Mike Brey: Freshman Ven-Allen Lubin will start to begin season
Notre Dame will have plenty of experience this season. An incredible six players on the roster are listed as graduates, including returnees Nate Laszewski, Dane Goodwin, Cormac Ryan and Trey Wertz. All of those players figure to get significant playing time, but there is one freshman who apparently will begin the season in the starting lineup. We’re not talking about JJ Starling (although he should at least merit consideration), but rather a freshman forward, at least according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports:
Mike Brey tells me that Notre Dame freshman Ven-Allen Lubin is going to begin the season in the Irish's starting lineup.
Brey on Lubin: "He's got a physicality about him that's similar to Ryan Humphrey."

Mike Brey putting his trust in a freshman forward like this is nothing short of incredible. But still, who is this Ven-Allen Lubin? Well, he stands at 6-foot-8 and was a four-star recruit out of Orlando, Florida. Perhaps Brey can put it best in his quote on Lubin’s official profile:
“Ven-Allen is a positionless basketball player. He has the ability to post up, face up, run and change ends. He also brings great length on the defensive end.”
Sounds like a winner to us. How about you?
