Zona, Taylor, Sanders, Wertz: Irish 2020 Recruiting Class Breakdown

Hayden Adams | Friday, May 1, 2020

After three straight seasons without an NCAA Tournament appearance (the most recent COVID-19 induced) and with the departure of T.J. Gibbs, Rex Pflueger and John Mooney, Notre Dame men’s basketball head coach Mike Brey has put together a 2020 recruiting class that will look to bolster the Irish back to national success in the coming years.

Irish head coach Mike Brey coaches from the sidelines during Notre Dame’s 77-74 loss to Miami (FL) on Feb. 19, 2018 at Purcell Pavilion. Brey, the men’s program’s winningest coach, will look to end a 3-year NCAA Tournament hiatus in the 2020-21 season.

2020 Recruiting Class:

Matt Zona — 6-foot-9, 235-pound center; Bergen Catholic High School, Oradell, NJ

Elijah Taylor — 6-foot-8, 215-pound power forward; Imhotep Institute Charter High School, Philadelphia, PA

Tony Sanders Jr. — 6-foot-7, 190-pound small forward; Gulliver Prep School, Miami, FL

Trey Wertz — 6-foot-4, 185-pound combo guard; Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA
