Nebraska assistant coach to join Will Wade's NC State coaching staff
North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball coach Will Wade is expected to hire Nebraska assistant Adam Howard for his inaugural coaching staff, per On3's Pete Nakos (subscription required). Wade accepted the job over the weekend, ending his tenure with McNeese.
Wade was the head coach of the Cowboys from 2023 to 2025. He made the NCAA Tournament both seasons at McNeese and finished with an overall record of 50-9 and 36-2 in the Southland Conference.
Adam Howard spent the last three seasons with the Nebraska basketball program. He took on various roles, including recruiting, opponent scouting, game planning, and player development.
Prior to his time with the Huskers, he was an assistant at South Alabama. He was named the associate head coach for the Jaguars before the 2021-22 season.
The Huskers are set to play the Arizona State Sun Devils in the College Basketball Crown tournament, beginning on March 31. Howard's pending departure also comes at an intriguing time, as the college basketball transfer portal opened on Monday, and the Huskers have been actively looking for new talent.
The Huskers roster will look entirely different for the 2025-26 campaign, and that will include the coaching staff. It will be interesting to see who coach Fred Hoiberg selects as Howard's replacement.

Iowa baseball star earns Perfect Game All-American honors
Iowa baseball star earns Perfect Game All-American honors After a stellar junior campaign with the Hawkeyes, Iowa baseball ace pitcher Cade Obermueller has been named a Perfect Game third-team All-American. The left-hander is the Hawkeyes' first All-American honoree since Brody Brecht and Keaton Anthony earned it in 2023. The Iowa City, Iowa native earned the third-team All-America distinction after going 5-3 with a 3.02 ERA in 15 starts. He posted five quality starts and fanned 117 batters over 83.1 innings. His 117 punchouts rank second all-time in program history for strikeouts in a season. The highlight of Obermueller's 2024-25 season was his complete-game performance at Northwestern on March 4. In that game, he recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts while giving up only one hit, one run, and one base-on-balls in a 12-1 Hawkeyes run-rule win. Obermueller's third-team All-American honors add to his growing list of accomplishments from the past season, which now includes a 2025 All-Big Ten Tournament team and an ABCA/Rawlings NCAA All-Midwest Region first-team selection. While Obermueller could be in line for more honors following the conclusion of the 2025 College World Series later this month, a potential return for his senior season with the Hawkeyes could be vital to the program's success as they hope to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2023.

Nets projected to take Michigan C Danny Wolf No. 27 in 2025 NBA Draft
The Brooklyn Nets have some important decisions to make ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft that begins on June 25 in which the team will have five picks to use. Brooklyn is focused on more than just the Draft, but when it comes to their future, the Nets will have to do their homework given that the players they take this year could be crucial members of the roster. In his latest mock draft for Bleacher Report, Jonathan Wasserman projected the Nets to take Michigan center Danny Wolf with the 27th overall pick in the Draft, the last of four first-round picks Brooklyn has at its disposal. Wolf, standing at 6-foot-11 and 252 pounds, is one of the more interesting players in this class given his ability to handle the ball and shoot at his size. Advertisement "Danny Wolf made a strong, final pitch to scouts against Auburn, finishing with 20 points and a number of eye-opening highlights that showcased his creation and shotmaking," Wasserman wrote on Wolf. "Though his three-point numbers might not indicate shooting improvement, he added a pull-up and step-back to his repertoire this year." Wolf, 21, is coming off a junior season with the Wolverines in which he averaged 13.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game while shooting 49.7% from the field and 33.6% from three-point land. Wolf put forth his production for a Michigan team that finished the 2024-25 regular season with a 27-10 record, allowing them to make the NCAA Tournament where they made it all the way to the Sweet 16 before losing to the Auburn Tigers. While it will be interesting to see if Wolf last until the 27th overall pick in a class that seems to taper off around the 12th pick or so, his skill set will be interesting for every team that has a first-round pick outside of the Lottery. "A 7-footer who made 21 dribble jumpers, served as Michigan's lead playmaker and still averaged 9.7 boards and 1.4 blocks is bound to entice a number of teams," Wasserman continued.
