Pollard: Let the Big10 and SEC Break Away
Interesting quote. Probably not making him very popular in a lot of places. As much as I think he is a windbag used car salesmen who should buy a house with PJ Fleck, not sure he is wrong. The financial models between the SEC/Big10 and everyone else is too disparate from the other conferences. E
Bennett Stirtz in the NBA
Alright, perhaps it's time to pivot off the McCaffery's for a while. That might be the healthy thing to do.Let's talk Bennett. Wonder how you feel he will do in the NBA and what kind of role or career he will end up having? Where do you think he will get drafted. He will be one of the highest drafte
Bria Medina
Great article by Chad Leistikoon on Bria in hawkcentral today.Bria is already a fan favorite! You can just tell.No agent, she almost passed out when Iowa contacted her, what's not to like.One thought I keep having is that at 5'6" she won't even be the shortest player on the team!!go hawks

Iowa purchased the NCAA Elite Eight Court for Carver Hawkeye Arena
The old court was installed in 2016. The court will still be named Mediacom Court. The Dept. will preserve the old court and plans to create a commemorative memorabilia for the fans and supporters. I might add that this is the court the Men's team played on.
Hawks add two more players
Hawks added Bria Medina a 5’6” guard from Knox college. She is a leading scorer from the D3 school with 3 years experience. They also added Ella Stromdahl a 6’ wing from Sweden. She is a freshman who has played on the 16 and 18 under teams along with a European Club Team. Both just finished visits t

For Boredom .......
Any thoughts about dual quarterbacks?? It is a possibility ... I know we're all waiting for the next Chuck Long, but it may be a good strategy. More likely needed due to injury or performance anyway.
Ferentz adds Tom Moore to staff
Not sure what his duties will be. Maybe just a grandfatherly influence
Bennett Stirtz projected #26 Pick to the Denver Nuggets

BS and the draft

Alvaro is in the portal
It's officially official now he has gotten in. Not a huge surprise for those keeping up with it. He's got offers out there that Iowa either can't match or shouldn't based on other needs.

NCAA Tournament Expanding.
Well, is reported the tourney is going to 76 teams with an expanded play-in. What a crock of chit. Nobody but the NCAA and big conferences want this. All it does is water down the regular season, just like in football. I don't like it.

Hawks Ranked 21 preseason by The Athlete...Hot Damn...
21. Iowa (9-4) (20)What will decide Iowa’s season is whether the offense can continue to hover around 30 points per game while breaking in a new starting quarterback, whether that’s Jeremy Hecklinski or Hank Brown. One of the two contenders will have the luxury of playing in front of a loaded backf
Did anyone watch QB vids from saturday ?
Neither one looked extremely sharp, lots a wobblers and missed targets , timing wasnt great either .This is with no real pressure. If it came down to who looked better it was probably Hank. Now saying this I dont mean to say they looked horrible but kind expected more hard accurate short passes and

Rumor Has It. - Dylan Riaola
I have heard from a couple sources that Dylan Raiola is entertaining entering the transfer portal. His brother Dayton recently announced he was leaving and there are stories mentioning Alabama may be going after Dylan. Will be interesting to watch. I kind of wondered after seeing Dayton was leaving.
Finally! Finally! Finally!
It is finally all coming together on offense, it seems. Tim Lester finally has his ingredients to create his recipe on offense.

Ryan Fitzgerald and Mason Woods
When thinking about it, it's a very odd situation. You have two players of coaches who are on the Iowa Hawkeyes and the coaches are at an entirely different school. Even more ironic is that the two coaches are at the exact same school. I'd have to presume that has never happened before in college fo

Banks declares for Draft and portal
Just read this not sure how true it is .
Is Ben Still Looking in the Portal?
Roster limits are 15.We have 10 guys returning. 2 incoming freshmen. 2 portal additions. And presumably Ben is holding a spot for Banks if the NCAA capitulates on JUCOs. So, is he done?IMHO, we are still a scoring guard short. We are now set at center with McKeever, Manua and Jarik, and we are
