According to her Twitter account, former Notre Dame forward Amirah Abdur Rahim has committed to SMU. The 6-3 Abdur Rahim was a freshman for the Irish in 2020-21, coming off the bench in eight games.

She attended St. Francis HS in Marietta, Ga., where she averaged 14.1, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game as a senior while shooting 60.1 percent from the floor.. Abdur-Rahim shot an impressive 60.1 percent on the year points per game. She was a 2020 Georgia Athletic Coaches Association (GACA) All-State Team selection – Class A North honoree, 2020 AJC Class A Private All-State Honorable Mention and named a 2020 Atlanta All-Metro First Team selection in the North Fulton district.

She also competed on the track team as well, where she ran the 200, 400 and 800 meter relays. Also competed in the high jump and triple jump.

Seems to fit head coach Toyelle Wilson's emphasis on defense. When she signed with Notre Dame, HC Muffet McGraw said "Adding a great defender in Amirah. She’s someone who can block shots and guard anybody on the floor, from point guard to center. She’ll help us in the press as well. She can run the floor and help us in transition. She’s also a three-point threat. We don’t have anyone like her."

Shareef Abdur-Rahim's sister so she has great genes!

Sounds like a nice add.

Dang! Coach is already on the job!

**just googled the new addition** She was a top 100 player out of high school and part of 3 recruits in her class at Notre Dame that earned a top 10 recruiting class designation for the Irish. This is a great talent infusion and she will only get better!

We are going to need all the help we cant get as Rhyle McKinney was ranked #96 overall and the #25 guard in the country. Amirah Abdur-Rahim was ranked the #41 forward in the country.

Great. Picking up players from p5 schools sounds good.

From what I saw she was a major prospect out of high school (#52 in the country according to ESPN) but was a big disappointment at Florida State averaging about 3-5 points throughout her career. If she can come close to her potential we got ourselves an amazing player!
