Four Top High School Hoops Stars Sign Today!

The NCAA's "early" signing period tipped off today and Mike Brey's Fightin' Irish landed four high school basketball stars!   

The class is ranked 10th in the nation -- we haven't seen a class as highly regarded as this in quite some time!

The class is led by a local product by the name of Demetrius Jackson (photo on the left) -- the Marian High School standout is one of the top point guards in the country -- ranked the #26 prospect overall.  He's a huge get for the IRISH.  Here's a link to his HIGHLIGHT VIDEO along with a link to an impressive DUNK:

The second highest ranked player also hails from the State of Indiana and that's V.J. Beachem who plays for New Haven High School (Fort Wayne, IN).  The 6'-6" small forward is ranked #64 in the country by Scout.com.  Here is V.J's highlight video:

The third Notre Dame recruit among the top 100 players in the country is Steve Vasturia -- a 6'-5" shooting guard out of St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia.  Vasturia is ranked #90 in the country by Scout.com.  Here is Philly news story about Steve's commitment to Notre Dame:

And the fourth player to commit to Notre Dame today is another local product -- his name is Austin Torres and he's a 6'-6" power forward from Mishawaka's Penn High School.  Torres and Jackson play on the same AAU team in the summer leagues.  Here is Austin's highlight video:
