Notre Dame baseball adds Lucas Jones to its coaching staff
During his first two seasons with Notre Dame baseball, Shawn Stiffler has led the Irish to a 57-49 record. He knows this isn’t good enough for the program and with that made a move on Thursday to bolster his coaching staff. Lucas Jones was hired as an assistant coach as he will help on the infield along with base-running. Jones previously was at the University of Lynchburg, where he had been the head coach since 2017. He was extremely successful in his tenure, as he was named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2021. In 2023, Jones guided his team to a National Championship.

2025 four-star power forward recruit lists Notre Dame on final five
Notre Dame does not yet have a commit for its 2025 recruiting class. However, one four-star power forward recruit from Indianapolis could change that. We’ll just have to see. Brady Koehler, who attends Cathedral, has narrowed his choice to five schools, including the Irish. Also on the list are Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Iowa and Northwestern. He has visits lined up with each school. Notre Dame’s visit, the third chronically on his itinerary, happening from Sept. 6 through Sept. 8. Koehler is listed as Indiana’s fourth-ranked recruit in the 2025 recruiting class according to 247Sports. That site also indicates that the Demon Deacons are the favorites to land him. However, Cathedral has also the Fighting Irish as its mascot along with the Blue and Gold as its colors, so maybe that’s an advantage for Micah Shrewsberry and his staff? Koehler is coming off a season in which he averaged 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks a game. That will catch the attention of any college program.
