Sophomore swingman Cameron Biedscheid is the second player to leave the Notre Dame college basketball in as many days. Another domino falls in the Jerian Grant drama. Cam, a former McDonald’s All-American, is one of the highest rated recruits in not just the Mike Brey era, but the history of ND basketball in general.
Multiple outlets are reporting that Cameron Biedscheid, who was red-shirting this season to preserve a year of eligibility. He has requested a transfer. Things are all coming apart at the seams for Notre Dame basketball.
Mike Brey on conference call with the media just a few hours ago: “I (still) think the 5-year program is best for Cameron Biedscheid.”
“What’s best for the kid, what’s best for the team. I think the five-year program is best for Cam,” Brey continued.
Well, now we know why Biedscheid was to be “red-shirted,” and would stay “red-shirted” even with the injury to Jerian Grant. Maybe the 5 year program is best for Cam Biedscheid at another program.
It’s been a very rough year for “Chicago’s ACC Team,” with losses to Indiana State, North Dakota State and Saturday choking away a potential signature win versus #3 Ohio State in New York City. The Irish had the Buckeyes down 8 with 50 seconds to go. The Irish enter ACC play 8-4 with no resume non-conference victories.
Extremely disappointing, especially when you consider their preseason top 20 ranking.
