The University of Notre Dame women's basketball team has received a commitment from
Diamond Thompson, according to the South Bend Tribune.
Thompson is a 6-foot-4 junior center from
Montini (Lombard, Ill.) and the first Irish commitment from the Class of 2013. She also had drawn strong interest from Rutgers, Louisville, Michigan, DePaul, Marquette and Michigan State.
As a sophomore, she averaged eight points, five rebounds and four blocked shots for a state championship team. She is considered among the nation's top junior centers and is especially strong as a shot-blocker and rebounder.
