After one season with the Irish, South Bend native and freshman guard Blake Wesley is headed to the NBA Draft. Wesley led Notre Dame with 14.4 points and 1.3 steals per game last year in a run to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament.

The dynamic 6-5, 185 pounder was an On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, top-100 recruit out of South Bend (Ind.) Riley.

BlueandGold.com‘s Patrick Engel has more on the decision, along with that of senior forward Nate Laszewski, here.
