Notre Dame Swingman D1 Bound
Notre Dame Prep's post-graduate swingman Levi Noel made a verbal commitment to Eastern Illinois on Wednesday according to Prep head coach Ryan Hurd.
Noel came to Notre Dame from his family's home in England after his father played professionally in Europe for several years.
A six-foot-five swingman with a high basketball I.Q. and terrific feel for the game, Noel emerged as a jack of all trades for Notre Dame Prep this season, showing a willingness to do whatever was necessary to help his team win games.
While he was seldom one of the team's leading scorers, Noel spaced the floor with his shot making, showed the versatility to defend multiple positions, and play with a great combination of grit and intelligence.
Noel becomes the seventh player in Notre Dame's class of 2010 to earn a division I scholarship, joining Ron Giplaye, Cleveland Melvin, Jordair Jett, Antonio Barton, Raphael Giaimo, and Lamount Samuell Jr.
