Notre Dame Women’s Basketball Scores Major Transfer Portal Commitment With 100 Percent Decision
Notre Dame women’s basketball continues to solidify its powerhouse status with the latest addition from the NCAA transfer portal. The Fighting Irish have landed a key commitment from a high-priority transfer target, adding depth and experience to a roster already teeming with talent. The recruit, a standout guard from a Power Five program, has made her intentions crystal clear — Notre Dame was always her top choice, describing her decision as a “hundred percent” commitment to the Irish.
This transfer decision didn’t come lightly, but it was swift and decisive once the portal opened. The player, who averaged double-digit points last season and brings postseason experience, fills a crucial need for the Irish as they look to bolster their backcourt. Her commitment comes at a critical time as Notre Dame gears up for a deep NCAA tournament run in the 2025 season, following a strong showing last year.
Head coach Niele Ivey has once again proven her recruiting prowess, not only in bringing in elite freshmen but also in navigating the ever-changing landscape of the transfer portal. The addition reflects Ivey’s vision of building a championship-caliber team through both traditional recruiting and strategic transfers.
The new commit cited Ivey’s leadership, Notre Dame’s winning culture, and the opportunity to develop in a competitive yet supportive environment as the main reasons for choosing the program. “This just felt like home,” she said in her announcement. “From the first conversation with Coach Ivey, I knew this was where I was meant to be. I’m one hundred percent locked in.”
The Fighting Irish have been aggressive and effective in the portal this offseason, recognizing the importance of experienced contributors in today’s college basketball landscape. With injuries and early WNBA departures impacting rosters across the country, getting proven talent has become essential. This latest commitment could provide the spark the Irish need to push back into the Final Four and potentially beyond.
For fans and analysts, the commitment sends a strong message — Notre Dame isn’t just reloading; it’s refining. This isn’t just about filling a roster spot; it’s about targeting players who fit the system, the culture, and the legacy of Notre Dame basketball.
As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on how this new addition integrates into the team’s system and how the Fighting Irish continue to build toward a dominant 2025 campaign. With a talented returning core, a top-rated freshman class, and now a marquee transfer, Notre Dame’s path to national contention looks clearer than ever.
Stay tuned — the Irish are far from done. But with this one hundred percent commitment secured, Notre Dame women’s basketball just got a whole lot stronger.
