Morris on Notre Dame visit

Jake Morris, a 2015 point guard, recently visited Notre Dame, Depaul, and Northwestern unofficially.

The standout point guard liked Depaul's campus and the area around it, but the fact that they play their games off campus and not many students attend was a turn off to Morris.
