Niele and Michaela Mabrey have been working with Jenica Lewis for quite some time ("Mutual interest" as Muffet McGraw once called it). All concerned stuck with it and -- as an Irish fan -- I'm looking forward to her joining some super-talented wings (Ragone, Abii, Byles) next year. She's a good...

ND wracks up another commitment with guard Jenica Lewis. Great get.

ND Wins Opener Against FDU, 98-52. - Hannah Hidalgo led the way with 27 points, while Vanessa de Jesus followed with a career-high 22. Gisela Sanchez also had her first career double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. - ND shot 54% from the field. Now, 32 points came off turnovers and 42...

Notre Dame and Iowa fans paying hard attention to this announcement. Lewis, of course, is an Iowa resident, but she and Notre Dame have long had a "Mutual interest" (a phrase Muffet McGraw once used, that I liked and continue to use) in each other. Lewis took an OV to Notre Dame not too long ago.

We'll see tonight with the first game against FDU at 7 p.m. BTW, per head coach Niele Ivey, grad transfers Iyana Moore (Vanderbilt) and Malaya Cowles (Wake Forest) as well as freshman Leah Macy are out for Notre Dame women’s basketball’s season opener against Fairleigh Dickinson. The Irish will...

As I understand it, Macy had two severe things happen to her during the initial injury. Both of these happened during her senior year in high school and she had them treated at Notre Dame during her senior spring in high school. They injury(ies) were extensive but from what I hear, read...

Holy Crow. I suddenly realized the Irish have their first regular season game this Wednesday at 7 p.m. against FDU at Purcell Pavilion in South Bend. Guess my attention was elsewhere (recruiting and ND Women's Soccer who are in the playoff mode now). Get to see how Hannah Hidalgo and fellow...

It's quite the opposite, actually, Rooster: ND and Jones were in mutual contact early on, when Jones' former HS teammate, Kate Koval, was still enjoying the shine of the Golden Dome. They somewhat surprisingly stayed on Jones' radar but were clearly not on her "podium" of serious finalists...

Those top three are headline choices for induction, that's for sure. I'll also give a shout-out to Doris Burke, the Jersey girl who -- before heading to the guy's side -- was a steady presence on the women's broadcasting circuit. Broadcasters are often a matter of taste, but I always found her...

Fair enough. In '23-'24, Kneepkens only played 8 games before being injured but in '22-23, the Utes has Alisa Pili playing down low, so there was some inside-out action going on. Kneepkens shooting percentages from three were pretty much the same those two years, so she can rip it if she was...

I'll be paying attention to three particular players on this list for varying reasons: Transfers: Gianna Kneepkens will have the benefit of playing with a center (Lauren Betts) who will draw serious attention down low; and, Kiki Rice, a point guard who is adept at driving and dishing. This...

Yeah, the heck with the curtain...Where are the sound-proof sliding doors being put in?

Make sure you don't take a restaurant run anywhere by Death Valley for awhile... 😎 😉

Notre Dame hasn't had a player from Texas since Bri Turner. This year, they have two: Jacy Abii and Amari Byles.

Amari Byles publicly committed to Notre Dame today at an announcement that ran on You Tube. However, based on a video segment that was run just after she showed a Notre Dame tee shirt, it looked like she announced to ND Coach and team when she was on-campus; something fellow Texas Jacy Abii did...
