ACC Basketball: Ranking the 2017 Recruiting Classes
By Alec Lasley
No. 10 Notre Dame (1 Commit)
The Fighting Irish received great news after last season when Bonzie Colson decided to come back to South Bend for his senior year.
Though they did lose valuable wings in VJ Beachem and Stevie Vasturia, they keep most of their core together and get a very good incoming wing to replace them.
The Fighting Irish will welcome in one recruit for their 2017 class but he’s ranked as a top 50 prospect and could be a four-year player for the program.
2017 Commits:
- DJ Harvey (Hyattsville, MD): 6-6, 185 lbs, SF, Rank – 46
With Colson and Matt Farrell holding the keys to the team, look for Harvey to have an immediate impact and play significant minutes alongside those two all season long.
Our friends over at Slap The Sign broke down Harvey’s fit:
"Heading to the 18th best 3-point shooting team in the country, and a team shooting 46% from the field, Harvey fits right in with the Irish. He’s a two-three guard who can match up with players from the point to power forward and compete."
The Fighting Irish reached the Elite 8 in 2016 before falling to UNC but couldn’t get out of the opening weekend of the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
