It is a busy time. We got a lot going on. The portal open for football and basketball. We wrap up the final week of football and spring practice. We're gonna be hearing from Scott Dockerman a little bit later on today. We're gonna talk with Doc about all the comings and goings in the transfer portal

Starting point is 00:01:20 and we are also going to take a look a little bit later on in the program today with a huge weekend in baseball for the Iowa baseball team a sweep on the road at Michigan not just solidifying themselves at the top of the Big Ten but helping their computer numbers the RPI going the way of the Hawkeyes and some good news there as Iowa tries to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament but we begin today's program with a look at the transfer portal from the basketball side of things

Starting point is 00:01:49 after Iowa has nabbed a commitment officially from Alvaro Fulgaris out of Spain. He played the last two seasons at Robert Morris. That's where he began his eligibility. This is a really good get for Ben McCollum. You start with some of the teams that were after him. Villanova, Providence, couple of big E schools and you know as we've talked about in the

Starting point is 00:02:10 past a lot of those big E schools have a pretty big step forward, an opportunity for them because they don't have football and that means that their NIL budget, the people that are investing in their programs, well, where are they going to be spending their money? It's for the most part men's basketball and certainly gives them a leg up when you look at programs like Villanova, like Crate, like Xavier and the amount of money that they invest. It's a big leg up and certainly a big advantage

Starting point is 00:02:38 there. Now, Providence was not one of the more wheel-heeled ones and they got a commitment from another big guy that I was off after in Duke Brennan who autographed Canyon that they were looking at but he made his commitment to Villanova that aside though let's get into it here and take a peek at what I was going to be getting with Fool Garris and that's what it is though it is just F-O-L it is then the pronunciation guy that was handed out to us Fool Garris is how you pronounce his last name. So, six foot nine two fifty. Very skilled offensive player. He is

Starting point is 00:03:10 really your prototypical kind of euro guy that you think about. Great shooting ability. Can do it with a little bit of finesse. A step through. There are a couple of highlights you saw. What we call the euro step. The step through maneuvers that he had. Skilled, played well in the game against Alabama in the NCAA tournament when Robert Morris put the number two seed on the ropes and had them right there for a while, an opportunity, one of the few upsets in the early going of the NCAA tournament. He looked the part in that one. He scored 15 and 10 in that game

Starting point is 00:03:40 against Alabama. Now he's not a banger. He's not a rim protector. That's not what you're getting here with fool Garris. And I still believe that Iowa probably needs more as it pertains to the side and kind of size in the way that they're built. Is that is something that is definitely going to be impactful, I believe for this Iowa team and what they're going to be and what they're going to look like if they're going to be a team that is going to be able to win with defense and win on that end of the floor,

Starting point is 00:04:05 I still think there is a little bit more that needs to be done in order to get to that mark. But mention a shooting ability. So this is a 41% three-point shooter. So a guy that is skilled like that, that can shoot it from the outside in the way that I was going to play, the way that Iowa wants to play in the Ben McCollum system, I think, makes a ton of sense. You think of the pick and roll, the pick and pop game that they're going to play, the way that Iowa wants to play in the Ben McCollum system, I think makes

Starting point is 00:04:25 a ton of sense. You think the pick and roll, the pick and pop game that they're going to be able to have, just the way that this is going to be set up, I think is incredibly good. This for me pushes this now, my expectation level right now, baseline level, is there going to be a tournament team in year number one? And I understand, there's plenty of people out there that say that's too much. You're going through a rebuild, you look at the roster, it's not even close to set. You are bringing in a bunch of players from the mid-major, even low-major level. They're not going to be able to compete in the Big Ten right away. I'm a believer. Or maybe it's me sipping the Kool-Aid of Ben McCollum. That very well could be the case. I believe in the system. I believe in him as a coach. From the number of people that we have talked to and heard

Starting point is 00:05:08 from, and the conversations, real basketball people, college basketball people, the things they say about Ben McCullum. He's taking his program, he's lifted it up, and he just moved it in a couple hours east. And to have the five great guys, but most importantly, of course, is bringing in Bennett Sturtz. But to do that, to be able to hit the ground running where it's not teaching a whole new crew, it's not teaching a whole new group. When you look at experience and

Starting point is 00:05:38 guys and just the knowledge base that you grow as a coach with somebody after getting through and going through a season and how you can build upon that. And we see in this season in college basketball, right? What happened this year? It was teams that were veteran. It was teams that played together. Look at that Florida team, very experienced team. And yes, they brought in new parts and there were new faces. And that's going to be the case in everybody in college basketball going forward. But you saw Houston, Florida, teams that were together, teams that know each other, teams that most importantly were veteran, they were able to win. Now that's not to say that I was going to be a final four contender and you're number one. I think that is silly, but I do believe that they're

Starting point is 00:06:19 going to be in contention to be an NCAA tournament team. That is the minimum baseline. Remember, this Iowa team this year, as disappointing as they were, as frustrating as the season one, and as banged up as they were, they still had a chance to run things down. They had an opportunity, even as bad as things were, to go on a little bit of a run and to potentially put themselves in consideration. Look around and look around the blueprint. Look at the teams that get into the tournament late, year after year now. That is going to happen in my mind for this Iowa team. Alvaro Fulgaris is a Hawkeye. The way that he sets up in this Iowa offense

Starting point is 00:06:56 is going to be great. So you got the Drake Holdovers, the guys that came along with it, Cooper Koch coming back. But what is remaining? What do they still need? Atul Sen, the Utah Valley transfer, he ended up committing to TCU. So they're still in the market for a shooter. And I think that is going to be probably the main, if you're talking about money, that's probably the main spot that it's going to be. If you're still looking at those lists, top available transfers, guys that have some Iowa interest, those kind of things,

Starting point is 00:07:24 I think another shooter might be higher on the pecking list now than another big, but they do need another big. They absolutely need a big body rim protector. You're looking for that guy very much like what you got late in the season from Evan Bronze. They like somebody maybe a little bit taller, there may be that kind of six foot 11 frame. They're not a dime a dozen. They're not cheap. Big guys just in general. But really what you're looking for

Starting point is 00:07:50 is not a skilled offensive player. You're looking for a defender. You're looking for five files a game, a guy that can come in. And when you're going up against a behemoth from Purdue or Michigan State or a big guy that's just eating you alive, you're looking for that player that can come in and impact the game in that fashion. Maybe not a starter, maybe as a starter.

Starting point is 00:08:09 So how does the starting lineup look for Iowa basketball? That's something we're gonna dissect a little bit more as we make our way throughout this week. Two big guys now, Manoit and Fulgaris, can both of those guys play together? One at the four, one at the five, vice versa. They're both basically fours, but you play them together. Is that a route you can go? can both of those guys play together? One at the four, one at the five, vice versa. They're both basically fours, but you play them together.

Starting point is 00:08:28 Is that a route you can go? Can Cooper Koch play the small four position? I think that's another thought of the way that this team is going to be built. And what does it mean for guys like Tabion Banks and how he's going to fit in and who's going to be alongside the Sturts in the backcourt? Obviously we know that and the K-State transfer on what they're going to get and the way that they're going to be built on that front. So there's a ton going on. It's a great time and this was the big one. This was the big one that still remained out there to get a quality big and Iowa was able to do just that. One more basketball note for you is Iowa, the tournament that they're going to be playing in coming up this year in year number one of the Ben McCollum era. This is from the University of Iowa and the announcement from the university saying this, they will be playing in the 2025 Acuture Series, that is November 25th and 26th in Palm Desert, California. This will be a two-game event. So not an 18 bracket, nothing like

Starting point is 00:09:23 that. This will just be a two game event. Other teams that are involved include Colorado, Minnesota, not going to play the Gophers likely, Utah, Stanford, Washington, another Big Ten team, San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Jose State, Cal Baptist, San Diego, Nevada, Steve Hulford, Loyola Tulsa, and you and I, the other programs that are involved. So no matchups at this point, but Iowa will be playing two games out in California November 25th and 26th. Looking forward to that as we get our eyes on this Iowa basketball team. Not just basketball, we got to talk some football. Scott Dockerman is going to join us. We're going to talk a little bit to Doc about what is happening in the world of the Hawkeyes.

Go to the Hawkeye front, Bryce George over on Friday made his commitment to the Hawkeyes. Now conflicting reports.

Starting point is 00:11:58 Some people say it is no way he can make the jump from D2 and become a left tackle in the big 10. Other people believe that's what it is. What did you read in and do you believe that this is a guy that can come in and compete for that left tackle spot because they certainly don't have any experience over there. Absolutely can. And I think, uh, you know, I, I give somebody the name Ryan Ramshack was at, uh, what? D3 Wisconsin, take your pick, whatever city I can't remember.

Starting point is 00:12:22 I think he's just retired too, did he not? I think he's just retired. Yeah. So, you know, and then he went to the Badgers and then became a first rounder in one year went from D three to starting in the big 10. And I think Bryce George has the kind of ability and the success and he's, he's not a project. I mean, he's, he's built himself in there and he's, you know, I, and I would say Ferris state is much more closer to an FCS program, um, or even a G five program than they are, you know, just a D two per se. So I think, uh, no, he's definitely fits in there. And now whether or not he starts at left tackle or they shuffled the deck a little bit, or maybe he kicks inside, you know, that remains to be seen.

Starting point is 00:13:03 And that's what you've got to, that's why you pay your offensive line coach and why your head coach is an offensive line guru. But I do think that he's going to start, he's going to be a very successful player for Iowa. He is a very good offensive line. Yeah. I mean, Quinn Miners went from Wisconsin Whitewater to the all pro right guard in the span of like three years. So if you're going to play, they're going to find you. And I think they've got a good one here, doc. What else do you think? Seemingly there's more buzz positive wise

Starting point is 00:13:33 around the wide receiver position than we've heard in some time. Now the bar hasn't been set real high, as you know, last couple of years and part of that falls on the quarterback. Do you think that this is warranted that there may be, this might be a breakout year for the wide receiver group at Iowa? Yeah, I think it's fair for everybody to be skeptical, hopefully not cynical about it,

Starting point is 00:13:55 but I do think that they have made some strides. And from what I've talked to a few people on the other side of the ball, they've said they've given us all that we can handle for spring on offense, which is really a good sign for Iowa that here they are in their, you know, this offense that was so bad for so long is now being very competitive with the, with a usually a pretty good defensive defense in the big 10. And of course it brings questions to the other side, like how good are you, but we'll find out a little more on Saturday, I I suppose but I think overall the receivers are improved that is for sure that they have now an influx of guys who are you know some of them that are much more experienced some are new and I think overall

Starting point is 00:14:38 you know they're going to find three or four who could play and if you have a quarterback like Mark Grunowski then you're going to have the opportunity to move the ball through the air, which is something we haven't seen in a long time in Iowa City. Doc, I remember even before Mark Grunowski was in the portal, you brought up Mark Grunowski. You've watched this guy. What is it about him? Take us back to that time and why you believe because listening to you, Doc, now these last few months it feels like you're kind of all in that Mark Mark Gornowski's the quarterback that they need. Why is it that you think this is gonna be a good fit? He can hit every throw, Trent.

Starting point is 00:15:11 He's got every factor that you're looking for in a good quarterback. You know, he's tough, he's physical, he's durable, he played through a torn labrum, I believe it was, late last year, and didn't play his best football, but he played good enough. I mean, they got those national semifinals. And he's got the X factor that all good quarterbacks have, which is he's able to make plays in

Starting point is 00:15:34 clutch moments. And he's been able to do that for a long, long time. But then you look at the physical attributes. He's capable of running. He can run. He's not required to run because he can throw the entire route tree. He can throw the curl, the slant, the out, but he also can throw the deep ball, which Iowa has a handsome Stanley that can do it consistently.

Starting point is 00:15:54 Patris had the arm, just missed a lot. And even Nate missed a lot of those deep throws. But I think Gronowski is much more accurate down the field. So you have those elements. Plus he has been in an offense that has similar same verbiage that this one does. So he's not walking in. I mean, it's, it's different. It's probably like, uh, going from Bavaria to Berlin and types of German, but

Starting point is 00:16:19 still the same background. I think he's got every kind of intangible and tangible quality that that can help Iowa be very successful at that position And you throw in a really good offensive line that just got better You know an ascending wide receiver core a good tight end a couple of good running backs, you know this this Offense, I mean it averaged, you know 12 plus points more per game last year, year over year without a passing offense. I think that you can get this offense could hit 30 plus next year without any problems. Yeah, the defense has been the story going into the year, the season last few years, maybe the tables have turned and we're talking about this offense carrying this team this year.

Starting point is 00:17:00 Doc, give me a Hawkeye that you're going to be watching Thursday, probably not Thursday, but Friday or Saturday to see if they get their name called. Uh, is there one, um, you know, draft eligible that may or may not get drafted or late in the late round pick? Who would that person be that you're going to be watching where they fall or if they have to wait to sign as a free agent? I think Jermari Harris is the most interesting one because he did opt out two games left in the season. And I wrote about him last week with opt outs and including Cam Ward and just how much the NFL takes a look at it. And how do they view what he did late in the year? Do they view it as non-factor or as a negative?

Starting point is 00:17:46 Because if it's a non-factor, then Jermon Harris might be a fifth round pick. If they view it as a negative, then somebody may think a flyer on him in the seventh round, or maybe they'll just wait to make him a free agent. So I think how they view him is, to me, the most fascinating part. There's a couple of other players. I think Connor Colby is a late guy. Jay Higgins is probably a sixth round player, which they could both play past their rounds and stuff.

Starting point is 00:18:10 So I think they're guys to watch. Y.A. Black is another one. Sebastian Castro, I think they're more in the, anywhere from third to fifth round range. But largely, Jamari Harris just interests me because of kind of the baggage that he's going into into this draft. We know Caleb Johnson's going to more than likely be the top pick out of the Hawkeye group that's going to go.

Starting point is 00:18:32 When you look at Caleb and you look at him making that jump to the next level, an incredibly deep running back draft. How does he fit for you as you've looked through some of the other prospects? I think he's the third best running back prospect. And I, you know, and there's a lot that are pretty close. So I mean, it's, it's really about preference and what we know from him and what we've seen is he's a one cut go guy that works really well in zone or gap. So whatever your main style is, whatever you're majoring in, is it off at your line and a block scheme? He works well.

Starting point is 00:19:03 It's mostly zone that he is, you know, physical, durable, doesn't have a lot of wiggle, and is a good route runner or pass catcher, but not necessarily as his forte. So it's really gonna be how does he fit in your offense and what you want from him. And I think in most offenses, probably 26 out of 32, he'd be perfect. And I think Chicago and Dallas are two that come to mind

Starting point is 00:19:27 in the early second round as teams that he really fits well in what they want to do. And if not, he don't float around, but he's going to be a second round guy. I think he's in the top 50. And I like Hampton a little bit better because he has all of his skills, the same skills as Johnson does, except he's got a little more wiggle because he has all of his skills, the same skills as Johnson

Starting point is 00:19:45 does, except he's got a little more wiggle to him, I suppose. It may be a little more active in the passing game. But I think Caleb Johnson, if he gets in the right offense, he can be not only a thousand yard back right away, but be on the verge of a Pro Bowl. I mean, if he gets in with a lot of really good blocking going for him. Doc, my last thing for you. When do you think we'll start to get some scheduled nuggets, maybe prime time games, et cetera?

Starting point is 00:20:08 When do you, when do they'll start trickling out? It seems like, you know, late April into May, we start to get a couple of little, nuggets that we can chew on. I would say one might be like last year was I look at this moment, the Kentucky Derby was what announced that Penn State and West Virginia would be the first, I think, prime time game on NBC. And so I think that what we could see is maybe

Starting point is 00:20:34 in the Kentucky Derby, you might see Penn State, Oregon being a whiteout state college at the end of September is probably one that I would point to as maybe getting leaked or thrown out there. And then, you know, they just kind of drag it out. college at the end of September is probably one that I would point to is maybe getting leaked or thrown out there. And then, you know, they just kind of drag it out. I would expect Fridays to be in early May, maybe mid May after they have their meetings. And then,

Starting point is 00:20:55 and then usually right around Memorial weekend is when you get the first three weeks of, of games. Final thing for Scott Dockerman on the basketball front, Iowa got a big, not your traditional center, but, uh, Alvaro Fulgaris is his name, Spaniard from Robert Morris. Feels like a good fit for what they're going to do. Are they still believe looking for another big or can they kind of go to this? We're going to play maybe a couple of undersized guys together. Can that work in the big 10, the roster, as it's currently structured?

Starting point is 00:21:26 I like, I think they need to get one more physical presence in the middle and it doesn't have to be really anybody other than takes up space, gets a couple rebounds, fouls somebody a couple of times a game. I think they do need that because it is such a physical league, but this is a really good four slash five. I mean, you look at what he's able to do, Horizon League MVP, and really good score inside and outside.

Starting point is 00:21:52 I mean, he's your prototypical stretch four. And I think in this offense and the efficiency with which they play, he is an outstanding get for Iowa. I mean, they've done a remarkable job in the portal getting guys who fit what they want to do, not just guys because you need bodies. And so I think they do need probably another five. They could probably use another shooter. Definitely a second point guard, which Ben McCombs said on TV show I'm on on Monday nights on Iowa live that he's looking for a second point guard as well, some big body. So I would expect

Starting point is 00:22:26 that to be part of it, but they're really putting themselves in a good position. You know, and tonight we have Jan Jensen on our TV show. And so we'll see what she has to say because I think they are, you know, kind of getting in a, I wouldn't say desperate, but maybe urgent need to find a point guard because they're starting to really dry up on the market. What time is that show we are on as you know, statewide, do I promote that bad boy for us? Yeah, 630 on KCRG 9.2. This week, well, last week we had Ben McCollum, this week we have Jan Jensen, and next week we close out the season with Kirk Ferent. So yeah, it's me and Chelsea

Starting point is 00:23:00 Brown from KCRG. And we'll have Jan on tonight talking about her first season as head coach and the prospects of the next season coming up. Great stuff there from Scott Dockerman of the Athletic and always appreciate the time of Doc. Well, great news in the transfer portal for Iowa basketball as we talked about potentially more news coming for the football team in the portal on the field though.

Starting point is 00:25:14 And I got you covered on the Hawkeye front. Glad to have you with us today. So the weekend that was for Iowa baseball. We touched on it just a little bit on Friday night after Iowa got off to a good start, got the victory against the Wolverines. And you know, we were talking getting a series win, just how important that was going to be for this team, potentially maintaining their spot in the top of the Big 10. But to go out and get the sweep against a very solid Michigan team. Look, this isn't a lead team. This isn't a lock NCAA tournament

Starting point is 00:25:44 team, anything like that. But this is a team that was up in the top third of the Big Ten and Iowa went in there and they beat them really three different ways. The biggest part about this though is what happened in their RPI. So Iowa jumps up in the RPI. They are now up to 57th in the country going into Monday, sitting at 25 and 11 overall on the year. That incredible mark in the Big Ten putting them in first places they rose 34 points in the RPI and now this is a team that very well needs to be considered an NCAA tournament team. So at 17 and four in the Big Ten they sit in front of UCLA, Oregon, USC and Washington. Most of the next

Starting point is 00:26:24 teams the four teams, of course, from the West Coast that came in this year. On top of it, Iowa, they have an even bigger opportunity to improve that resume. So it continues with the Indian, excuse me, coming to town this weekend. The midweek game against St. Thomas, that's a team that's 129 of the RPI. That can be at least a little bit of a boost. They go to Washington. We saw what road series do. The neutral series against Oregon State. That'll be here in Des Moines played at Principal Park and then wrapping up against Oregon. Oregon State is now third in the country. Oregon is ranked 16th. Talk about big opportunities. I was going to have that. But a great weekend

Starting point is 00:27:03 that was great to see John, but a great weekend that was great to see John Leo. He's had a couple of clips up of the last calls of the game, six, five in game one, three, two on Saturday, and then seven, four on Sunday to complete the sweep, get it done. Four runs in the top of the ninth inning to put that one away. The bullpen's been tremendous. We talked a little bit about Kate Obermuller, who had some struggles and something that we just rarely see out of him. The Friday night starter for the Hawkeyes. This team is cooking and they got a little swagger going to them. A lot of fun, a lot of local kids. It doesn't matter what part of the state. There's going to be a local kid out there

Starting point is 00:27:37 from your area of the state. It shows you again the job that Rick Heller does year after year with this baseball program. I understand last year was a disappointment. The expectations something that just so rarely happens for Iowa baseball, and it didn't work. Brought in a new pitching coach. That's definitely clicking. You can see that both with the bullpen, which was an issue last year, and even in that rotation, and how good they have been coming up with timely hits playing ball and just 40 dudes having fun. That's been the calling card this year and
