Report: Cormac Ryan makes decision regarding future with Notre Dame

Notre Dame Fighting Irish starting guard Cormac Ryan is returning to South Bend for one more season, according to Jon Rothstein. The New York native averaged 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for the Irish this past season.

Ryan made a name for himself on the national stage during the first round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament, notching a career-best 29 points in No. 11 Notre Dame’s upset of No. 6 Alabama before eventually losing in the Round of 32 to the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Apparently, that wasn’t the way Ryan wanted to end his collegiate career, and is in prime position to be one of the Irish’s top offensive weapons for the 2022-23 season. With three seasons of starting experience under Mike Brey, Ryan will benefit from one more season in his system before turning pro at the end of next season.

Northwestern transfer Ryan Young starts to plan visits

Northwestern transfer Ryan Young is getting an impressive list of visits together as he prepares to make his transfer portal decision.

Young is planning to visit Duke, Boston College, Georgia Tech and Georgetown, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. He also might visit Notre Dame and possibly Miami, Rothstein added.

Young started 31 games as a freshman at Northwestern in 2019-20 but largely came off the bench the last two seasons. He averaged 9.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in 31 appearances this past season while also shooting 55% from the field. He entered the transfer portal March 24, and is now starting to focus in on a potential destination.

Young was a three-star recruit from the Class of 2018 and the No. 4 recruit from the state of Pennsylvania that year, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
