Notre Dame hires alum Jas Smith as Director of Operations for women's basketball
Notre Dame hires alum Jas Smith as Director of Operations for women's basketball Jas Smith has strong ties to South Bend
Notre Dame women's basketball has added a new member to the front-office family.
Jas Smith is the new Director of Operations for the Fighting Irish.
The 2016 Notre Dame graduate is returning after serving as the director of operations for LSU football since January of 2022. It's no shock that Smith was working for former Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge -- she served as his coordinator of on-campus recruiting at Notre Dame from 2018-2021.
Before that, she was an ambassador for Notre Dame football while an undergraduate student in South Bend. She has a degree in information technology management from Notre Dame.
She also worked as an admissions counselor at Notre Dame from 2016-2017. She worked as a director for undergraduate admissions at Nova Southeastern University after leaving Notre Dame, and she had a stop at the Special Olympics in Miami, where she was a senior sports manager, in 2021 when she was between stints working for Kelly.
She'll be working under new men's and women's basketball general manager Pat Garrity. The men's team is continuing to try to rebuild, while the women's team will be working to get over a disappointing Sweet 16 loss in last season's tournament. The women's team had been expected to compete for a championship.
Welcome back to campus, Jas.

Spartans listed as new favorite to beat out Wisconsin for priority 3-star WR prospect
Spartans listed as new favorite to beat out Wisconsin for priority 3-star WR prospect It's a battle between Michigan State and Wisconsin for a notable wide receiver prospect right now, and it appears things may be swaying in the Spartans' favor all of a sudden. A few weeks ago it looked like three-star wide receiver Zachary Washington was heading to Madison, Wisc. to continue his football career, but the latest intel from On3 suggests things may have shifted in the Spartans' favor. While Washington -- who hails from Wheaton, Ill. -- still has crystal ball predictions in favor of Wisconsin on 247Sports from last week, the Spartans are now listed as the clear-cut favorite to land his commitment on competitor recruiting site On3. On On3, Michigan State currently holds an 85% chance to land his commitment, while Wisconsin is only at 8% and West Virginia at 3%. Washington is a three-star prospect with an 87 recruiting rating on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 111 wide receiver in the class and No. 883 overall prospect in the country. He is considered one of the top priorities at wide receiver for the Spartans in the 2026 class. Michigan State hosted Washington for an official visit last weekend, which came one week after he visited Wisconsin. He will reportedly take an official visit to West Virginia this weekend as well. There is no known commitment date for Washington at this time, but it sounds like these are the three teams he is focused on within his recruiting. So with all three official visits completed after this weekend, we could certainly see a college announcement coming in the next few weeks. Michigan State has been hot on the recruiting trail lately with eight commits since the start of June. The Spartans have seen their class move up the charts thanks to this latest flurry with Michigan State now ranking No. 34 nationally at the posting of this article. The addition of Washington to this class would only further this surge from the Spartans on the recruiting trail. Stay with Spartans Wire for additional updates and coverage on Washington's recruitment.

Indiana Fever clear Caitlin Clark for WNBA return
Indiana Fever clear Caitlin Clark for WNBA return On the eve of the Indiana Fever's (4-5) high-profile Saturday matchup against the New York Liberty (9-0), head coach Stephanie White provided a promising update on guards Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham's recovery status. Clark has been out since suffering a left quadriceps strain against the Liberty on May 24, while Cunningham has been absent with a right ankle injury sustained during the team's May 31 loss to the Connecticut Sun. On Friday, White informed the mass of reporters that both Clark and Cunningham would be available for the team on Saturday, barring any unexpected regression in their final tune-ups. Despite the positive recovery news for Clark and Cunningham, White also said the team is expected to be without forward DeWanna Bonner, who has been away for personal reasons. With the extended rest for both Clark and Cunningham, as the two were held out of Tuesday's game in Atlanta, the reintegration of the star guards should significantly help the Fever's offensive efficiency, as Indiana has averaged 77.6 points per game during Clark's absence and 74 points per game following Cunningham's injury. Saturday's game against the undefeated Liberty squad will be held at 2 p.m. CT from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis as part of WNBA Commissioner's Cup action. The premier matchup between the two talented franchises will be broadcast on ABC.
