Notre Dame freshman Carey Booth hears the whispers about this season’s low expectations. He, like the other Fighting Irish players, simply tunes it out. Notre Dame's players are using it as motivation under first-year coach Micah Shrewsberry. Last season, Shrewsberry led one of the nation's surprising turnarounds at Penn State.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame freshman Carey Booth hears the whispers about this season’s low expectations.said Booth, the highest-rated recruit of this year’s four freshmen. “It doesn’t matter to us what other people think we’re going to do. As a team, we want to win now.”The roster under new coach Micah Shrewsberry, hired away from Penn State in March, has the nation’s third-lowest percentage of returning scorers, 1.6%.
Shrewsberry also added three transfers, though none scored more than guard Julian Roper II at Northwestern. Last season, he presided over one of the most surprising turnarounds in the nation as the Nittany Lions went from 14-17 to 23-14 and a runner-up finish in the Big Ten Tournament. Notre Dame is about to find out if he can produce a similar result this season.“He probably gets treated worse than everybody else,” he said, referring to what he expects from his son. “If you know me, I’ve got a very short fuse. The fuse goes off a little bit quicker on him than others.
Burton played at nearby Penn High School. He’s the third Indiana Mr. Basketball to play for the Irish, joining Chris Thomas in 2001 and Luke Zeller in 2005.
