Notre Dame is entering a pivotal offseason for head men’s basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry‘s program.

In a year the Irish were expected to take a significant step from their 13-20 (7-13 Atlantic Coast Conference) record in Shrewsberry’s first season, they did not. Instead, they finished 15-18 (8-12 ACC). They suffered slumps such as a five-game losing streak, a four-game losing streak and seven losses in nine games, and they enter Year 3 under Shrewsberry with more questions than answers.

Here is Notre Dame’s scholarship chart for the 2025-26 season. As a reminder, teams are expected to have 15 roster spots available — all of which can be used on scholarship players — as a result of the House Settlement that is expected to be finalized in April.

Blue & Gold’s initial thoughts

Notre Dame’s first order of business should be retaining Burton and Davis, who led the team with 21.3 and 15.1 points per game, respectively. Shrewsberry’s model is built on acquiring talent out of high school (or, in Davis’ case, after one year of college), retaining it and developing it. The Irish need to keep their two most productive players and attempt to rebuild around them.

Third in points per game for the Irish was Braeden Shrewsberry, at 14.0. While most everyone is a transfer risk in college basketball in 2025, the head coach’s son is probably an exception.

First and foremost, the Irish need to add to their front court with a legitimate starter in the post. Ideally, this player will be able to shoot threes, given the likelihood of three shot-creators in the starting lineup with Burton, Davis (if they return) and Haralson. However, post scoring should be the No. 1 priority.

Notre Dame also needs a guard to play with Burton and Haralson, ideally knocking Shrewsberry down to a sixth man role (where he’s been more effective and efficient in his college career). But realistically, the Irish just need more talent and depth, which they lacked this past season.

The incoming recruiting class, which ranks 12th in the country, will help. But at least in Year 1, it won’t fix everything by itself.
