Huge loss for the team and very disappointing for Scott who already lost a year of eligibility for transferring. Look for Carleton Scott to take the starting small forward slot now, but we lose a ton in depth and talent without the Purdue transfer.

End of the Bench
Starting our season preview in earnest today, we will take a look at the reserves who will not be getting a lot of action this year.
Tim Abromaitis-
The 6'8", 232 pound sophomore forward from Unionville, Connecticut played sparingly last season. Scoring 1.7 PPG in 12 contests, Abro provides decent size on the wing and might see some time as a Rob Kurz-type high post player. Probably still a year away from serious minutes.
Tim Andree-
A second generation Notre Dame forward, the junior walk-on from New Jersey plays a bit like Zach Hillesland. Tall and lean at 6'8", 213 pounds, he will probably not see any more action than his five games last year.
Tom Kopko-
The sophomore walk-on from Chicago turned down a few D1 offers to attend Notre Dame. With solid ball-handling skills, Kopko can run the offense. As he fourth point guard (behind Jackson, K-Mac, and Peoples), he will only see more playing time due to a starter's injury or possession of marijuana.
Ty Proffitt-
The backup point guard played in eight contests last season and transferred back home to Morehead State in August. Best of luck to him.
Ben Hansbrough and Scott Martin-
Two very talented transfers will not see action in the regular season this year, but will contribute next season.

Irish Add Martin
Notre Dame adds another transfer to the squad in 6'8" Scott Martin from Purdue. This is a bigger signing than Hansbrough in that Martin adds some size and rebounding plus an extra year of eligiblity.
Though the team didn't pick up any high school recruits in this cycle, adding Martin, Hansbrough, and Coach Solomon will really help the team develop beyond next season. As a rising sophomore, Martin will sit out next season but have three years of eligibility remaining. Adding an experienced player like Scott to the lineup in '09-'10 is very important with the loss of our four rising seniors.
Welcome to all three of our additions and best of luck to them during the summer transition.

Hansbrough Transfers to Notre Dame
In a bit of old news, Ben Hansbrough has decided to leave Mississippi State and restart his career for the Irish. The 6'3" brother of player of the year Tyler, Hansbrough should be a nice addition to the backcourt in two years. He will help out in practice next season as he sits out his required year.

Sorry about the delay, but I was hoping to pair this post with one about Scott Martin of Purdue. The four star recruit from a year ago has decided to leave the Boilermakers. Odds are on either ND or Valpo. He would be the bigger catch of the two transfers if completed, so I'll postpone my full transfer post until further notice.
