In all honesty, though, Self didn't sign McLemore to be a lockdown defender.
The first time we'll get to see McLemore in action on James Naismith Court is Oct. 12 for Late Night in the Phog. The players will jog out of the tunnel and form layup lines. Those layup lines will slowly evolve into dunk lines.

But the Tigers bounced back

McDonald played in the U.S. Army All-American bowl following his senior year of high school, and Scout.com ranked him as the eighth-best middle linebacker in his class. During his four seasons with Notre Dame, McDonald played in 28 games. He played in all 12 games of the 2009 season, and he played 11 games in 2010, but McDonald appeared in only four games in 2011 because of injuries.
