphasis that.”

Sundra currently holds an offer from Penn State and nine other schools.

He’s taken one official visit so far and that was to Butler. It seems right now that they are the leaders in the clubhouse to sign Sundra, but it’s still early in the process.

Penn State is in communication with him to officially have him visit the campus and program.

Sundra would be a big get for Penn State as he continues to climb recruiting boards and has increased his overall level of play.
