I had forgotten about Hernandez and Solomon, both relatively recent. Audrey Gomez, as I recall, was All-State in NJ, went to ND, transferred to USC, and became an actress. She passed away in her late twenties. She had a sister Erika, that went to UCLA, I think.

I used the phrase passed away, perhaps out of hesitance to say murdered. Audrey was in her late 20s.

Happy to have my memory corrected. What is wrong? The post-Notre Dame info?

Solomon was the biggest mystery to me

She was definitely under-ranked coming in to ND and had a huge upside, but I think she perhaps struggled with the rigid/structured lifestyle that college academics and athletics required. It's really a shame - she had a ton of potential. We also could have used her against A&M against Danielle Adams!
