Had very little to do with Mitchell. Read for yourselves what she said help guide her to Notre Dame. Here is what she said in a recent interview:
“I want to help to try to win a national championships. I aspire to play int he WNBA one day, I want to play overseas one day, and I knew when I made the decision, I thought this was the best place that would make me the best person and player that I can be,” Boley said. “I’m looking to mature all the way around while I’m there.”
Notre Dame hasn’t missed the tournament since 1993, and has won four straight conference championships across its membership with the Big East and then ACC. Under Muffet McGraw, it is a powerhouse basketball program, but it’s basketball prowess isn’t the only reason Boley chose Notre Dame.
“Every time I visited there, the whole atmosphere really fit my personality well. I really like the fact they emphasize service in the community, and I really like the fact that they emphasize faith,” Boley said. “I like the fact they emphasize different values like that. They obviously have high academics, they emphasize family and community service, all before athletics.”
