Notre Dame lands commitment from Princeton transfer Matt Allocco

Notre Dame has landed a commitment from Princeton guard Matt Allocco, the player announced on his Twitter account on Wednesday morning.

Alloco had interest from several schools but chose Notre Dame to continue his playing career. He should offer the Fighting Irish quite the weapon in the backcourt.

The 6-foot-4 guard is a two-time second-team All-Ivy League selection, earning those honors each of the past two years.

During the 2023-24 season, Allocco averaged 12.7 points, 3.3 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. He’s a quality passer with good vision.

He’s also a terrific shooter.

Matt Allocco is a career 41.2% 3-point shooter, and he’s coming off a season in which he stroked it from beyond the arc at a 42.7% clip. That’s actually not the best rate of his career, either, with Allocco shooting it 45.2% from beyond the arc as a freshman in 2021-22.

The talented Princeton guard suited up in 91 games for the Tigers, starting 63 of them, over the course of the last three years.

Notre Dame forward Carey Booth commits to Illinois

While the Fighting Irish took in a transfer on Wednesday, they lost one on Tuesday. Forward Carey Booth made his decision and committed to Illinois, he announced on his Instagram account on Tuesday night.

Booth spent just one season with the Fighting Irish, averaging 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game while seeing 19.9 minutes per contest. Booth checks in at 6 foot 10, offering excellent size.

In addition to his contributions as a scorer and rebounder, Booth also contributed the occasional other stats. He recorded 21 blocks, 15 assists and seven steals during his action at Notre Dame.

Booth played in 33 games, starting 19 of them as a true freshman before deciding to transfer.
