It looks like Jami Montagnino will have to brush up on her Italian. The standout guard, who left Tulane as one of the school's best pure shooters (1st in FT%, 14th in scoring), will play for Ribera (Banco de Sicily) of the Italian League . She'll join Megan Duffy, who started for Notre Dame in 2006 and now starts for Ribera.
Montagnino was probably seen as extremely valuable not only for her shooting, but also the fact that she will count as a domestic player (Italian rosters can only have two non-Italians per team). Montagnino's grandfather is Italian, thus she will not cost Ribera a valuable "foreign slot."
Here's the link to the story.
