Locked On Hawkeyes - Daily Podcast On Iowa Hawkeyes Football & Basketball - Kadyn Proctor leaves Iowa again, Hawkeye men beat K-State in the NIT

Starting point is 00:00:00 Caden Proctor. We had him. Now we don't. Very quickly before even spring practice starts, Caden Proctor making his way back to Alabama. Plus, Iowa wins an NIT game. Today, Locked on Hawkeyes. You are Locked on Hawkeyes,

Starting point is 00:01:00 the news is out and it is not good as Caden Proctor is leaving the Iowa football program. That's right on the eve of things starting up for spring practice. Caden says adios and making his way, it looks to be, back to Alabama. Now, this is a huge shock because we just don't see things like this happen. We do not see players enter the transfer portal, come back home, and then very quickly go back to their original destination where they just played a season of football. It is unlike anything that we've seen before. Certainly a high impact player, a nationally known player, a starter for a team from the college football playoff coming home after a season at Alabama.

Starting point is 00:01:33 And now just like that, he's not going to be part of the plans. You know, this cropped up, of course, when he first decommitted for the first time on the eve of signing day during his high school senior season decommits from Iowa and eventually ends up at Alabama a day later that one was a stinger because Iowa's recruiting class was finished I mean there wasn't anybody else that they could really shop for at this point in time and really left Iowa in alertion we saw the offensive line continue to be nothing short of bad again a season ago season ago, and you can blame the coaching staff, you can blame the scheme, and there's plenty of blame to go around, but ultimately, it's about Jimmies and Joes,

Starting point is 00:02:10 and Iowa hasn't had them certainly over the last two seasons. It felt like it was going to be fixed, that you were going to see improvement. You go from a guy that really struggled at the left tackle position, you're going to move him either out to the right side of Mason Richmond or even move him inside to guard. You're feeling good about the potential there. Proctor comes in, a ready-made left tackle position, you're going to move him either out to the right side of Mason Richmond or even move him inside to guard. You're feeling good about the potential there. Proctor comes in, a ready-made left tackle, as good of a talent as you've had at that position since Tristan Wirfs, and away you go.

Starting point is 00:02:35 And here we are. So how does this come to fruition? How does this happen? Well, it happened very quickly. And I got a text this afternoon about this from inside the athletic department, inside the football program. And he very quickly texted one of his former teammates at the University of Iowa, says, I'm out.

Starting point is 00:02:59 Took away everything Iowa related on social media. Left all the group chats with all the players that they have. And it was done within hours. I mean, the first rumblings from the local media, the beat writers, came from Scott Dockerman, who reported on it first, along with Shem Leistikow. Saw a lot of things from David Eicholt and the crew, Sean Bach, over at 24-7. Tom Caker of Hawkeye Report. All varying degrees of what they heard, but the rumblings were out there and it just

Starting point is 00:03:30 happened so fast. So I get this text and as I am, I'm getting ready with softball practice with my daughter and just thinking, well, it's not going to happen this quickly. And then flip the phone on back an hour and a half later and it's done. It was just absolutely crazy how quickly this all came to fruition how quickly everything passed i mean you throw the kurt ferentz um press release that he sent out that was maybe as shocking as anything is just how quickly that part of it happened normally when we have these kind of rumors and rumblings and things are

Starting point is 00:04:05 happening inside of any athletic department program, there's still some time before we kind of get to the spot that we got today, but it just happened all so quickly and left Iowa, obviously in a difficult situation. Now three weeks away from them getting to sign the transfer portal window opening. Once again, he's still going to classes at the University of Iowa. How's that going to work out?

Starting point is 00:04:27 We will see on that. There are some reports out there, I believe from Scott Dockerman, that he went on a spring break visit, went on spring break with some buddies from Alabama, some of his former teammates down there. Was that what changed it? Or is it a question of NIL? And I think this is what is bothering a lot of people right now. And I understand it because this NIL era is unlike anything that we've seen before.

Starting point is 00:04:53 And though people for years thought we were going to get to this spot, we're eventually going to get to this spot because the NCAA is so gutless and so spineless, because they have no backbone and they have no authority really to do a whole lot of anything if the universities themselves and the athletic departments don't want to, we are left where we are today. They're asking Congress for help. They're asking all avenues that they can for help because they don't have an idea. And what we're left with is an unregulated mess. This is brutal for college athletics.

Starting point is 00:05:27 And college athletics, as we know in college football, is in a very dire situation. The number of people that I have heard from here today and throughout the day and into the evening has been incredible. People that are huge college sports fans, huge Hawkeye fans, say they're out. They're not buying tickets anymore. They're not donating to the Swarm anymore. They're not doing those things because this is just too shady, too seedy. And what is the regulation behind it? It's pay for play.

Starting point is 00:05:56 And though the Iowa Swarm looks like they're doing things the right way, we know eventually that's all that this is. We don't know what Caden Proctor was given up front. There's continued stories now about high school athletes before they'll take a recruiting visit. And some of the top level guys, they're asking for a payment up front just to take a visit to school campuses. And to think that Caden Proctor hasn't got anything out of this deal. That didn't get upfront money out of this before he practiced. Hell, Iowa got more NCAA violations from Caden Proctor

Starting point is 00:06:27 than they got practices from the guy. I mean, that's where we are right now. That's how ridiculous this is. It is so crazy. Is this something that can stop the momentum of this unregulated disaster that the NCAA has put together? Is there going to be enough pushback? Because obviously here inside the state borders,

Starting point is 00:06:48 this is a huge story and it's going to continue to be a big story. But this is also nationally becoming a big story. A guy leaving Alabama, going to Iowa, taking NIL money, never playing a game, and then going right back to Alabama. What's going to stop others from doing this across the country? With unregulated and unlimited transfer opportunities and the ability to play right away, there's no guardrails. And guardrails, I think, are kind of a joke at times. I think we go too far looking for those guardrails.

Starting point is 00:07:17 But we have to have something. We have to have something better than this. This is a disaster. This is not an Iowa football story, though it's an Iowa football story. This is a national story. How can we continue to allow this to happen? And what needs to change? What can be done? Well, the NCAA needs to grow a pair. The NCAA needs to do something because doing nothing has led to this. Unregulated, no idea where the money's coming from, where it's going, players not getting payments. There's been stories of that all over the country.

Starting point is 00:07:51 This is awful. The easiest, most simplest solution is to make them employees. That's set up, though, a whole nother set of circumstances that, boy, you talk about dominoes falling and how different this whole enterprise is going to be. But that's where we are because the NCAA for the last 25 years has done nothing. We're in the spot we are today.

Starting point is 00:08:13 What does this mean for Iowa football? Where does Iowa football turn from here? What does it mean for Tim Lester and the new offensive staff? We'll dive a little bit deeper into this. Plus, we're going to talk some basketball. We'll dive a little bit deeper into this. Plus, we're going to talk some basketball.

As always, thanks for making Locked On Hawkeyes your first listen every day. Canepractor Leafs, what does this mean? What it means in the very simplest terms.

Starting point is 00:11:12 We thought the offensive line, I don't want to say was fixed, because I think that is maybe overstating what it was going to be. But the improvement was going to be significant, because it's been bad the last two seasons. And though they were better than they were the year previous, still back in 2023, this was another bad Iowa offensive line. And for their standards, certainly at the lower rung. When we go back and talk about Kirk Ferentz over the last 25 seasons, I mean, this is definitely in the bottom half of what we saw a year ago and probably in the bottom 25th percentile of offensive lines that he had.

Starting point is 00:11:46 Pass blocking has been bad. The scheme has been bad. Run blocking was better this year, still not great. The zone blocking scheme is something that is adequate, antiquated, and outdated in today's environment, and that's where we're left. So what do you do? Finding offensive linemen in the transfer portal is incredibly difficult. And there was a story a year ago from Bruce Feldman of The Athletic that talked just about that fact and how everybody is looking for them from the highest of highs in the Alabamas and the Clemsons and the Florida States and the Ohio States and Michigans of the world, all the way down there looking to fix the offensive line.

Starting point is 00:12:23 Ohio State a year ago did just that. They brought in two players from the transfer portal on their offensive line. One was okay, but they didn't hit at the level that they needed to. And you saw for their standards, poor offensive line play this last season. Iowa needs to continue to shop. Because from what we've seen out of this group, they don't have a left tackle. Mason Richmond, though he was banged up last season, he was nothing short of bad. And though I think there's talent there, and I think we've seen enough good things in the course of his career

Starting point is 00:12:53 that he can be a good offensive lineman, I don't know if he can ever be a good left tackle. At least at the standard that Iowa needs as they're trying to implement a new offensive system. You know, so many times when you see new offensive systems implemented, as we'll see coming up this spring with Tim Lester and company and what they're working to do, one of the issues a lot of those times is how they're blocking and any kind of changes that you're looking schematically on that front, how difficult it can be for a group of offensive linemen to do that. Iowa has a ton of experience. That's a good thing. Experience definitely helps, but are we all of a sudden going to see a huge leap out of these guys? I'm not sure if I can get there.

Starting point is 00:13:29 Caden Proctor just helped out so much of what they were going to do. Going deeper into this, if this offensive line isn't as good, does that lead more in the RPO style that we anticipate we're going to see out of Lesnar's offense this season? Does that mean that we're going to have to see them running the football out of shotgun more? Is that something that is going to be an implementation that they're going to have to do? Now the big road grader, 370-pound Caden Proctor, not there on the left side and dominating in the run game. Does that lead to even more shotgun plays for the Iowa offense coming up this season?

Starting point is 00:14:01 You throw in the fact that you have a brittle quarterback in Cade McNamara that has had two season-ending injuries his last two go-arounds in a college uniform two years ago at Michigan and of course a season ago with the Iowa Hawkeyes even before the torn ACL. He had that injury that really slowed him down at the beginning of the season. We did not see a Cade McNamara that was at the level I think anybody expected short of the first couple of drives of the season for the Hawkeyes this year. Well, what does your left tackle do? Of course, he protects the blind side. Yeah, that is a problem right there. Pass blocking has not been good. I think scheme was a major part of that, what they were trying to do. I'm hopeful that it's going to be better, but this is impactful.

Starting point is 00:14:45 We can't just be sour grapes and say, he doesn't want to be a Hawkeye and we don't want him anyway. Come on, you need talent. You need talent to win. And they finally got high-level talent on the offensive line. And just like that, he is out the door. This is a blow. This is a blow for what Iowa was working to do.

Starting point is 00:15:08 What they were trying to be this upcoming season, this is something that is going to hurt them in a major, major way. I don't know if there's going to be anything that comes available in the portal that would make sense. And what about the funds? What about the funds now? For we saw that huge drive after Caden Proctor committed first when he

Starting point is 00:15:26 entered the transfer portal, then quickly made his commitment to the Hawkeyes. A lot of people jumped on board. They joined the Swarm Collective, and I think that two-day drive, over $100,000 was donated. Now, how much of that check went to Caden Proctor? Don't know at this point. Haven't heard Brad Heinrichs mention anything, at least as we sit here going in from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. But I haven't heard anything on that front, what it was. I would anticipate, though, there was an upfront payment and then probably the monthly payment that comes along with it that all these scholarship athletes receive.

Starting point is 00:16:01 So you have that component, and that's where we are. NIL funds help bring back Sebastian Castro and Nick Jackson and Jay Higgins, and these guys coming back for another season of Hawkeye football were able to do it with NIL funds. And for Iowa and the way that they're built, that probably makes the most sense. Now, there's not going to be as many of these opportunities going forward. The COVID year has kind of changed the calendar for a lot of guys that were coming towards the end of those guys that had that bonus extra year of eligibility and being able to play a fifth or sometimes sixth season of college football. Those are starting to fall by the

Starting point is 00:16:38 wayside, but it makes sense for Iowa to do it that way. But when you get a big fish, when he gets something like that, and is there going to be recourse that comes along with it, something that we just don't know. There's going to be more shopping that needs to happen in the portal. I still believe that Iowa, if they find out this spring that Marco Lyonnes is not ready to be the backup quarterback, you have to go find somebody to at minimum be the backup quarterback for Cade McNamara

Starting point is 00:17:02 and maybe even push McNamara to be the quarterback as a starter this season with his injury concerns that you have and now an offensive line that becomes a whole lot more concerning on top of it that is a problem that is a major problem right there and the way that plays out a wide receiver group that you just don't know I'm excited about Caleb Brown I think he's got a chance to have a big time season coming up this year. Needs to be more consistent. Has to be a whole lot better catching the football. Yeah, that's a huge part of being a wide receiver.

Starting point is 00:17:32 Come on, Conor. We all know that one. But we saw drops out of him a year ago. Seth Anderson really just kind of fell and we didn't see him a whole lot throughout the course of the season. Is there something there? Wide receiver is a question. They were deep at wide receiver.

Starting point is 00:17:46 What the system is going to look. A whole lot of questions for Iowa football that certainly change. And we'll be talking a lot of Iowa football here over the next month leading into the final practice and the open practice in April. Well, football, yeah, frustrating. Let's talk basketball. Men's basketball normally has been frustrating here over the last couple of weeks not the case uh last night though as iowa gets the win against kansas state some

Starting point is 00:18:10 good feelings iowa moves on to the second round of the nit and just wrapped up a moment ago utah will be the opponent that thing got tight a little bit later on in the basketball game but ultimately utah utah holds on for the victory. Iowa traveling west out to Salt Lake City. We'll take a look back at the victory against Kansas State and potentially the final game for this group in Carver Hawkeye Arena. We'll do that as we continue. This is Locked on Hawkeyes.

Starting point is 00:18:42 This week's March Madness bracket highlight is brought to you by our friends at Nissan. Each week, we're picking one team that stands out, a team that's pushed it further than the rest. Just like the all-new 2024 Nissan SUVs, these guys were able to take it to the next level. How about the number one overall seed, the Yukon Huskies? They can only be described as an armada. This top seeded team is a hardcore as it gets out there. It's no wonder they've landed the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament. They're one of the favorites to win it all despite four of the six power conference

Starting point is 00:19:17 champions standing in their way in the East region. Take the Nissan Rogue. Nissan Pathfinder. Or Nissan Armada. And go find your next big adventure. Shop NissanUSA.com That's NissanUSA.com Try and count it back with you once again. On the Lockdown Hawkeyes podcast. Thanks for making Lockdown Hawkeyes. Your first listen every day.

Starting point is 00:19:45 Let's get into the hoops from last night as Iowa gets a win, 91-82 over Kansas State, an entertaining basketball game up and down the floor, 91 points. It's kind of an Iowa game. And one thing I really loved, we'll talk about, obviously, Peyton Sanford and his performance, putting up a career high 30 points the shooting and just got hot early on and really continued throughout the course of the game but I want to go to the veterans you know for the guys that maybe are playing their final time in Carver Hawkeye Arena we'll see if there's going to be another game that isn't still in front of them

Starting point is 00:20:19 we know their next game out of Utah that will be a game that will be played on the road. Now there is a potential with some upsets that they still could be looking at the opportunity for them to get one more home game in order for that to happen. What do it take? Cause I bring up the bracket here, Villanova, let's see South Florida one. So yeah, South Florida, if South Florida wins their next matchup in the second round, potentially Iowa could be hosting that one. In yeah, South Florida, if South Florida wins their next matchup in the second round, potentially Iowa could be hosting that one. In fact, they would be hosting that next game. So that's something that could happen. It's still out there that that still could be something that happens. Same thing at Villanova gets knocked off as they play coming up on Wednesday evening

Starting point is 00:20:58 against VCU, VCU and unseeded team. They're still bad, but to the point at hand, likely the last game for these guys at Carver. Ben Kricke, there's just a one-year guy, comes in as grad transfer, and he was the guy throughout the course of the second half that just every time Kansas State would cut it to four, he had an answer. Had the big corner three, his ability to get into the paint. So many great cuts, great finishes in there. That's the Ben Kricke that we saw a whole lot more during the first couple of months of the season. And unfortunately, from my perspective, didn't see a ton of that over the last month or so of the season. But Ben Crickey, he was outstanding out there. These guys all really struggled in the game against Illinois to wrap up the regular season when Iowa still had a whole lot more to play for, including potentially an NCAA tournament bid.

Starting point is 00:21:46 On Tony Perkins, Tony still struggling with the shot. Looks a little bit off physically at times. That happens from time to time with Tony, too. It's kind of got a little bit, you know, a little, I don't know if it's a swagger or a walk or if he's got a bad leg or what it is, but you see that from Tony Perkins even when he's going right. However, he just seemed off with the shot. You saw that a couple of the three-point attempts, especially early on, just not real close on

Starting point is 00:22:13 those three-pointers. And though he's never been considered a great three-point shooter, he's been better than he certainly has been here recently. But even with that, finishes with nine points, a couple of steals, but eight assists in the game. So able to be a facilitator and really help out iowa as a whole really good on that front as well as iowa finishes the game in assists with 20 assists on 29 made field goals some good numbers there for the hawkeye

Starting point is 00:22:39 team as a whole and finally patrick mcafree that scores points. It's a three-pointer during the first half. Has three rebounds. Need that from him. Now, it can't be a goose egg or a one, and we've seen too many of those throughout the course of his career in the rebounding for a 6'9 guy. And I know he's not big and physical. He's not a thick guy by any means.

Starting point is 00:22:59 You just got to be able to rebound at a better clip than we've seen out of that. And he was able to help out a little bit on that end of the floor. So those three guys, just good to see them, if this is their final game in Carver, to get that bad taste out of their mouth and the way that it ended against Illinois. You're getting blown out. It's 24 to 5.

Starting point is 00:23:15 You're just, you're out of it. You cut it to four. And as soon as you do, Illinois comes back with another run and really put that game away here a couple of Sundays ago. Mention Sanford. Boy, what a stud. And he jaws a little bit. He likes to talk.

Starting point is 00:23:29 He's got a little chirping to his game. I'm good with that. Way back in the day, a long time ago when I played, I liked to chirp too. Now, I wasn't talented like Peyton Sanford. In fact, I was a pretty bad basketball player, but I could talk. And maybe that's the reason I'm still talking with you here today. I love that from Sanford, though. Double-double, 30 points and 12 rebounds.

Starting point is 00:23:49 Career high for him. And I was shooting the basketball from the outside. Now, it's one of those simplistic thoughts, right? Well, if you make shots, you're going to win. And it's one of the simplest equations when you look at a box score anymore in basketball. Go first to the line of three-point shooting. And more times than not, it's going to tell simplest equations when you look at a box score anymore in basketball. Go first to the line of three-point shooting, and more times than not, it's going to tell you who won the basketball game. But if Iowa, now it was eight in the 7-11 three-point shooting, but if Iowa hits 10 or more threes in a game, you're undefeated this season. That says a lot.

Starting point is 00:24:19 When they have 20 or more assists in a game, I think the number is 11-2 this season. Share the basketball, knock down some. Share the basketball. Knock down some shots from the outside. That's what's going to get you going, certainly. And we saw that go with them on the offensive end of the floor. That's a Kansas State team that's talented. Perry's a really, really tough point guard. He's really good at getting to the rim, absorbing contact.

Starting point is 00:24:42 They hold him to 2 of 13 shooting. There was a stretch. It was relatively maybe midway through the second half, a little bit earlier than that, but I didn't mark down the time and I should have, I apologize. But there was a sequence. It was kind of a scramble situation for Iowa defensively. And the way they played that scramble situation, we've seen this too many times in the Fran McCaffrey era where they're just, they're left so out of sorts, where they don't look like they have a clue. I call high school basketball all during the wintertime, on radio and on TV.

Starting point is 00:25:12 I watch a lot of high school hoops. I call a lot of high school hoops. And with it, there's so many times where guys get out of sorts, but you don't see just the inexplicable dumb decisions that we've seen during this time from the Iowa defense and what they've done in the past. But that was a sequence where that wasn't the case. And people were closing out. But closing out and not flying by, closing out under control.

Starting point is 00:25:34 That's what you need to do defensively. The switches were incredibly good. The scrambles were incredibly good. It was just such a great defensive sequence. And it's something where if you get beat physically, a guy's just faster than you off the bounce. He crosses you over, he gets to the rim. Hey, you chalk that up.

Starting point is 00:25:51 That's going to happen. Those kind of things happen. But when Iowa gets out of position, those are the things that drive me absolutely crazy. And though, yes, they still gave up plenty of points in this one. And even in a night where K-State goes 8 of 30 from behind the arc and scores 82 points i thought the iowa defense at least showed some things to make it we'll get ready for the utah

Starting point is 00:26:11 matchup coming up here a little bit later on in the week we will preview that matchup against the utes we'll get an official start time for that one uh likely coming up later today and break that thing down also coming up this evening we will get the first four with the 216 seeds playing off in the bracket for the Iowa women. So we'll find out who they're going to be playing. We'll break that down. We got spring practice starting up. It's a busy time and it's a great time, no doubt about it, as we're going to see that side of it, but really excited for it. We'll be able to see Presbyterian against Sacred Heart at Carver Hawkeye Arena. That one is going to be a 6 o'clock tip-off on ESPNU. Now check that.

Starting point is 00:26:48 The Sacred Heart Presbyterian, that's the one that's going to South Carolina Thursday. That's what we're looking for and trying to get that one. UT Martin, Holy Cross. That'll be the game at Carver Hawkeye. So we'll get that game and get a look at both of them coming up on Thursday evening. ESPN 2, by the way, will have that matchup in the women's bracket in the first four coming up on Thursday. We'll break it all down.

Starting point is 00:27:11 We'll talk a lot more football, more impact, and maybe we'll get some more answers about Caden Proctor and what exactly happened there. Before we depart, I posed this question on my radio show yesterday with Scott Dockerman from The Athletic and also to my radio partner, Ken Miller. What a run here in the NIT would do for you. And this is a personal question for you because I know a lot of the listeners and a lot of the viewers on YouTube, I know a lot of you are just completely out. That Fran McCaffery at this point hasn't got to that

Starting point is 00:27:41 Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament, not the NIT, that nothing short of that will change your opinion. That he's not the right guy. That he's not going to be able to elevate this program. That we've seen the ceiling out of the Fran McCaffrey-Iowa experience. But is there a portion of the fan base that, run getting to the final four of the NIT, getting to Indianapolis, playing in Hinkle, having an opportunity to cut down the nets? What would that do for you?

Starting point is 00:28:14 Just something to ponder. Let us know in the YouTube section on the comment side. You can hit me up as well on Twitter at Trent Condon and give me your thoughts on that one. What does a run do for you and Freya McCaffrey? Women's hoops, men's hoops, all wrestling, by the way.
