Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2720363, member: 4946"] Jewell is from Lincolnwood, IL. According to the census, Lincolnwood is 67% white and 27% Asian and just 1% (134 people) black. You note that Niles West is a "minority-majority" school but it is 33% Asian and just 4% Black. So she mostly grew up around white and Asian people. To that point, Jewell is still very tight with her high school friends and posts with them on social media when she is back home. It is a bunch of white (perhaps some are hispanic) guys. I wouldn't think Notre Dame would be a culture shock for her. But yes as you rightly note, many of the black players who go to ND come from Catholic schools. It's not the kind of thing that's easy to talk about on message boards for obvious reasons but after a while you sort of get the sense of whether a black recruit is the kind of black player that typically choose ND. But certainly there are outliers... [/QUOTE]
