Well, we know that ND is trying to get a point in the 2020 class and with Nixon gone taking two even could make sense. Given that combo-guards like Gilbert and Peoples were recruited with the intent of playing them on the wings, I believe Sniezek is the only dedicated point guard on the roster.
I only knew about Clark and Kelly, but it makes sense that there is another name in the mix and I'm happy to hear it.
Not unusual for ND to be recruiting someone and us to have no idea. Dillon and I do what we can but we're not on the level of this board's UConn recruiting thread in terms of intelligence gathering.
(Or maybe Hayes was on Dillon's radar and I wasn't paying attention!)
EDIT - Just realized that she's from *that* Hayes family. Now, I'm more surprised.
Well, I did have a "Hayes" on my radar...but not that one or that family. Seem to recall Niele Ivey dropping by Tennessee awhile back to see Madison Hayes. But didn't see this one...
This may be a "later arrival" on the PG scene now that Jordan Nixon is at Texas A&M. In any case, here's an article on it.

ND's point guard situation is, at best, a bit muddled with only one true point guard (Sniezek) on the roster and she's only there for a year. The competition for Clark is intense and those cards are being held very close to her vest. So, having options is probably prudent (break out the broccoli). However, ND and Olivia Miles apparently have mutual interest in 2021, so I wonder if ND would take more than one PG in 2020.
With the current "Should I Stay or Should I Go" vibe in ND, this makes for interesting times.
p.s. Per Orangutan's point, there's not a lot of us recruiting followers on the ND/Bench front (and there's simply not that much dedicated media, either), but we (Orangutan, MPG, RISteve and others) try.
