Episode Details

DePaul University has secured a significant addition to their basketball team with the signing of French center Wilson Jacques for the 2026-27 season. Jacques, a freshman transfer from Fresno State, made a splash in his rookie year, breaking the schools rebounding record with 240 boards and finishing second in the Mountain West. He started all 32 games, averaging 8.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, which ranked fifth nationally among first-year players. Coach Chris Holtmann is thrilled about the acquisition, describing Jacques as a productive frontcourt addition ready to make an impact in the Big East. Before his time in the U.S., Jacques dominated the French pro scene, earning Espoirs Elite U21 MVP honors and leading his team to the title. With Jacques arrival, DePauls frontcourt is set to become taller and more formidable.
