Northwestern made the splash of its Class of 2025 on Oct. 9 when it picked up a commitment from Tre Singleton, winning the national recruiting battle for the 6-foot-8 forward over competition from Purdue, Louisville, Notre Dame and Virginia.
As Ricky Bobby would say, "If you ain't first, you're last," and Northwestern was the first high-major program to offer Singleton and host him for an official visit. Both had the staying power to make Singleton a Wildcat over time.
"That was pretty important for me," Singleton said. "It shows how much they really believed in me. You could say that they loved me at first sight."
