St. John’s Prep’s Pat Connaughton committed to Notre Dame yesterday afternoon. The two-sport athlete will be receiving a scholarship for basketball but will also play baseball.

The senior averaged 24 points and 17 rebounds per game in the 2009-2010 basketball season and considered Boston college and UCLA as well before making his decision.

“I enjoyed my visit [to Notre Dame]. My visit really made me make the decision,” Connaughton said. “And making the decision was tough. I had no idea where I was going to go until last night.”

Connaughton is “really excited” to play for the Fighting Irish and said that he’s used to playing two sports.

“That’s what I’m doing now."
