Well, a lot going on in the world of Hawkeye athletics. We're gonna talk a little bit later on about those first place Iowa baseball team. Unbelievable as they get the sweep over the weekend and it must move things up a little bit against Minnesota, but they get the sweep against the Gophers goes the other way for the softball team. We'll talk about that a

Starting point is 00:01:14 little bit later on. We got a lot of portal conversation. Plus we're going to be talking with Scott Dockerman from the athletic. We're going to get his thoughts on the hiring of Ben McCollum, the newest Iowa men's basketball coach, where he lands after being at the press conference a week ago, where Iowa goes from here on that front. And of course, we'll talk some football with Scott Dockerman as well as spring practice is underway and some intriguing position battles for the Iowa football team. But we begin today with the transfer portal. Yes, each and every year this thing gets more and more crazy and more and more important. holdovers, and there's guys that will transfer for the most part. You got a pretty good baseline. You look at the Iowa roster. It's Bennett Sturtz. Great. It's now Cooper Koch, and we'll get to his return here momentarily. And then there's a whole lot of question marks.

Starting point is 00:02:22 That's what it is. We have to remain patient. It's going to be difficult and there might be a time or two that I overreact. I freak out a little bit. I think that's where all of us go. The ups and downs though of the transfer portal, the rumors, the innuendo. So if you are somebody that for the last 25, 27 years for me, I've been on message boards, you know that the recruiting world can be a little bit wild, a little weird. There's rumors, there's things that happen, but remember, this is happening usually over the course

Starting point is 00:02:57 of a year, a couple of years, building up to eventually when these student athletes make their commitments to particularly schools. We're microwaving this here in the transfer portal era. We're putting this all together and we're making these things happen over days, weeks. It is an incredibly short period of time. And because of that, the wild swings, the wild ebbs and flows that you get as it pertains to the portal, just absolutely crazy the way things set up. Let's get to Kuprakach and his return. So obviously a freshman campaign that didn't go the way I think anybody thought it was going to. And you look back at what he was able to do before the injury shut him down for the year. And I know there's a lot of innuendo, a lot of chatter about what the injury was So be it right no big deal

Starting point is 00:03:51 He's coming back and he's gonna be ready to go. So this is step number two now a bed McCollum Cooper catch had offers Cooper catch had opportunities. I remember coming out of high school This is a guy that had offers from some big time programs. This is a guy that had Purdue and Michigan State after him. And it's not very often in basketball that Iowa wins those recruiting battles against those kinds of programs. But they did. Now the bloodlines help right and JR his dad playing in the 90s NBA draft pick guy that wore the black and gold and certainly a family that you could tell are invested getting him back though is a good thing and now what you're looking for is health you go back a couple of times where he was able to put up some numbers, you can see that

Starting point is 00:04:45 beautiful stroke. And that's what we talked about during the initial part of the season. You just see the shot. It's beautiful. You know, it's six foot eight, six foot nine with the size that he has and the ability to grow more into that body. You see a guy with the skill set that is going to have to be fixed on the defensive end. And that's what Ben McCollum and his staff, that's going to be a big

Starting point is 00:05:05 part of this. But he put out the call to arms. He was on a station that I work on, KXNO, the Iowa Sports Radio Network across the state of Iowa on Monday morning with Sean Roberts and David Eichel. And again, he put it out. Can't end here. Need more. And they want Josh Dix back. And they want to bring back Price Samford. Now I still wonder

Starting point is 00:05:32 financially about the Josh Dix part of it. Some of the offers that are out there, some of the numbers that we hear as it pertains to a player like Josh Dix who is a tremendous college basketball player. But we also watched is a tremendous college basketball player. But we also watched him over the last three years and there were times and big

Starting point is 00:05:49 moments where he wasn't there. There were some no-shows and that kind of money for a guy that certainly has not shown the consistency it's crazy. Of course Iowa wants him back. Why wouldn't you? You want a player like that. You want a player that you can plug in. A guy that can play both ends of the floor. A guy that can go out there and get you 20. A guy that can hit a game with her like you did against Northwestern. Yeah, you want that guy. But if the difference is that guy at one and a half, $2 million or three or four guys to build out your roster, that's the math that Ben McCollum has to come up with. And that's what you have to figure out. You want

Starting point is 00:06:35 to keep pushing, make it happen, donate to the swarm, do all the things as fans that we have to do to make it happen. Which you do wonder, looking at it, if it would make more sense in roster construction to put all your eggs in the ben- Josh Dix. Maybe that's the thing though. Maybe Ben McCullum looks at this basketball-wise and believes a backcourt of Sturtz and Dix. We're going to be fine everywhere else. And if we put those two guys together, we're going to be in great shape. Great shape though for Iowa getting Cooper Koch back. We'll see. Price-Amford is the one that Illinois involved, Nebraska involved. Those were a couple of the initial spots. Same thing with Josh Dix. Kansas looks

Starting point is 00:07:15 to be maybe, some people believe it's down to Iowa and Kansas for him. We'll see on that front regardless of the way this all plays out. But the work continues to be done by coach McCollum. We jump over to the other basketball team, the women's basketball team, and on Monday it was announced that Leah Guyton has entered the transfer portal. Again, not a surprise if you saw any of the tweets from her dad AJ Guyton, yes the former Indiana Hoosier. He was, first of all, right after the retirement of Lisa Bluter, freaking out. At different times during the course of the year, freaking out. At different moments during the year, asking how you would enter, go about entering the transfer portal. When you recruit a player, you're not just recruiting that player, you're recruiting their whole family.

Starting point is 00:08:09 And from afar, looked a little heavy handed. Again, don't know the guidance, just going what I saw. And what I saw on social media. And there were times, head scratching. Head scratching scratching posts that were put out there by Dan. So be it. She's on. Now, Iowa has already been involved with the transfer from Arizona in Jayden Williams. There's a possibility, though it's a long shot, I don't know if I was going to be able to land financially Olivia Miles from Notre Dame. Probably not. A new name, and Kyle Heusman from Hawkeye Report had this one, Gail Reveve from Quinnipiac who had a great freshman year. Look, they've been shopping for point guards. We saw Aliyah Guyton, and I understand. She's coming off an ACL tear

Starting point is 00:09:02 her senior year of high school. She's still just a freshman. Talk about inconsistency. We saw that a ton. And I think Aliyah Guyton is going to be a really good player eventually. But I don't think she was going to be even on the verge of an honorable mention, all big 10 point card for next year.

Starting point is 00:09:19 And that's what they need. To keep this ship running, to stay on the tracks, to continue the momentum of this basketball program, you have to keep the momentum going. And I don't think you do that with Guyton as your starter next year. It's too important. Iowa has an opportunity. And if you watched the last two nights, these elite eight games, you know the gap between the elite level teams and programs like Iowa. Now when you have a generational talent in Caitlin Clark, you could close that gap

Starting point is 00:09:50 and we saw that, but that's what it takes. In order though to build to become on the level of a South Carolina, a UConn, you're in, you're out those programs you have to build up. And you're going to recruit over people, including players like Guyton. That's the new reality. It's a different reality. If I was gonna be swimming in these waters

Starting point is 00:10:15 and they're gonna become a women's college basketball blue blood, these are the things that are going to happen. You're going to recruit over players. We continue on the Locked On Hawkeyes Podcast. More basketball talk, we'll get the thoughts of Scott Dockerman from the Athletic on Ben McCollum's hiring, and we're going to talk some spring football all to come.

Scott let's jump into little Iowa topics and last week we get the news on Monday that it's going to be a Ben McCollum it happens early in the morning. Everything's happening there. We see the press conference doc you've been to a lot of press conferences

Starting point is 00:13:46 and it's not about winning a press conference, but that's about as close to winning a press conference for a guy that I think a lot of Iowa fans didn't know a ton about outside of maybe watching the game against Missouri, hitting a home run. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. It's what you do between the lines. It's going to matter.

Starting point is 00:14:02 But I thought Ben McCollum, that was about as good as I have ever seen, and a time that maybe Iowa men's basketball really needed a guy like that. It was a tremendous introduction to what Ben McCollum, who Ben McCollum is, what he stands for, and what he's going to be. And, you know, and growing up in Storm Lake, Iowa,

Starting point is 00:14:24 you don't know what his rooting interests were growing up. I mean, that's, you know, in the northwest corner of the state, is he a Cyclone fan? Is he an Iowa fan? Is he Nebraska? You know, does he care at all about different college teams, maybe centered more on the pro teams in Minnesota? Instead, he is a diehard Hawkeye from birth.

Starting point is 00:14:47 He has pictures of him and Dr. Tom Davis to bring up players like Montyre, Glassburn, Val Barnes. And, and, uh, I think really showed that he paid attention and watched those games and he attended those games. And then he, you know, talked to, he talked about winning the MVP of his hometown camp and the Hawkeye Hustler award and got it for Bruce Pearl just to have to be coaching in the final four.

Starting point is 00:15:10 I mean, it shows that he is very much in tune to Hawkeye history. And that is a juicy slice of red knee to Iowa fans who sorely need it right now. Because the one thing I've kind of come to the conclusion with this program is, and I grew up in the 80s or 90s and really watched it up close, had friends play at Iowa and certainly friends attending Iowa and hung out with them. And that is that Iowa has incredible history, but the tradition has completely waned over the last 25 years. And some of it is self-inflicted, some of it is just kind of the byproduct of not being able to

Starting point is 00:15:52 reach any kind of level of expectation that their fan base wants. And I think what Ben McCollum does is he builds that bridge back to that history, that people that remember those teams of the 80s and 90s know that their coach lived it the way they lived it and that's really impressive and really important now but I'll say this the most important thing he can do is spell out a vision for how this program can return to that level and I'm not talking about just dr. Tom's level the last 11 years I'm talking about boots level for that and I thought he spelled out his vision for this program what he wants to do on the floor How he wants to play his record is is you know, and I think all of that really came out and sold a vision and

Starting point is 00:16:39 You know granted he has to go do it. He has to do it in the transfer portal He has to bring back some of the players who are still in it that are Iowa players. He has to bring a few from Drake. But ultimately, I think that the course is set that he feels like he could be successful at Iowa and I have no reason to doubt him based on his history. Yeah, he has definitely shown that he's been a winner everywhere he is and, and the grinder and you know, that's the conversation with DeVries who was of course the flavor of the day for a couple of days there and you look at Ben McCollum I was never going to be Indiana basketball as it pertains to NIL

Starting point is 00:17:14 they're never going to be able to financially compete with some programs of the Big Ten brethren ultimately Ben McCollum very well could be the better fit because he feels like the kind of guy and there's no guarantee It's going to happen But he's gonna be able to squeeze the most juice out of what he has because he's proven he can do that And I think some of that goes to style of play Trent when you look at France style of play which is very entertaining and I think history will be kind to him for what he did at Iowa as it should be. But I also think that when you play an up tempo offensive style of play,

Starting point is 00:17:52 you kind of, if you don't have elite athletes, you surrender a lot on the defensive end and because it's hard to play two ways unless you are, you know, just the most talented athletes on the floor. And that wasn't the case in Iowa. You had great athletes, great players, but just not be able to do it both ways. I think what Ben McCollum's system does, and I know people have been either rather critical

Starting point is 00:18:15 or a little put off or whatever by some of the slowdown of it. I disagree. I think it's a smart system because kind of like with Kirk Fentz in football, you're not going to be able to play a raid at Iowa and be successful. You know how to get players in your region who can fit your scheme and execute it. And I think that's what Ben McCollum is capable of doing is going out and get somebody like

Starting point is 00:18:40 Peyton Sanford, who I thought in his scheme would have been an even better player than he was in France's style of play. And I think you're more than capable of getting those players to execute highly efficient offense, rugged defense, do all the little things that can help them win games. And when you look at NIL talking to Beth Getz after her little media scrum and um and also ben mccallum is there they're not going to shirk from that it it was probably overblown and over played the lack of nil that iowa had yes it was it was tough but they still had pretty good players there this year uh but going forward i think that iowa is going to be mid-pack in that. And I think when you look at it, you know,

Starting point is 00:19:25 and all the other aspects of sport, I think that's probably a fair place to be. Let's talk some football. Scott Dockerman joining us from The Athletic. And doc, spring practice, you get Kirk Ferentz. And I'll tell you, I was listening to it, picking up my son on the way to his school. And then I went back and read the transcript. I mean, it hit all the notes. It was all the Kirk isms that you'd anticipate for a spring press press conference that you get out of him. Um, just an overview of this squad, you know, I come into the year, Grunowski certainly created some excitement, but you know, you look through this team lost a ton off of last year's team. Sure. That's, that's going to be the first thing you look at. Um, I, I would say, you

Starting point is 00:20:08 know, we have kind of, I think since Mark Grunowski committed to Iowa and then you kind of everybody's focus and attention has kind of flipped over to, um, basketball. Um, but this is a huge signing. I mean, this is as big of a free agent signing I was ever had in any sport. Um, and he has the potential to do some really terrific things. He's still healing from it, you know, a slightly torn labrum that, uh, I think will be, uh, you know, fully healed by June. So he'll be able to, I don't know, soft toss or do something other things. The spring probably participate in everything, but really hardcore throwing, but he'll be able to, I don't know, soft toss or do something other things this spring, probably participate in everything but really hardcore throwing, but he'll be fine.

Starting point is 00:20:49 I think he's got a chance to really elevate the offense. I think defense is right now what you're looking at is, you know, how do you replace, you know, Jay Higgins, Y.A. Black and some, you know, some of the other Sebastian Castro. That's going to be their core challenge now. What you've got to hope for is you're really focused on your development and your development takes root and improves this team throughout the spring and into the summer. It's probably not going to look the same. It's probably not going to be quite as successful, but I don't think Iowa is going to put out

Starting point is 00:21:21 a marginal even on defense. So if Mark Grunowski can make up for that, the lack of an elite defense with better quarterback play, and I think he has a chance to be the best quarterback Iowa's had at minimum since Bethard, and if not back further, then I think that this could be a successful year and maybe an under the radar season for the Hawks. So we didn't see the transfer showing up

Starting point is 00:21:44 on the depth chart that was released. Sam Phillips coming in helping out at wide receiver, Jonah Pace at defensive tackle along with Price Hawthorne. I thought one of the more intriguing things that showed up there is when you looked at the defensive end position, Joseph Anderson, you obviously remember that class of defense linemen they brought in a season ago back a year ago signing day There was NFL bloodlines up and down there and to see Anderson. I know we're gonna get obviously the return We're gonna see Alan back in there and he's gonna be pushing for time

Starting point is 00:22:16 Kenneth Merriweather who we continue to hear buzz about but just seeing his name out there Let's create a little bit excitement for me because you know that skill set, that starter pack that he has coming in athletically. Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, his weight is listed, I think it's probably low. I'm sure he's probably a little higher than 224, but with his skill set and he's, you know, he could compete in the big 10 in track,

Starting point is 00:22:41 in the triple jump and long jump. He's just got that burst to him. And if you can get a burst off your edge, and even if he's not full service and you're not the type of guy you want him to play all the time on first down and running situations, but if he could show some pass rush ability and maybe on third down or passing downs, you could bring him in and let him kind of, you know, come off the edge. I think that's a huge asset to this team and this defense

Starting point is 00:23:10 because, you know, I think Max Llewellyn is ready to take that step forward. I think he was probably the best defensive end they had last year. Ethan Hurkett is a solid hardcore guy. You're thrilled to get him back. Aaron Graves has a chance to really take that next step as well and become, go from thrilled to get him back. Aaron Graves has a chance to really take that next step as well and

Starting point is 00:23:25 become go from good to great. Um, you've got some question marks in the, in the interior, whether that's Jonah pace or who comes in, Jeremiah Pittman, possibly Bryce Hart Hawthorne, but, and then Brian Allen, of course we'll be back. He's he's out for the spring. Uh, but I think overall that they're going to be pretty salty up front. It's just a matter of can they take that next step. And I think in the last year they just missed that huge rush and or, you know, pass rush off the edge. And if Joseph Anderson can provide that 10

Starting point is 00:23:56 snaps a game, they're way better off than were a year ago. Finally doc left tackle. You look at it, it's guys that we know the names, but we just haven't seen them out there a whole lot. I know Lauk has been kind of commended, a guy that built themselves up and they beat some good teams to get him a couple of years ago out of Indianapolis. Do you think it's just going to be as simple as what they see in spring practice if they're going to go shopping for a left tackle or are they happy where they are right now with the offensive line is specifically left tackle? Well, there's a huge question mark there, Trent. We know that Jack Dotsler is a guy that they've got penciled in at number one.

Starting point is 00:24:33 He's somebody that I talked on the side with with George last year and and Barnett and he was he really thought his progress was coming along strong that he is he had elevated himself to being in the rotation last year is how he kind of put it to me and when we talked before at football game. And so he's going to get first crack at it. Trevor Lauk's going to get a crack at it. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Cannon Leonard or even some of the newer guys that showed up last year or the year before. I mean, they're all going to get good, strong looks at that position. It really has come down to Jennings Dunker,

Starting point is 00:25:08 they wanna leave him on the right side where he's more comfortable. And he was one of the best run blockers in the country last year. I think he graded out his fourth by PFF overall. And so rather than flip him over the left side and get him used to doing something different, they figured they're gonna work in the left side and get him used to doing something different. They figured they're going to work in the left side with somebody new.

Starting point is 00:25:27 Now that could be challenging for somebody, but, but then again, Mason Richmond started four years. So, and I don't think Mason was anywhere near prepared for it his first year. And it wasn't until last year where he really started playing well. So I think they're going to give it this spring. If they don't like what they see, then they'll rally the base up to try to get $800,000 or so, whatever it costs for a big 10 left tackle.

Starting point is 00:25:54 Otherwise, they're going to just promote from within and ride it out. That's got Dr. Min from the Athletic talking a little Iowa Hawkeye football and basketball.

As we finish things up today, the spring season is upon us and I understand Iowa baseball, Iowa softball don't get the headlines that we see from the other sports and many of the other sports that are out there but it's been a pretty fun start to the spring season for both of those and it just continues to build for excuse me the Iowa baseball team after they go to Minnesota this week. So the golfers record doesn't look

Starting point is 00:28:43 great though but their RPI was really good. I would goes up there and they went all three games they sweep the series get the win sixteen seven in the opener then have to play a double header so they moved it up they played Thursday then two on Friday sixteen seven in game one a thirteen nothing shut out and then finish off the sweep with a seven six win in the getaway day up there. There's also some hijinks that were happening apparently with some of those gophers. Oh boy, you never know with those gophers

Starting point is 00:29:10 what they're up to there. Now here's the thing. So Iowa dug themselves a little bit of a hole. You kind of look back and losing three out of four to Washington State, that was absolutely a stinger. Losing two out of three against South Florida. Feels like you maybe could have stolen another win out of there. That's a team that's in the top 50 of the RPI. But still, Iowa's got a lot of work to do to build any kind of resume that's going to get them in consideration for a large bid. Obviously, the automatic bid that comes with winning

Starting point is 00:29:37 the Big Ten tournament. But that structure is going to be crazy now in this expanded Big Ten tournament, obviously. And the 18 teams, well, 17, no, what? What do we got? No Wisconsin in baseball, as they do not have a program, but all battle and try to get just a spot into the big 10 tournament in that conversation. So last week, they lose a mid week game. As teams won what 12 out of 14 now, something like

Starting point is 00:30:04 that, but they lose a mid week game. His teams won what 12 out of 14 now something like that but they lose a midweek game one that you just really can't afford to have. So you lose to Illinois State. Now on Monday excuse me Tuesday April 1st it's April Fool's Day. You're taking on Bradley who's three and twenty. Yes it's on, but come on. Can't lose that one. You know, another part of the schedule is they had a game scheduled back in March at home against St. Thomas up in St. Paul, newer division one program, pretty good program. There's a few Iowa kids that have played up there recently and they have a really good RPI themselves. In fact, they're 60th in the RPI as we sit here this evening. And that game has been canceled. Kind of like to have that one back on the schedule, but Bradley get the wind Tuesday. Then he go to Northwestern midweek game next week against a bad Milwaukee team. And then it's the Huskers after that April 11th through the 13th and. Huskers are off

Starting point is 00:31:08 to a bit of a slow start look the work there is a lot of it that needs to be done to get back into that kind of talk and maybe this team being an NCAA tournament team but remember back those years and what heller's been able to do just a great great scene overall softball team didn't go as well after that great start and of course the win in the Big Ten against top five ranked UCLA came back to earth a little bit as they fell

Starting point is 00:31:32 over the weekend still they got themselves in a really really good opportunity themselves to potentially make the Big Ten tournament which would be a big accomplishment we'll see if they can keep their heads above water as they move make their way through the Big Ten slate. In fact, I'm gonna watch the Iowa softball team coming up this weekend. That's right. And over to Iowa City. Gonna be uh playing on my daughter's in a softball tournament over there and then

Starting point is 00:31:53 we're gonna stay over and and go over to the game on Sunday against Nebraska.
