In the portal area, a lot of kids who leave Indiana will look to come back when they enter the portal. And we haven’t exactly had great success in keeping kids from places like California, in any sport. South Bend has a lot of good players and local interest is good for both attendance and player retention. Basketball is also the one sport where Indiana has a boatload of talent. Notre Dame shouldn’t have to go all the way to Tulsa to find Parker Friedrichsen, nor expect him to stick around.
