Looks like for baseball it's Keaton Anthony, Jacob Henderson, and two others who were not named. Anthony is big because he leads the team in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS. Henderson is a relief pitcher but has seen action. Not sure about the other two. But this could be ugly...

Looks like Season 5 is it. Possible spin off, but without Costner. Apparently some contractual issues with Costner about payment. I think they already said he is getting $1.5 million per episode. It's too bad too, because the show is solid as was the prequel.

Oooof! We don't need this. They weren't too specific on BTN during the baseball game. But made mention of Anthony's absence. I'm not anti-NIL, but you start giving 18 year old athletes money, it tends to bleed into other potential avenues. It's Pandora's box. And with sports betting blowing up...

I believe we recruited him out of high school. So hopefully there was a relationship there that helped him commit. Regardless, it's a huge get for us and it appears on paper we have addressed some of the glaring issues. Hopefully it also allows for us to open the playbook a bit more. Not that...

That's a tough call. But I'm assuming for some reason things didn't work out at tOSU. Playing time? Being surpassed or buried in depth chart. He very well would likely walk in and have potential to be our WR1 due to the lack of raw talent in our receivers room. The question is, is he a fit...

Eh maybe with Brohm leaving a new coach and style facilitated this. But you're a 100% right about the likelihood of a top tier receiver coming to Iowa.

Bahahahaha! I about spit my coffee out reading the minivan line!!! Epic!!!

That's the thing. Iowa is who Iowa is. Teams all know exactly what we are going to do. It's about execution, which in most years starts with the trenches. Uncharacteristically, the O-line (due to youth, inexperience and guys leaving) has been an deficiency. The D is no different. Base defense...

I think it almost has to be in the playbook for double tights with the questions about our receivers. Fant and Hockensen wreaked havoc on defenses. And don't sleep on Ostrenga. I think it was an interview with Lachey boasting about how good Ostrenga's hands were. I definitely think with past...

What's great about this type of rotation is the constant pressure we can put on an offense. It's not just the idea of a body subbing in but there's a lot of talent there as well. As just noted, LVN benefitted even though he didn't start. This could very easily be a selling point to a future...

Agreed! I think Graves has a motor that reminds me of Jared DeVries.

I think Benson has a lot of upside. Overshadowed obviously by Campbell, but I think he can stick around. Who knows, maybe he plays alongside The Outlaw.

I think one thing that might help some of these guys is the reputation that our guys do the fundamentals very well. You hear all the time, that our guys may not be as athletic, but they tackle, block, and are usually in position to make a play. This may bode well for a role on special teams if...

Welp, Van Lith to LSU. I figured she was either going to SC or LSU.

I don't disagree and from a fan or observation standpoint, you are 100% correct, but we are talking about athletes. Type A personalities. A lot of athletes have been "The Show" at their perspective high school or possibly at other programs. That treatment and status becomes a bit intoxicating...

I think the first comment speaks volumes. If you look at the focus of the offense, it's centered around CC and sprinkled in contributions from other role players. I think there was a stat that CC was involved somehow in 80% (or maybe higher) of the Hawkeyes scoring in some way. It's no fault of...

I'm really hoping the O-line takes care of itself. Take away couple years and I think Iowa still has a strong rep for lineman and the potential to play at the next level. I am hopeful they mesh and become a strength again. As for the receiving corp....as previously mentioned, it's a hard sell...

Any way you slice it, it can be a tough convo, and can be spun by someone. Have a honest conversation with a kid and letting them know their future playing time is going to be limited with the program's success. Someone could easily see that as pushing a lesser talented player out. Fry is not...

Curious also if there is competition there as well? Didn't we get a transfer from Miami of Ohio that was a grad transfer that has ties to Barnett? Either way, I am hoping for a much improved and cohesive line. I think we go as the O-line goes. Sounds like McNamara is settling in nice and...

Hoping Logan was able to take some big strides forward. I think with all of the different issues last year, it's easy to forget that not only was it is first college football experience, but also a new position. At center, too. Sounds like he put in the work, let's hope the Hawkeyes reap the...
