    DjogoNotre Dame landed a pledge on Wednesday from 6-foot-7 shooting guard Nicola Djogo of Orangeville Prep in Ontario.

    Mike Brey and the Notre Dame staff noticed Djogo while they were at the school recruiting 7-footer Thon Maker, a priority recruit for the Irish.

    “I had a couple other schools that fit my playing style, but I went down and visited and spent the weekend coach Brey and everything just felt right,” Djogo told Scout.com.

    Butler, UNLV, Tennessee, Wichita State and Wisconsin were also involved.

    “I can play the one, two, three or four,” he told Scout. “It’s just pure versatility. I can shoot the ball real well. I’m great off the ball because of my basketball IQ and I have a little white boy athleticism.”

    Athlete Institute coach Brandon Lesovsky told SNY.tv: “He has a very diverse skill set that allows him to play multiple positions. He is a high IQ player that should be an excellent fit and should be able to compete for playing time right away.”

    Djogo is Notre Dame’s third 2016 commit joining New Jersey guard T.J. Gibbs and Florida power forward John Mooney.
