Justin Ferguson Transfers To Western Michigan Justin Ferguson, a freshman receiver at Notre Dame in 2012 who left the program the first week of spring practice, transferred to Western Michigan this July. He was one of three freshmen who departed from the Fighting Irish program this spring, joining fellow wideout Davonte' Neal (Arizona) and quarterback Gunner Kiel (Cincinnati). A four-star recruit from Hollywood, Fla., but originally from Pennsylvania, Ferguson saw action on the Irish special teams last year and also caught one pass for nine yards. Per NCAA rules, Ferguson will sit out the 2013 season but will have three years of eligibility remaining from 2014-16. Digger Phelps 2, Cancer 0 After overcoming a bout with prostate cancer three years ago, former Notre Dame basketball coach Digger Phelps (1971-91) told South Bend's WSBT-TV this July that doctors have told him he's cancer free again after undergoing surgery April 18 for bladder cancer. Phelps turned 72 on July 4 and has been a college basketball analyst at ESPN since 1993. He indicated he planned to return to that post for the next season — one year longer than his 20-year Notre Dame career when he led the program to a 393-197 record, highlighted by the program's lone Final Four appearance in 1978.
