Notre Dame basketball got some big news on Friday evening as transfer Cormac Ryan let Mike Brey know he would be coming to South Bend, according to a source within the Irish basketball program.
The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals as a freshman at Stanford. Ryan started 17 games while playing in 24 for the Cardinal.
Ryan will sit in 2019-2020 and will not seek a waiver to play this season.
As a recruit, Ryan was ranked as a four-star prospect by several services.

Ryan averaged 23.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 4.0 steals as a senior at Milton Academy (Mass.), which is also the alma mater of Notre Dame’s all-time leading scorer (football) Justin Yoon.
Notre Dame needed a positive boost of energy and Ryan’s commitment is just that as the Irish didn’t sign a 2019 prospect.
