Five-star forward, Notre Dame target to announce college decision

Hope she picks the Irish!

Even with Notre Dame set to have a fantastic 2024-25 season, there’s no reason to get complacent with the period beyond that. The Irish want to keep the good times going for as long as possible. Landing one particular player would help that cause in a big way.

Deniya Prawl originally hails from Toronto, but she’s been developing her game at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. She’s become a five-star small forward according to 247Sports and is ranked sixth in the 2025 recruiting class.

The Irish are one of three finalists for Prawl’s services alongside Tennessee and Baylor. She has announced that she’ll make her decision Nov. 11.

As of this moment, the only 2025 commit for the Irish is [autotag]Leah Macy[/autotag], another five-star forward who made her decision in May. While the Irish obviously have a solid player coming in already, it would help immensely to have another one, especially when women’s basketball is getting more attention than ever:

Best of luck to Prawl in making her decision, though we obviously hope she picks the Irish.

Notre Dame adds five-star forward Leah Macy to 2025 recruiting class

The Irish just keep adding.

Notre Dame has had a couple of solid additions to its 2024-25 roster via the transfer portal. But [autotag]Niele Ivey[/autotag] also is looking to the future. To that end, five-star forward [autotag]Leah Macy[/autotag] of Bethlehem in Bardstown, Kentucky has been one of the players on her radar. That pursuit officially has paid off with Macy announcing her commitment to the Irish:

And if that tweet isn’t enough for you, check out the awesome video Macy made also announcing her decision.

This past season, the 6-foot-2 Macy averaged 24.9 points and 13.9 rebounds a game. ESPN ranks her as the No. 14 recruit in her class, and she can play both forward positions as well as center.

Perhaps it’s not coincidental that Macy announced her decision during the same 24-hour span in which the Irish landed forwards [autotag]Liatu King[/autotag] and [autotag]Liza Karlen[/autotag] for this coming season. While she won’t be teammates with them, she could be part of a new core of bigs that includes incoming freshman [autotag]Kate Koval[/autotag]. Hopefully, Koval will save that seat for her until she arrives.
