Notre Dame makes final four for 2025 four-star Florida guard recruit

Will he be the Irish’s first 2025 commit?

Notre Dame has been waiting for its first 2025 commit. Hopefully, that wait won’t last much longer.

Dante Allen, a four-star guard recruit in the 2025 class at Montverde Academy in Florida, has narrowed down his list to four schools. Luckily for the Irish, they made the cut.

A couple of things are worth noting here. In May, it was reported that Notre Dame and Villanova were two of the four schools Allen was most in contact with. Since then, Syracuse and Marquette clearly have been replaced by a pair of SEC schools.

The other thing to point out is you’ll notice that the Irish apparently are the only program not to even be scheduling an official visit with Allen at this point. It makes you wonder just how good the Irish’s chances are at landing him.

Allen is the 14th-ranked 2025 recruit in the state of Florida and is ranked 81st nationally per 247Sports Composite Rankings. Here’s hoping [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] and his staff are able to get him.

Notre Dame communicating regularly with 2025 Florida shooting guard

Hope he ultimately picks the Irish.

So far, Notre Dame has not received any commitments for its 2025 recruiting class. Naturally, the only way to change that is to stay in constant contact with the recruits who might ultimately fill that list. One of those is four-star shooting guard recruit Dante Allen from Riviera Prep in Miami. At least that’s the case according to recruiting insider Jake Lieberman:

What makes this particular case interesting is that Notre Dame currently is not listed among the schools interested in him on 247Sports. In fairness though, the timeline on his profile hasn’t been updated since the late summer of 2022, so who knows how accurate that is?

Allen is the No. 10 2025 recruit in Florida according to 247Sports in a class that includes the twin sons of former NBA player Carlos Boozer. This past season, he averaged 21.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.4 steals a game.

A two-way guard would be a nice get for an Irish team still trying to build its culture. Of course, Allen has to say yes in the end. We’ll see how this goes.
