1 year at Seton Hall.

There’s certainly nothing that would indicate that he would not be on track to graduate having done one year at a good Catholic school. I suspect his classes checked out just fine. At the end of the day, that’s what Notre Dame cares about.

It’s not like Brey didn’t have undergrad transfers. Cormac from Stanford should have been easy. Wertz, Martin and Durham were probably straight forward. Plenty of others. Of course Ben Hansbrough from MSU strikes me as one of the schools that may not have been so simple.

Northwestern is another easy call with Roper. The Penn State boys fairly straightforward as well. I just don’t think admissions was or would have been a too terribly difficult obstacle for Brey if there was desire on his part to bring in the kind of players that Shrews has landed.

Consistent recruiting was always Brey’s problem. And when he looked for transfers it was always for fairly proven talent and/or high upside to fill his gaps.
