Audie Crooks in transfer portal
That surprises me. She would have gone down as a legend in Ames, now it will be complicated. It will be interesting who takes a shot on her. Very talented in her unique way, but if you bring her in, you need to be willing to build your system around her because she cannot fit in most systems.
Portal news, rumors, wishlist...
I've heard G Finley Bizjack (Butler) name mentioned, as well as G Isaiah Johnson (Colorado). Also C Andrew McKeever (St. Mary's) Need to see some visits lined up to settle my nerves. So hyped and anxious for '26-'27 season already!
Hannah and the draft
With the draft today, I haven't seen Hannah listed at all in any of the mock drafts I've seen. I thought she had an outside shot at getting drafted.Some have suggested she might get a shot as a development player. The new CBA created 2 roster spots on each that are in addition to the full roster, mu
Louisville BB
Cannot absolutely confirm, but a short time ago on College Sports radio, an announcer said that Louisville had signed two highly ranked players through the portal. The price tag was reportedly $13 million for these two. Now Alvaro has signed with Louisville. Hmm.
Lots of Portal Action
But I haven’t seen anything about Iowa. I really expected we could pick up some talent in the portal after such a great run in the tournament. Anyone heard anything?
Teagan Mallegni
Not a surprise here. Teagan has hit the portal.
Amari Whiting
Couldn't help looking a bit into Amari's background.She's from a town of 11,000, Burley, in the middle of nowhere Idaho, 170 miles SE of Boise. Her mother, Aman da, was her high school coach, and she was Idaho player of the year twice and won a state title.What was really interesting to me was that

Favorite Hawkeye pre-KF
Who were your favorite Hawkeye football players pre-KF era? Could be the most spectacular players, the toughest, the guy whose jersey you owned, a guy who shook your hand after a game...whatever drew you to the player.So, who were some of your favorites? Why? And who would you compare them to from t

About as uninspiring a hire as it gets. A wrestler that never rose to the occasion is now coaching a program that’s been doing the same.

Connor to coach at Iowa?
Anyone hear he is coming back to coach with Ben? I laughed when I saw it....doubt its true.
What The F Is Wrong With Connor McCaffery?
Geesus, have you ever encountered a more thin-skinned clan than the McCaffery's. Connor played all four years at Iowa, given an opportunity, his dad was able to make generational $$$$ from Iowa and he acts like a little petulant bitch. Unreal. He obviously is keeping CC from commenting on the men's

NCAA Championship Game
I hope I'm not missing one, but I didn't see any post regarding the culmination of the season we've all just discussed, so here's one. Besides having what seems to be an inordinate amount of fouls called, I have to think this was the sloppiest Championship game I can remember, and that covers a lot
Bo Nickal
This is not a minor thing.I think I have a pretty good indication that Tom was told to make a change and this wasn't just BT deciding he didn't want to coach anymore. He was only making $50K so that's part of it no doubt, but you don't just replace a Bobby Telford with a guy like Nickal out of nowhe
Which 1-year guy would you like to have back?
We had both of these guys for 1 year, but you get one of these guys for 1 more year. Which would you choose?I'm a football guy all the way and am a very casual basketball fan, so I'd love to see Gronowski have a full spring and summer this year.
Final BB Rankings
AP anyway.....Lol @ one comment (AP = Almost Plausible)Comment away.
Ben told UNC nope
It's being reported by Matt Norlander that UNC did contact coach McCollum and told him they wanted to interview him. However Ben said thanks but no thanks I'm home.... You think he'll use that on the recruiting trail from now till eternity?
This run should get us our Bennett Stritz replacement
What do you think?? We haven't had to rely solely on Bennett during this run which bodes vey nicely for us !! ( not saying even his presence helps) If these guys come back as a group with this solid big ten season under thier belt, stronger and knowing how the league plays and we get a scorer ev
Geno went full Geno
My god... Dude just can not handle losing. His interview during the game was a complete bitch fest about the refs and then he did the cardinal sin of bitching about the other coach Staley and how she was talking to the refs. He didn't seem to like that she did that. I guess only he can. I've never s
Last Tourney Game At Carver Today --- Ever?
The answer is "No" for now, but I found FDU coach presser comments interesting. She said Jan congratulated her on FDU season and added, " 'This is why we gotta get off the home courts. We gotta go neutral.' " I did a cursory look back at NCAA women' tourney and sites. It appears prior to 2018-2

O-Line
Listened to the latest Legends and Listeners with Doc and Chad. It made me more confident in Iowa's O-line next year, said Pieper may have been the best lineman last year. Also very high on LBs, D-Line is another story but everyone knows that.

Welp, there will be a house divided here come Saturday.Me: started following Iowa in 1970. From Hampton Iowa. Still vividly remember listening to the last second BB loss to Jacksonville on WHO.

The portals officially open Monday and it likely will get wild and crazy. Let's hope the Hawks successfully fill some of their needs.I saw a post on X the last couple days that may have some legs.Nolan Groves, who I'd never heard of, is entering the portal. He just finished his freshman year at Texa

Bruce Pearl and Jalen Rose post game
Apologies if this has already been mentioned on one of the threads, but the post game with Pearl and Rose was surreal to me. It felt like Bruce Pearl was literally in my text thread with high school buddies or sitting next to me on the couch.There, on national TV, within minutes of the biggest Hawke

Starting about 5 minutes after the lincoln city dumpsterfires lost that game, I got flooded with texts from nebraska fan associates of mine. I can't call them friends because it makes me dry heave...Anywhoo...the texts were mostly about how the refs gave us the game because they weren't supposed to

CBS Sports Predictions
Interesting quote.The Hawks have not had fewer than 8 wins since 2014. That is a string of 10 consecutive seasons in which the Hawks have won at least 8 games.In 6 of those years Iowa won at least 9 games. And in 4 seasons the Hawks had at least 10 wins.So, of course, the experts predict 7.5 wins fo
How did Indiana get to where Iowa wants to be
What Indiana has done is amazing to me, I did not think it was possible for a non power to do what they have done.Coaching - I have total respect for Ferentz & staff, most all players love him, develop under program, many end up in NFL as 2 ,3, 4 stars.Coaching philosophy - win line of scrimmag

That UConn win over Duke was incredible. Coming back after down 19. Shooting 1-18 from 3 until late and winning on a steal and long 3 at the buzzer.Not that I am a UCONN fan but I love seeing Duke go down.Maybe gives Illinois a better chance. Would be great to see an all Big Ten Final
