26. Denver NuggetsBennett Stirtz | 6-4 guard | 22 years old | IowaAfter a slow start, Stirtz dominated while leading Iowa to the Elite Eight. In his final 25 games, he averaged 21.5 points, 4.1 assists and made 47.2 percent of his shots from the field and 33.5 percent of his eight 3-point attempts
Linebacker from Iowa City just committed to Minnesota. 247 had him a 4 star and second best player in Iowa and apparently we didn’t offer??
Saw a post from HawkeyeWire that quoted the below from a CBS mock draft.Round 1 - Pick 18Charlotte Hornets:Bennett Stirtz, PG, Iowa, Sr., 6-foot-4, 190 poundsIt's very possible the Hornets go big here, but if not, it would make sense to solidify the backcourt. Stirtz is a highly skilled true point g

There was a good article in USA Today earlier this week where Matt Hayes writes another story on the current state of collegiate athletics.It starts off with Duke having recently signed a contract with Amazon to stream 3 BB games this coming season. What makes it interesting is that the ACC has a co
And why?May is a slow month. Let's fabricate some discussion. This seems like a 50/50 type response to me.
This was an interesting YouTube video. I first thought here we go with a bogus YouTube video, but a quick check of the info using my ChatGPT app surprisingly verified the stories. Although I would assume if the Ford Corporation ever got close to closing that the US government would bail them out ...
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. Iowa has log jam of 4 men anyway. Good for him though no hard feelings. He's given a generation of Hawk fans some

Megan has signed a 2 year deal with the Portland Fire. First year is worth $500,000 and the second $525,000. Happy for Megan to finally get a decent contract.
He kinda reminds me of CJB. He's a TN kid 6'2-6'3/205-210ish. Athletic can run some with a good enough arm. He comes from the burbs of Memphis.

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.
Chad L. Creates pretend depth chart since we won’t see an official one until the Monday prior to the opener. Really, really interesting analysis.
I found everything in this to be pretty fascinating. I skipped to the part about him but if you're a nerdy numbers guy there's a lot these guys put together. Long story short they think that Andrew in Bens system is going to get the most out of him. His strengths that he's shown so far married toget
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
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

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.
It is finally all coming together on offense, it seems. Tim Lester finally has his ingredients to create his recipe on offense. Iowa finally has a 3 headed threat on offense to keep defenses honest.Iowa now is a legit threat on the outside on both sides of the field with Reece Vander Zee on one side
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
Hopefully I didn't miss if thread was already started. If so, admin please delete.Was wondering about any observations or comments from those who attended the open practice. Seems to be crickets out here.Txs.
Connor announced he is leaving Butler. Thanked Thad Matta for the experience. No plans were shared, except CC was supportive and there was no sign of a change in their relationship. People Magazine picked up this story.
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
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.
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!
