Notre Dame already held a commitment from 4-star Point Guard Temple Gibbs when John Mooney stepped onto the South Bend-based campus. It did not take long for Mooney to become the 2nd commitment in the Irish 2016 recruiting class.
Mooney’s coach Mike Cuff told the Orlando Sentinel, “He has worked so hard for so long, and to be rewarded with the opportunity to go to the University of Notre Dame…it just doesn’t get any better, man. There is a God, and I’m pretty sure he is Irish.”
Mooney hails from Altamonte Springs, Florida where he plays Lake Brantley High School.
