ANF Podcast is back with Tim Lester
In case you missed it. What makes this so great is Tim will talk openly and specifcly about what he does. I"ve become accustomed to bland say nothing bromide during the KF era. And this pod does a great job asking specific question - and letting the guest do the talking.
B1G expansion
A good friend of mine, who usually has some pretty good inside sources, is telling me the B1G may be looking to expand, sooner than later. The idea is to head off Congress and expand before they can weigh in and muck things up.He says they may be looking to go to 20 or 24.If they go to 24 the leadin

Brendan Hausen
I see that Brendan has been signed by Memphis, which is doing a real rosteer overhaul.Wouldn't that be something if he stuck with them. He could give BM all the credit for rounding out his game.
Ava Heiden
wants to take advantage of the new 5 year eligibility rule. Going to be a Hawkeye for 3 more years! That's great news for sure. Ava also was chosen for the 3/3 but declined or the Hawks would've had 2 on the team. Dani Carneigie is now playing in the 3/3 tournament.

No worries as we will just get the next dedicated lineman who wants to be in the NFL.MSN
Stirtz, Sandfort and Dix all on OKC roster
I see this morning that Josh Dix has been signed to as a UFA by OKC to a two-way contract.This means that he, Bennet Stirtz, and Payton Sandfort should all be on the OKC Vegas summer league team in July.I'd guess this will get a lot of press, 3 ex-Hawks playing together.
Recruiting grind to a halt
After a really good start we have almost been shut out in past several weeks. Finished second on a couple but it is starting to look like a bleak year for recruiting. I just wonder if Ferentz age is catching up? Well maybe the portal will be the answer

My Main Concern For This Year.
I really have a concern about depth at many positions/units. Iowa is coming into this season as not having the most experience (starters coming back) and Iowa has questions in many areas such as D line, O-line etc.. I do have concern filling these holes but even more having quality depth. I have con

Close on top WR
Britt who was a 4 star top WR chose Missouri over Iowa. We come close but WR continues to be maybe our toughest recruiting challenge. Probably need to continue to hit the portal to find some difference makers and hope we find a QB that can throw it to them!!
