During McGraw's induction into ND's Basketball Ring of Honor, ND's Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick announced that they will be putting a statue of McGraw outside the Purcell Pavilion:
At the end of Sunday’s ceremony, Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick announced what many fans have wanted since McGraw retired in 2020 that there will be a Muffet McGraw statue outside of Purcell Pavilion.
“I was overwhelmed with the word of the statue,” McGraw said. “That was something that I never imagined it. You know when people would kind of joke about it, I was like that’s a football thing. That’s not going to happen over here. But I think the biggest thing I feel like for women’s sports and for women in general, it’s a major step forward for Notre Dame to recognize that and be one of the leaders in supporting women.”
Now what will that statue look like?
We don’t know yet but McGraw says she wants the pose of her to be standing instead of her signature crouching down.
