If you think her face is pretty, check out her jumper

Over on ESPN's website, Scoop Jackson writes about Skylar Diggins of Notre Dame, in particular about how, as he puts it, she's one of those people who "defies the sentence that condemns the rest of us. Every now and then, someone shows up with sovereign skills and supreme attractiveness, and it's unfair."

"The hard thing about beauty is that it can't be ignored," Jackson writes. "Especially when it's so hard to ignore that it obscures something deeper, something that in this case is the attempt to out-ball damn near every yet-to-turn-pro female basketball player in the world.
Beauty, in Skylar Diggins' case, should come secondary. I said should ."

While I'm not so naive as to think that Diggins' looks don't get her extra attention (and some of those 131,000-plus Twitter followers), I'm going to guess that she's not the only attractive woman on the Notre Dame campus. I've never been there, but I feel fairly comfortable going out on that limb.

But it's because of basketball that Scoop Jackson, I and basketball fans know who she is.

Scoop gets it.

"Skylar Diggins will tell you that, for her, it's ball above all. It's on us to look past her beauty to see that."

Indeed it is. Can we?
