I had this exact conversation with my neighbor the other night. At this point I think we have 4 serviceable tight ends when you throw Hamilton into the equation. I think from an athleticism and pass catching standpoint all the tools are there to make 3 TE sets very lethal. The big question...

Ingram makes the call for Big Ten iahawk72

At what point does an incoming player enter the athletic department's queue for random drug testing? I assume that once Hubbard was enrolled in classes and working out with the training staff he entered the queue. Pure speculation on my part but I would guess he failed a UA and Iowa had...

I found this link on another site and it was referenced because of Adam Woodbury was highlighted by Dave Telep from ESPN. What caught my eye is a 2013 big man prospect from Ohio. His brother plays football for the Hawkeyes. It says Michigan may be getting in on him but I wonder if Fran...

This probably won't be a popular comment for some but Matt Gatens will play the most minutes on the team this year. First, Fran loves the kid. Second, he was Iowa's defensive stopper late in the season and MG will benefit the most from Hubbard. AH will fill the role that Gatens has been forced...

I think the most important takeaway from the video is something he has been quoted as having said before. He is only going to sign good players. To me that is critical. Too often coaches will mistake quantity for quality at this stage of the recruiting game. One or two of these scholarships...

Any chance it is Sherman Dillard's son? Fran is recruiting him to keep it above board. iahawk72

Who is Dale Turner? And I am not sure that a program that trying to rebuild right now should be giving up home games especially by moving the game closer to your opponent's campus. iahawk72

Depending on how tomorrow goes for him there is a good chance that Eddie Podolak will call-in and be on Iowa's men's basketball pre-game show Wednesday evening with Gary Dolphin. They are hoping to have him on closer to 5pm so tune-in. iahawk72

The shot at the end of regulation is about the best shot you could hope for. That is Cartwright's shot. End of OT, not so much. iahawk72

I think great coaching. Fran and his staff is getting him to play the way a great point guard plays and that is using drives to the basket to find open guys. My points isn't that he can't be a assist-first PG, my point is that he isn't one naturally. Iowa wouldn't have won 2 Big Ten games...

It appeared from the replay that it was a foul. The problem I have with it is that the contact occurred on the half-court side of Taylor's head while the call came from the baseline. The ref making the call could not have seen the contact. When refs start making calls based on assumptions...

Here are my problems with it: 1. Cartwright is a drive and shoot PG 2. Cartwright is NOT a drive and dish or assist PG naturally 3. By not calling a TO you left the game in the hands of a PG who was mentally confused (see the hesitation and looking at the bench) before taking the last...

Michigan State coaches. Looks like he has made his choice. Was hoping to get him. I don't think this means he has signed because he can't until Wednesday but it is interesting that he is having them mail him his LOI. Doesn't look good. iahawk72

Jon, Good point. I will believe that Persa will be his old self by next fall when I see it. Achilles tears are brutal enough but for a guy who relies on his mobility as Persa does I think it will be two years before he returns to form and even then I am not sure he will ever be 100% the...

I tend to agree with the original poster on this. Maybe I am crazy but I have high standards for this program. I want this team to win bowl games against Top 15 opponents. I want athletic running backs that have 200 yard games. I want defensive backs that when they intercept the...

I am shocked that Iowa is below both Louisville and Wisconsin. Until this year and since 2002 I don't know that Wisconsin has finished ahead of Iowa in either the conference or national polls but maybe 1 time if that???? Seems odd. iahawk72

I think it is the function of two things. First, Brommer is seeing more playing time this year than any previous year and Coach Fran's system attacks the basket more than Lickliter's did. Couple those two things together and I think almost every player who was here under Lickliter and is...

Just in the first 3 1/2 minutes of this interview it sounds an awful lot like this type of biased interview (selling Arkansas, the SEC, etc.) wouldn't pass muster with the NCAA. Is there a compliance hotline or email that this can be referred to? iahawk72
