🏀 WHY DOES DEMI HOLMAN WEAR #23?

For Demi, the number is bigger than basketball.

Her dad wore #23 when he played in high school, and because he's someone she looks up to, wearing the same number has special meaning. ❤️

Oh yeah... there's another pretty good #23 she likes too.

MICHAEL JORDAN. 🐐😂

But then we had to ask the REAL question...

Can Demi beat her dad NOW? 👀

She didn't exactly give us the confident YES we were looking for—but she did make one thing clear:

"I do be scoring on him." 😂🏀

Sounds like Pops might need to start worrying!

🎥 Check out this fun moment from our conversation with Demi Holman.

☘️ WHAT MADE HANNAH HIDALGO CHOOSE NOTRE DAME?

For Hannah Hidalgo, the answer starts with Coach Niele Ivey.

CONSISTENCY. 💯

Coach Ivey recruited Hannah throughout high school, but Hannah wanted to know if the person she saw during recruiting was the REAL person she'd be playing for.

So she did her homework. 👀

She asked around.

And everybody told her the same thing about Coach Ivey:

What you see is what you get.

Hannah says Coach Ivey cares about her as more than just a basketball player—and that's helped Notre Dame become more than just a school.

It's FAMILY. ☘️

And in today's transfer portal era, Hannah dropped a message worth hearing:

"The grass isn't always greener on the other side."

🎥 Hear Hannah explain why Notre Dame became home.
