Incoming Notre Dame guard Blake Wesley featured in Herald Bulletin
Blake Wesley has begun working out at Notre Dame to prepare for his freshman season. That’s according to a story from The Herald Bulletin profiling one of the Irish’s newcomers. Wesley, a product of Riley in South Bend, recently played with the Indiana All-Stars. Now, it’s time for him to take the next step in his basketball journey.
Wesley cited the ability to stay close to home and the opportunities to play both immediately and in the ACC as reasons for selecting the Irish. Perhaps more importantly, he’s fallen in love with the overall culture at Notre Dame:
“I like the coaching staff and like the environment around Notre Dame. People just think Notre Dame is about football, but it’s really all sports, football, basketball, baseball and soccer, all that. But I’m looking forward to it, and it’s going to be a good freshman year.”
The story also says Wesley was a Notre Dame football diehard growing up, but he fell in love with basketball after attending a camp hosted by former Irish point guard Demetrius Jackson. The two were able to get a picture with each other that Wesley still has on his phone. It’s like suiting up for the hometown Irish was meant to be all along.
