Tomboy salute: Skylar Diggins
Notre Dame stand out Skylar Diggins signed to Jay-Z's agency, Roc Nation, as she heads into the WNBA. As a graduation gift she received the brand spanking new Mercedes pictured above.
Diggins was the third overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft. She will no doubt snag several endorsement deals ranging from athletic apparel to beauty products. Diggins, allegedly, hates being photographed without her makeup on.
