IRISH IN THE PROS BY RYAN TICE N otre Dame has been one of the most prolific schools in producing tal- ent for the NFL Draft, which is set for April 30-May 2. The school has not been as successful in the NBA Draft — which is set for June 25 — but that should be different this year. While the football team has no surefire selections for the top-end of the NFL Draft, the basketball squad boasts its first first- round prospect since 2002 with Ryan Humphrey. Fifth-year senior point guard Jer- ian Grant wrapped up his career by leading the Fighting Irish to an ACC championship, the program's first-ever conference title, and he was named the tournament MVP. He then helped the squad to an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance, where the Irish fell to top-seeded Kentucky in a game that went down to the wire.
