Is Notre Dame on track for improvement in 2023.
There was so much board discussion when Rockwell was announced as the new coach. I realize it's a rebuilding project, but do any ND followers have thoughts on where things stand? They're on a 7-match losing streak. Will there be significant improvement in '23?

It's hard to see them being any worse. Oh, and with their loss last night to N.C. State (0-3), it's an eight match losing streak. With Louisville coming up on Wednesday, make that a nine match losing streak. If they beat Virginia Tech (should be favored) they will end the season at 10-18. |

I was thinking about this as well. They do have verbals from a solid '24 class. Will they make an immediate impact or will it be a year or two? With the portal, you never know what rosters will look like on a yearly basis. Is ND looking at '25 or '26 before they'd see a significant upturn?

They only lost their setter, 90% of their offense (all of which could have returned) and recruit Eva Hudson, then hired Rockwell fairly deep into the transfer portal window. Pretty hard to imagine a tougher situation first year, but she knew that coming in. |

Pretty hard to imagine a tougher situation first year, but she knew that coming in. They also started in a 6-2 and lost one of their setters to a season-ending injury. And their CURRENT setter was hitting for those three rotations, so that also cost them an attacker. The Irish will be very good soon enough. |

Does the transfer portal matter with Notre Dame? Given their academic reputation, would that sort of thing be permitted by administrators or will recruiting focus on finding kids to keep all four years and/or graduate school transfers?

Could be grad transfers. I don't know. |

I don't think they have Stanford like restrictions, but I assume they take academics into account to some degree. Ideally you want students who are no more than one standard deviation from the norm wrt standardized test scores (ACT, SAT); otherwise it is likely they will struggle academically. |

Ideally you want students who are no more than one standard deviation from the norm wrt standardized test scores (ACT, SAT); otherwise it is likely they will struggle academically. I think that's absolutely correct -- at least for football and basketball. For those two sports, restrictions have been applied very . . . . flexibly. I don't know about WVB, but if Salima didn't extract some concessions comparable to FB and BB, then she took the position knowing the problems she would face. |

FYI: I didn't ask the original question with any critical intent.
I just don't get to see any ND VB and hadn't heard much. So I appreciate the detail in the posts so far.

I have heard that transfers are very difficult for ND.That would definitely slow down a rebuild. |

Yes, undergraduate transfers are very difficult for Notre Dame in all sports, including football. On the other hand, Notre Dame is a very attractive destination for graduate transfers. I'll be interested in whether Rockwell can find a MB to help out Tarnoff in 2023... or maybe Winkler has a COVID year she can use...

ND actually did just get an undergrad transfer from high point. A sophomore OH.
