'They made it known they wanted me.' One of state's top seniors commits to Chris Holtmann, DePaul
The dominoes in the state's 2026 high school basketball class continue to fall. Plainfield's Noah Smith, ranked the No. 2 prospect by IndyStar in the senior class behind Purdue recruit and Mt. Vernon senior Luke Ertel, committed to DePaul on Monday evening following a weekend official visit. The 6-8 Smith averaged 16.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocked shots per game to earn core Junior All-Star honors last season. DePaul coach Chris Holtmann was one of the first coaches to offer Smith, who had scheduled an official visit to Oklahoma State in October. Smith picked the Chicago program over scholarship offers from Akron, Ball State, Belmont, East Carolina, Indiana State, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma State, Toledo and Xavier. Smith is ranked No. 138 in the country in the 2026 class on the 247Sports composite list. 'I just loved the city, and it was a really good environment on campus,' Smith said of DePaul. 'And then there's the staff. I loved everyone (on the coaching staff). They made me welcome and made it known that they wanted me. And I feel like they are on the come up.' Holtmann's staff includes former Purdue assistant Jack Owens and former Butler coach LaVall Jordan. DePaul, a 14-20 team last year in Holtmann's first season (an 11-win improvement), has commitments in the 2026 class from Andrew Jensen, a 6-9 forward from Kaukauna, Wisc., and Mason Lockett, a 6-4 guard from Oswego, Ill. Holtmann also picked up a pair of four-star high school players in the 2025 class in 6-5 Kruz McClure and 7-1 Isaiah Medina. Former Lawrence North standout and Indiana transfer CJ Gunn was DePaul's leading scorer last year, averaging 12.9 points and 4.0 rebounds. Smith is a versatile player who can stretch the floor from the 3-point line. He was 20-for-62 from the arc as a junior but showed the ability to shoot at a higher clip during the summer with his high school team and Grand Park Premier travel team. 'Noah has improved tremendously since the end of last season,' Plainfield coach Andy Weaver said in June. 'He put on some strength, some weight, and the thing is his game translates definitely to the next level with his skill set. I think people will see his game rise to another level.'

Purdue basketball's season was ended by a missed rebound; Cluff, Jacobsen are here to fix that issue
WEST LAFAYETTE − Oscar Cluff caught a pass on the block, then went to work with a bevy of post moves that helped him average 17.6 points per game at South Dakota State last season. The result on Sunday during Purdue basketball practice at Cardinal Court was Daniel Jacobsen blocking Cluff's shot. "He's so long," Cluff said of Jacobsen. "One of the biggest things for me is I've never played with someone that tall. When he just stands there with his hands up, it's almost damn near above the rim." The two would embark on several more low-post battles throughout Sunday's practice, during which they showcased how they'll likely help in areas the Boilermakers lacked a season ago. The image of how last season ended − a missed defensive rebounding opportunity and Houston scoring at the rim to end Purdue's NCAA Tournament run in the Sweet 16 − encapsulated two weak areas for the Boilermakers in a matter of heartbreaking seconds. Re-live Purdue's run to the Final Four with our commemorative book Purdue allowed nearly 11 second-chance points and more than 30 points in the paint per game on average last season. On nine occasions, teams scored at least 15 second-chance points. Ten times, an opponent scored at least 38 points in the paint. More: Purdue basketball looks forward to center who 'opens up some things' returning stronger from injury More: Oscar Cluff was destined to be a boilermaker. His world tour found Purdue's 'basketball heaven' From JaJuan Johnson to AJ Hammons to Matt Haarms, Isaac Haas, Caleb Swanigan, Trevion Williams and Zach Edey, Purdue has had years of luxury knowing it owned an advantage at the rim. Last season, following Jacobsen's injury, the team relied mostly on a pair of 6-foot-9 players, Trey Kaufman-Renn and Caleb Furst, in the frontcourt and sparingly tried its hand with 7-foot-2 Will Berg, who transferred to Wichita State in the offseason. "There was just too many plays at the rim last year, no matter who was there," coach Matt Painter said. "That is first and foremost for us to do a better job of not allowing so many plays at the rim." With the rim-protecting Jacobsen returning healthy after breaking his tibia one minute into the season's second game and with the addition of Cluff, who averaged 12.3 rebounds per game last season and is lauded for ball screen defense, those issues should be solved. "Both of those guys are going to help us a lot," sophomore guard Gicarri Harris said. "I think Oscar was the second-best rebounder in the country last year. I can already tell in our practices, he's been getting so many offensive rebounds and giving us another possession. "Daniel has been working hard, and he can dominate the post." There are other pluses to the center combination as well. Both are capable outside shooters, which theoretically would allow Trey Kaufman-Renn to move to the four and give him more space to operate in the post, where he was one of college basketball's most efficient players last season. Last season, Kaufman-Renn was Purdue's only true offensive threat in the post. With Jacobsen and Cluff, there are at least three currently, and their varying skillsets allow the Boilermakers' offensive diversity that it lacked on the block in the post-Edey era. Both are lob threats, which Purdue thrived on during the two years Edey played alongside point guard Braden Smith. "I think we're really versatile," Jacobsen said. "We can guard. We can score. We can play in a lot of different ways, and I think that is going to allow us to have a lot of success." Plenty of promise, but there have also been early challenges. Cluff was late joining the Boilermakers while home in Australia during the summer. He showed up out of shape compared to his new teammates. Jacobsen, while he did get back in game flow playing for Team USA's gold medal-winning U19 Fiba World Cup team, still has just one true college basketball game under his belt, though he did have 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks in a win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi to open last season. While sidelined with an injury last season, Jacobsen watched as teams at times exposed Purdue's lack of size. And Cluff, who had to be a scorer for South Dakota State last season, knows at Purdue he's a valuable piece, but not the marquee player, to a hopeful championship puzzle. "I know they are the guys and I want to come in and help do whatever I can contribute," Cluff said. "Whatever that is. Find my place on the team, which is the biggest thing, and I obviously want to learn a lot from them as well."

Re-ranking all 18 Big Ten head football coaches entering 2025 season
The Big Ten enters the 2025 football season with only one new head coach in place: Purdue's Barry Odom. That is a significant departure from last offseason, when the conference welcomed five new head coach hires (Indiana, Michigan, Washington, Michigan State and UCLA). Of course, Indiana's Curt Cignetti stole headlines throughout the year as he led the Hoosiers to a program-best 11-1 regular season and a College Football Playoff appearance. Michigan's Sherrone Moore and Washington's Jedd Fisch each found some success late in the season, while Michigan State's Jonathan Smith and UCLA's DeShaun Foster provided more mixed results. The Big Ten's hiring tends to happen in waves. After the conference sees little turnover during one season, the next can often bring significant changes. That reality is worth keeping in mind entering 2025. Several coaches enter the year needing a strong output to redirect their program's trajectory. Position Previews: Overall Offenses -- Quarterbacks -- Running Backs -- Wide Receivers -- Tight Ends -- Offensive Lines -- Overall Defenses -- Defensive Lines -- Pass-Rushers -- Inside Linebackers -- Cornerbacks -- Safeties -- Secondaries -- Special Teams Units Coaching Staff Previews: Offensive Coordinators -- Defensive Coordinators With training camps underway and the season fast approaching, we're taking an updated look at the Big Ten's head coach landscape. 18. Mike Locksley (Maryland Terrapins) Head Coaching Record: 35-67 (New Mexico 2009-11, Maryland 2015-present) Analysis: Locksley might need a job-saving performance in 2024. His Terrapins are fresh off a 4-8 campaign, including a 1-8 record in conference play and a 1-7 stretch to close the season. While it was the program's first losing season since 2020, it signaled possible struggles to come. That is especially the case after standout quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. transferred to Wisconsin. Locksley's coordinator hires -- each veteran with significant NFL experience -- signals his mindset entering the year. 17. David Braun (Northwestern Wildcats) Head Coaching Record: 12-13 (Northwestern 2023-present) Analysis: Braun was the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2023, leading Northwestern to an 8-5 record after the late-offseason firing of longtime coach Pat Fitzgerald. 2024 was far from an impressive encore. The Wildcats went 4-8, including blowout losses in all but two Big Ten contests (wins over Purdue and Maryland). Northwestern is a challenging place to win in college football's current landscape. That said, Braun still has to establish the program's floor before he can rise in these rankings. 16. Barry Odom (Purdue Boilermakers) Head Coaching Record: 45-33 (Missouri 2016-19, UNLV 2023-24) Analysis: Odom turned over Purdue's entire program in just a few months. After the team went 1-11 last season, that change can't be anything but a good thing. Odom had some success at Missouri in the late 2010s and just recently excelled at UNLV. He should at least give Purdue some stability. 15. DeShaun Foster (UCLA Bruins) Head Coaching Record: 5-7 (UCLA 2024-present) Analysis: Foster and the Bruins did well in 2024, given the circumstances. The team faced one of the toughest schedules in the sport. Notably, it did so after the program was forced to rebuild after former coach Chip Kelly left for the Ohio State offensive coordinator opening. After a full offseason of roster improvements, 2025 will be an important year for Foster's standing. Get more (UCLA) news, analysis and opinions on UCLA Wire 14. Jonathan Smith (Michigan State Spartans) Head Coaching Record: 39-42 (Oregon State 2018-23, Michigan State 2024-present) Analysis: Smith joined the Spartans with high expectations after a strong run at Oregon State. The team's 5-7 finish in 2024 was a major disappointment, given the hype surrounding the coach's hire. Like with many others, 2025 will be a critical year for his tenure. Get more (Michigan State) news, analysis and opinions on Spartans Wire 13. Greg Schiano (Rutgers Scarlet Knights) Head Coaching Record: 94-101 (Rutgers 2001-11, 2020-present) Analysis: Schiano has done well to establish Rutgers as a high-floor team over the last few seasons. A third consecutive bowl trip in 2025 would lead to a jump up these rankings -- especially if some of the other higher-ranked coaches struggle. 12. Luke Fickell (Wisconsin Badgers) Head Coaching Record: 76-38 (Ohio State 2011, Cincinnati 2017-22, Wisconsin 2023-present) Analysis: The start of Fickell's Wisconsin tenure has fallen far short of expectations. The program is just 12-13 through two seasons, including a 5-7 2024 season that snapped its 23-year bowl streak. The Badgers face the nation's toughest schedule in 2025, so it's unreasonable to expect a sudden breakthrough. But offensive changes and an impressive transfer class must at least push the program back to bowl eligibility. 11. Jedd Fisch (Washington Huskies) Head Coaching Record: 23-29 (UCLA 2017, Arizona 2021-23, Washington 2024-present) Analysis: Fisch took over the Washington job under challenging circumstances in 2024. Former coach Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama, bringing with him several of the Huskies' top players. Fisch, who won 10 games at Arizona in 2023, did well to lead the Huskies to a bowl game. His team's expectations are sky-high entering 2025. A nine or 10-win breakthrough could lead to a big rise in these rankings. Get more (Washington) news, analysis and opinions on Huskies Wire 10. Sherrone Moore (Michigan Wolverines) Head Coaching Record: 8-5 (Michigan 2024-present) Analysis: Moore impressed during his first year in charge. Despite the Wolverines having one of the nation's worst passing offenses, which the head coach is accountable for, the team still reached eight wins, including late-season triumphs over Ohio State and Alabama. Five-star freshman Bryce Underwood arrives in Ann Arbor to fix that passing situation. If he does, Moore's profile could quickly rise. Get more (Michigan) news, analysis and opinions on Wolverines Wire 9. P.J. Fleck (Minnesota Golden Gophers) Head Coaching Record: 88-61 (Western Michigan 2013-16, Minnesota 2017-present) Analysis: Fleck is established as one of the Big Ten's more consistent head coaches. He's led the Gophers to bowl appearances in six straight non-COVID seasons, including a strong 8-5 2024 campaign. While the program's ceiling isn't quite CFP-level, its consistent winning under Fleck is above its typical baseline. That leads to a strong ranking. 8. Matt Rhule (Nebraska Cornhuskers) Head Coaching Record: 59-56 (Temple 2013-16, Baylor 2017-19, Nebraska 2023-present) Analysis: Rhule led Nebraska to its first bowl appearance since 2016 last season. Still, the team was far from stellar over the back half of the campaign, winning just one of its last six regular-season contests. Rhule will need to lead the Cornhuskers to a breakthrough 2025 campaign for him to keep this strong ranking. Former five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola's play will decide that fate. Get more (Nebraska) news, analysis and opinions on Cornhuskers Wire 7. Lincoln Riley (USC Trojans) Head Coaching Record: 81-24 (Oklahoma 2017-21, USC 2022-present) Analysis: Riley is one of many coaches who need a big 2025 season. USC is just 15-11 over the last two campaigns, including a 4-5 Big Ten record in its inaugural season in the conference. Riley is expected to deliver Heisman quarterbacks and annual CFP appearances. Anything less and he'll start to slide to the middle of the pack. Get more (USC) news, analysis and opinions on Trojans Wire 6. Curt Cignetti (Indiana Hoosiers) Head Coaching Record: 30-6 (James Madison 2022-23, Indiana 2024-present) Analysis: Cignetti and his Indiana Hoosiers were the story of college football last season. 2025 will be about validating the program's position as a steady competitor in the Big Ten. While another 11-win season is a lot to expect, Cignetti needs to deliver a minimum of eight wins to keep the program's strong momentum. 5. Kirk Ferentz (Iowa Hawkeyes) Head Coaching Record: 204-124 (Iowa 1999-present) Analysis: Ferentz enters his 27th season leading the Hawkeyes. That is incredible longevity, especially considering the sport's drastic changes over the last decade-plus. He and the Hawkeyes continue to win amid those changes -- the program has not had a losing season since 2012 and hasn't won less than eight games in a non-COVID season since 2014. This No. 5 position should be renamed after Ferentz when his career finally concludes. Get more (Iowa) news, analysis and opinions on Hawkeyes Wire 4. Bret Bielema (Illinois Fighting Illini) Head Coaching Record: 125-80 (Wisconsin 2006-12, Arkansas 2013-17, Illinois 2021-present) Analysis: Bielema is back near the top tier of Big Ten coaches after a fantastic 2024 campaign, delivering Illinois its first 10-win season in 23 years. Winning at mid and bottom-tier programs is just as impressive as doing so at places with top-tier resources. Few coaches would be able to do what Bielema has done with the Illini. His standing near the top of the conference is clear, even if the team doesn't reach the CFP this season. 3. James Franklin (Penn State Nittany Lions) Head Coaching Record: 125-57 (Vanderbilt 2011-13, Penn State 2014-present) Analysis: Franklin finally broke through in 2024, leading Penn State to the doorstep of the national title game. Expectations are sky-high entering 2025, and rightfully so. The temperature surrounding Franklin's performance in big games has finally cooled. But Nittany Lions fans will still expect a further breakthrough. Get more (Penn State) news, analysis and opinions on Nittany Lions Wire 2. Dan Lanning (Oregon Ducks) Head Coaching Record: 35-6 (Oregon 2022-present) Analysis: Oregon's 2024 season should be viewed as a resounding success, even with the blowout loss to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. The Ducks were the one Big Ten newcomer to excel, going 12-0 in the regular season and defeating Penn State in the conference title game. Lanning has established himself in the select top tier of coaches, where the year-in, year-out expectation is national contention. Get more (Oregon) news, analysis and opinions on Ducks Wire 1. Ryan Day (Ohio State Buckeyes) Head Coaching Record: 70-10 (Ohio State 2018-present) Analysis: No other coach can headline this list after Day's run to the national title in 2024. He's now one of just three active college coaches with a national title under their belt, joining Georgia's Kirby Smart and Clemson's Dabo Swinney. Another deep run could start to bring Day into the conversation with those Tier 1 coaches.
