Well, we got baseball to talk about as Iowa gets ready for their matchup in the Big Ten tournament. They know their pool and we'll talk a little bit about the assignment, what's going to be in front of the Hawkeyes as they make their way over to Omaha and some big accolades coming the way of the Hawkeye baseball program. Scott Dockerman is also going to stop in. We'll talk with Doc a little

Starting point is 00:01:24 bit about the college football playoff, get his thoughts on some of the possible changes that we're going to see, some tweaks both for this year and the future, and we'll talk women's basketball with him, including Caitlin Clark against Angel Reese from over the weekend. Speaking of that, that's where we begin today's program with a look at the women's basketball program and starting with the commitment of Emily Rodriguez. This was a get that I believe was a necessity for this program and a chance to get better in a lot of different areas. To me, this is the exact player that Iowa needed to solidify themselves at minimum as a top half Big 10 team next year, as a team that should be an NCAA tournament team, and a chance to build on that and be any more.

Starting point is 00:02:12 You know, this program right now, going through this transition, and now with the graduations we've seen in the last two years, the loss of Cyndia Folter, such a big one this season, and a number of the other seniors, it's going to be a much different look. There'll be faces and names that you know, Taylor McCabe, Kylie Feerbach, but look, both of them, not even sure that either of them are going to be starters next year. We'll get into that momentarily. But let's start first with the commitment of Emily Rodriguez. So Rodriguez comes in after a year at Central Florida at UCF playing in the Big 12. Obviously a very good women's basketball league has had a ton of success and even as that athletic conference as a whole has dissipated a little bit with the defections that they've had

Starting point is 00:02:57 with Oklahoma, Texas. So really good women's basketball league. And to put up the numbers that she did as a freshman last year, it's really good. But she also fits in a style and in a way that Iwa needs. She can handle the ball. And as we saw last year, there were so many times though it got better as the year went on, they just struggled in terms of ball handling. And when there was pressure out there, that was an issue. And you look at next year and chit chat, right. It's going to come in and they're going to have an opportunity to have her at the point guard spot. But is she a full-time point guard for a good team? Is she somebody that you can go out there and roll out there in her sophomore year? 32, 34 minutes a game. I'm not so sure. The question is about adding

Starting point is 00:03:41 deal at that position. And Rob Grieg is another type of player with her size at six foot tall that can handle it. Another thing we have to look at is kind of where she fits and where she's going to go on this roster and what position she's going to be playing. Probably that small forward role. I've seen her equated at times as kind of a guard slash forward. Maybe we're splitting hairs here. We talk positionless

Starting point is 00:04:06 basketball. A lot of people talk about that. Jan Jensen's talked about that and having people that can do a lot of different things. You go from there. You're traditional. One is your point guard. Two is your shooting guard. Three is your small forward. Four is your power forward. Then five is your center. You look at that direction, how I was going to play. What we do know next year is they want to go back more traditional and have Hannah Stolke play the four. We saw Ava Hyde last year, just how good she was towards the end of the season in her growth. You couple her with the addition this year of Leila Hayes, who they think is going to be able to come in and probably even play more minutes

Starting point is 00:04:40 than what we saw this past season out of Hyde. So you got those two at the center position, which means you'd anticipate not a whole lot of minutes at the five for Hannah Stolke. Hannah Stolke needs a healthy off season. She didn't have that last year. An opportunity to develop the shot, develop the handles, do the things that are necessary in terms of rebounding, in terms of playing in the post instead of even stepping out, knocking down shots, and being able to

Starting point is 00:05:02 spread the floor a little bit. I think all those things are there. It's just becoming more comfortable doing it. And she's going to have the kind of off season now to make that all happen, will Hannah Stulkey. So Rodriguez to me kind of fits in that small forward mix. And then you look around, where do you go? Is it chit chat right at the point guard spot? Do you go and hand the keys to add a deal?

Starting point is 00:05:22 I don't think she's ready for that personally, not right away, but there are people that also think that I'm crazy of when I say that. I think she is though a two guard right away, somebody that can help out and give you a good 25 minutes a game and say 20 of them probably at the shooting guard position. I think that's what you're going to see out of her. And then you talk about, well, if that's the starting lineup, if it's Chit Chat, Addy, Deal, Rodriguez, Stolke, and Haydn, that means that Kyler Fearpock's coming off the bench. That means, and we saw her, go back to that game against USC and just think of how much she improved

Starting point is 00:06:05 on the defensive end of the floor. And it's not just strictly defense. It was seeing the growth that she made, because she was always a good defender. But then being able to bring it every single game, being able to bring it every single play. What she did in that game and how it continued through the course of the year

Starting point is 00:06:22 certainly changed her trajectory. And we know she's not an elite offensive player, but she can be a fine offensive player. Knocked on an open shot, she can get to the rim. She has athleticism to do that. Speaking of that, that's another thing that they needed was the athleticism and the addition of Rodriguez. She brings that element to them.

Starting point is 00:06:41 She's somebody on this roster that can get to the rim off the bounce. They just didn't have a ton of those type of players. That's not the game of Taylor McCade. That's not the game of chit chat right at five foot four. She's quick, but then finishing around the rim. Rodriguez has that, an intriguing skill set that she has.

Starting point is 00:07:00 Inside, outside, offense, defense, and she's just scratching the surface of what she is. This is a young woman that just started playing basketball at a competitive level when she was 12 years old. She has not been playing the game very long and to be an all-Big 12 freshman selection to have the kind of programs that were after her and for Iowa to land her, this was good. It's going to be a young team next year. They're going to look different. We'll dive deeper into that part of it but this was an addition I absolutely believe that the Iowa women need and I think that Jan Jensen knocked this one out of the park. It doesn't go as fast as we want sometimes. We're always searching for more, searching for

Starting point is 00:07:39 information and hoping to get that kind of player but that was definitely an eye-opener getting Emily Rodriguez and good work out of the staff of making that happen. We continue on the Lockdown Hawkeyes podcast, Your Team Every Day. And we are going to talk with Scott Dockerman from the athletic. We're going to dive a little bit deeper into Emily Rodriguez.

Starting point is 00:07:58 We're also getting her thoughts over the weekend from Angel Reis against Caitlin Clark, that continues to dominate the conversation here on the Hawkeye front and college football as a whole as a doc is now covering college football over at the athletic at a full time role along with doing what he does on the Iowa beat. We'll talk a little bit about the changes to the college football playoff and maybe this is something that is good for the Iowa

Starting point is 00:08:21 Hawkeyes. We'll do that as we continue. This is Locked on Hawkeyes.

So we're going to go back to shed some more light on that Iowa State

Starting point is 00:10:00 story that he wrote. Just a phenomenal piece, Doc. I'm anxious to talk to you about that, but I want to start with the here and now news that Jan Jensen's program got by all accounts, a pretty big commit here earlier this morning. Emily Rodriguez with three years of eligibility comes over to Iowa. Doc, for whatever reason, I thought maybe the honeymoon might wear off just a shade that the numbers can be tough to Iowa. Doc, for whatever reason, I thought maybe the honeymoon might wear off just a shade that the numbers can be tough to pack the building again this year as they did last year, two years for move from number 22. But it looks as though maybe that's not going

Starting point is 00:10:34 to be the case whatsoever as this roster continues to take shape. And so it certainly seems like the interest at least at this point from where I sit is not waning. And Iowa women's basketball, I would say that, uh, you know, there seems to be still some major interest in, you know, they've got it. They've got significant turnover. Um, as we know, I think you lose, you know, when you lose somebody to the WNBA and Lucy Olson and Sydney and falter and a few others, I think, you know, you've got to expect there to be growing pains again. But I think by replenishing their roster the way they have and adding the players at the

Starting point is 00:11:12 same time, when you have Chit Chat Wright coming in from Georgia Tech at the point guard position and then you add in Emily Rodriguez, who was a big 12 on the all big 12 freshmen team averaged about 12 points a game. I think you're looking at Iowa, you know, maintaining its place as a probable NCA tournament team. So I think they've, they've done a nice job in the, in the portal. You of course don't cover women's basketball and the WNBA, but I know you keep a close eye on it doc here and you talk throughout the years re watching Saturday and the blowback from

Starting point is 00:11:47 Angel verse Caitlin once again and boy if if there was an actual punch there how ugly that would have been for the league Yeah, that was that was a tough tough moment. It's just to me. I think it just shows the the anti Caitlin Clark You know the the hate almost I think it's shows the anti-Katelyn Clark, the hate almost. I think it's fair to say from Angel Reese, because if anybody else would have done that, she would have walked it off. It would have only been a common foul, of course. It's only her reaction that influenced the flagrant. It was not a flagrant foul at all. I don't know what they're thinking or whatever. And then, you know, I'm very interested in seeing what gets discussed or, you know, found out as far as, you know, what was yelled or

Starting point is 00:12:34 allegedly yelled at the players from the Indiana fans, because we've heard this before. And, you know, if it happens, great. It needs to be said exactly what was said to those players if it didn't then there needs to be repercussions from that too because I think a good fan base is getting blindsided with negative attention and it needs to be proven that they said something. Absolutely. Doc I want to go back it's been a couple of weeks since it was published at the athletic but your long form and you're such a great long form, right, you really are your look inside Iowa State and where it was and what it's come through, what it's had to go through and what lies ahead. Doc, again, I'm sure it was well received by by Iowa State fans who, you know, just

Starting point is 00:13:21 love the fact that when you guys do publish something over there. But this was a great read. And I thought that there was some stuff that maybe following it over the years, you tend to forget that you brought back to light. Well done, Scott Dockman. Good piece. Guessing was well received. Yeah, thanks so much.

Starting point is 00:13:40 And it was something I worked on for a while. And I really appreciate it all the time that people gave me, you know, brothers, Matt and Bill was great because he spans the entire, you know, three decades of kind of when I focused on this. And, and of course, Jamie Pollard was fantastic as always too. And I think what it speaks to Iowa state is that when you look back at the end of the big eight and beginning of the big 12, there was a scary period for Iowa state because they were in, you know, financial distress and also were kind of given a man.

Starting point is 00:14:12 Well, they were given a mandate that they had to do spending, um, to become title nine compliant. So you had to remove a lot of money and spend a lot of money. And, and really there were some key were some key people along the way, Dan McCartney being at the very forefront, but then also I think Jamie Pollard is the most instrumental athletic figure in Iowa State history, the way he's been able to build that. And then to look at it today. And the challenges are still immense. The challenges are still there. They're going to have to deal with those on a consistent basis, but if nothing else,

Starting point is 00:14:43 they're still there, they're gonna have to deal with those on a consistent basis. But if nothing else, they're proving that they can compete in the Big 12 and they can fill that vacuum that's left behind by Oklahoma and Texas. And there's a ton of other schools that feel the same way. So it's gonna be an ongoing process. But with the athletic department in place the way they have it, with the coaches that they have, Iowa State is going to be a very competitive program for years to come and that's really just the way they grew it, the way they grew it organically and put themselves in that position to where Iowa State

Starting point is 00:15:14 today is is just night you know night and day from where it was in 1995. Doc when you look at the challenges going forward for Iowa State and most of the Big 12 programs that are there, you're not going to be able to financially compete with the SEC in the Big 10, but you still want to be able to compete obviously on the football field, but at other places as well. How do you do that knowing that the money is going to be different for every Big 12 program out there? I think it's not that dissimilar to how, you know, maybe the second tier financial secretary of the big 10 hopes to compete with the upper tier, you know, whether it's a Wisconsin and Iowa, Michigan state, they've never been able to mount, whether it's history, tradition,

Starting point is 00:15:57 resources, you know, whatever, to compete on and even playing field with Ohio State and Michigan, it's just never happened. So what they do, they do well. And I think that's the lesson that developmental programs, Iowa State being among them, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and some of the others can build on that. I mean, number one, you have an access point to get into the playoff. That is something that they need to have and they do have. I think number two, what you look at is,

Starting point is 00:16:25 can you compete for that point? And once you get into it, can you win games in the tournament? And I think that they're capable of doing that against comparable teams. It's just, can they win a national title? That's gonna be awfully difficult, but it is for a lot of teams.

Starting point is 00:16:39 So I think that financially, as long as they can compete in that arena for good talent and put themselves in that stage, they're fine. The problem Iowa State faces is that where they are located, they've got six big 10 schools either inside their border or on their border, plus an SEC team to the south. They all have more resources than Iowa State because of their media rights contract. That's an uphill climb. But Iowa State has done such a remarkable job of engineering, again, an organic fan base that really came through and has come through for them.

Starting point is 00:17:15 I would expect them to continue to compete above their weight class and put up a good fight. And basketball is going to be an area where I think the big 12th still be a giant. Doc, the college football playoff, is there a chance, I guess we'll put it that way, because it seemed like at the beginning of the year there was no chance that there was going to be any tweaks to the seeding once the playoff rolls around here in January. Now I thought, and apparently I read it wrong, that there is still an opportunity with another meeting still to come with the powers that be that if they all get in the line and all vote the same way

Starting point is 00:17:55 that we could get change as early as this year or is it as early as next year? Do you know? For the seeding, it can happen this year. And there seems to be some momentum to that. But there won't be any changes as far as the number of participants that field. Right.

Starting point is 00:18:12 We're on 12. Yeah, we're gonna be on 12 this year, but it could be to the seating. So you're gonna get the number four ranked teams as opposed to the four top champions. I think that's probably something that is going to happen. But then, you know, in 26, that's where there's a lot of discussion. I expect 16 to probably end up being the number, you know, there won't and whether or not that

Starting point is 00:18:37 means that there's going to be, you know, the big 10 in SEC will be guaranteed four teams, the big 12 in ACC2, and then, you know, and then a G5 gets a team and then the rest will be up to at large. I think that remains to be determining the final numbers. But overall, you know, this year, yeah, I think there's a strong possibility that it ends up being a seeded tournament. So there's been so much talk about Big Ten if they do get those four teams. You get the conference championship game, the three seed

Starting point is 00:19:06 against the six, the four versus the five winner of those two games obviously get a bid then into the college football playoff. My question for you doc is outside of seeding purposes what's the incentive in that Big Ten championship game? The number one and number two teams are already going to be in yes there might be an easier path but we don't know that until the bracket is set. What's going to be the incentive in a 16 team bracket for those conference championship games for the big 10 and also the sec. Um, when you look at it, you know, on paper, I guess that's the way we're kind of

Starting point is 00:19:40 observing this. It's that you want to, you know, have a higher seat. You know, if you're, you know, let's say you're Penn State that you want to you know have a higher seed you know if you're you know Let's say you're Penn State versus, Ohio State You know the winner could be the number one or number two overall seed and you're playing the 16 or the 15 There's some significant incentive to have that versus being the five and play in the 12 or play in six playing 11 But one thing that we always forget about is that they are competitors They do not want to lose They do not want to lose. They do not want to lose the teams that they consider rivals or things they may

Starting point is 00:20:09 face later on. Um, and when you get into that situation and you can hoist that trophy, that is a major motivator. So whether or not it matters, you know, from a big picture standpoint, the way it once did, you know, that, that remains to be determined. But I tell you what, when, when these athletes get on the field and they've been working and sweating and bleeding all these years, they, that competitive this takes over in those games.

Starting point is 00:20:33 So, and being able to be a big 10 champion is still a big deal. So same thing with all the conferences. So that's my expectation of what will happen. Um, when the music expansions take place, as I told Trent earlier, I started to dive in just a little bit to college football just to kind of refresh memory, you know, with all the sports that come and go. And it just started, I was looking at the Big Ten and it dawned on me that what the hell has happened to Wisconsin, right? This used to be a school that, you know, there are Penn, maybe there are nots below probably Michigan or Ohio State, but you know, they're in the Penn State type of realm.

Starting point is 00:21:11 What has happened to Wisconsin? Is this a blip? No, it's not a blip. And this is what you have to be careful of if you're a school in that second year, well, heck, even the first year, look at how long it took Michigan from when, you know, before Jim Harbaugh took over after Lloyd Carr retired. You know, it was an eight year period where they were really a lost program. Penn State was lucky it had James Franklin and Bill O'Brien, otherwise it could have been the same boat. But when you're in Wisconsin, you've got to maintain what you do well. You've got to keep your identity. And they took their eyes off the prize when they went to Luke Fickel.

Starting point is 00:21:48 And Luke Fickel wanted to impose, you know, he wanted to make an air raid attack on offense. Well, what you've got to be careful of is not straying too far from your identity, which at Wisconsin, they have big people. They think people blow people off the ball and you run the football. The only thing missing in that for that program back in, you know, I don't know 16 to 19 era like that was a quality quarterback was a winning quarterback. They had caretakers and that was about it. But if they would have had a, uh, you know, uh, the top big all big 10 caliber quarterback, they would have been a playoff team and a four team era. So they strayed way too far from it.

Starting point is 00:22:27 And it's not just offense. I mean, their offensive numbers were pathetic, but their defense is where they really have fallen off. And when they, one of the hallmarks of them was, they were so gap sound and, you know, they could throw so many different things at you as a, you know, from a three, four perspective where they were also looking more like a four to five was that they always got to their gap. They were always athletic and, and they stopped you every single time and put you in third

Starting point is 00:22:57 and long. And then they had guys like TJ watt who bust you off the edge. They have straight in every facet. They are not technically sound. They, their defense is a shell of itself. And offensively, I mean, they're in the hundreds in a lot of categories. If it wasn't for, you know, in fact, they averaged five points worse per game than Iowa did last year.

Starting point is 00:23:18 People don't think about that, but it's true. So they, they've got a lot of work to do. And I think they're going to try to get back to the basics of running the football and playing more physically. But I don't know, you're three, teams pass you by. And it's a lesson for Iowa to me, that once Kirk does retire at some point, you stray too far, you could fall really quick.

Starting point is 00:23:41 And it's hard to get up, especially in this good big 10 that we've got. That's Scott Dockerman from The Athletic and a good thought about Iowa's program going forward and something we've talked about a lot here on Locked On Hawkeyes. When that change happens, gotta be ready and you do not want to move away from what your DNA is certainly as a football program. Iowa baseball, the success of the season was awarded the awards are out for the big 10 teams We'll talk about that what Iowa baseball has seemingly It's one and done

Starting point is 00:24:11 Iowa has to win their first game at the big 10 tournament to be into the semi-finals We'll tell you all the details when we come back on the locked on Hawkeyes podcast the Locked On Hawkeyes Podcast. Trent Conda back with you one final time. Thanks for making Locked On Hawkeyes your first listen every day. Glad to have you aboard with us and a shout out to you every dayers with us each and every day talking all things Hawkeyes. So, Iowa gets ready in the Big Ten tournament for their opener against Rutgers. It'll be on Wednesday evening as they'll take on the Scarlet Knights. Now when you looked at the pools that came out and that's right. No this is not a traditional bracket. This is pool play but a different kind of pool play because if you win your pool or if you're the top seed tie for your pool you move out of the semifinals however

Starting point is 00:25:05 because Rutgers upset Indiana in their first game in Omaha that sets the stage for this Iowa Rutgers winner moves on in the Big Ten tournament to the semifinals making the Iowa Indiana game meaningless on the other side though Iowa loses they're still on the outside looking in because Rutgers would be 2-0. It comes down to this. A Wednesday game in the Big Ten tournament just to keep your season alive even knowing you have one more game. How weird, how odd, but this is the structure of the Big Ten tournament. Now you have to be happy about the matchup that you have. And

Starting point is 00:25:45 if you get that victory against Rutgers, what that can mean. Look, with Iowa's struggles down the stretch, they have put themselves in a spot where they have to win the Big Ten tournament to be an NCAA tournament team. I think even advancing with a perfect record to the championship game, I don't believe it would be enough. Sure, there are factors. I mean, every single bubble team loses here down the stretch in their conference tournaments. I guess you could come up with the case, but the reality of that is just so incredibly slim of that actually playing out. I think Iowa's got to win this thing in order to be a tournament team. And as we've seen, they got the horses to do it. At least get to that semi-final and then anything could happen. But you beat Rutgers, then you have that meaningless

Starting point is 00:26:29 game against Indiana. That means you can rest everybody. You don't have to use your pitching arm. And some of those other teams that are trying to make their way into the semi-finals, they will be using their arms. What number of pitcher will they be using their number three? Maybe a number four, whatever it is, and saving their number two. What Iowa can do, it'll be Kate Obermuller that'll get the ball. And then where you go from there, I've just so many different ways that this can play out. It's good in a way, but the pressure is on. Beat Ruckers, you solidify yourselves in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament, and then you're just two wins away from being an NCAA tournament team and winning that one. We mentioned some of the honors that are there for Iowa as eight players were honored by

Starting point is 00:27:12 the Big Ten and the honorees including mentioned Kate Obermuller. The preseason pick to win Big Ten pitcher of the year. Obermuller was outstanding once again this season. Took that final step that we're looking for from him. 107 strikeouts on the season. A 3.30 ERA for Cade Obermuller and he has four strikeouts away. We're moving to second all-time in Iowa history. Aaron Savory the number two this year. He was tremendous. A weekend starter for Iowa. ERA at 3.74 for him. More than a strikeout per inning out of him. Outstanding. How

Starting point is 00:27:46 about Reese Moore? So this kid comes down to my neck of the woods out of Forest City and goes over to Van Meter. It was tremendous in the season there. Big numbers, nine home runs this year, 16 doubles. He hits 319 on the season, 45 RBI, first team honoree for Reese Moore. On the second team, Reese Buehner, who was a part of the rotation for most of the season until late in the year with that injury bug hit. Daniel Rogers, what they got out of him this season after coming in from Loris. I mean, how about that? And the transition up to the big 10, what he was able to do. Ben Wilmes, he hate to see the way that it came to an end with the injury at the end of the

Starting point is 00:28:24 season. No surprise. Ben Wilmes, a lot of him in high school and called a lot of his games outstanding. And then part of the old freshman team, Jackson Frost. I think that was a little bit of surprise, certainly for me, what he was able to do this early in his career, putting it together. And also Max Burke was named the sportsmanship award for the Hawkeyes for that front. So that's what you got. Iowa will be taking on Rutgers 6 o'clock again coming up on Wednesday evening with a chance to move on to the semifinals with a victory, a loss, but they'll still have one more game will mean they're on the outside looking in on the semifinals and with it they will not be an NCAA tournament team.
