I thank God I was born on the good arms of the Midwest, and not on the battlefields of the U.S. It's a time of panic, and it's intercepted! It's picked off right away! Intercepted by Marty Hooker! Pick six! Eight seconds into the game! Buffen sets up deep in the pocket, goes down the field for Smith!

Oh! He's got it! Smith! Touchdown. 85 yards. High on. Touchdown, 10. Taking a shot in the end zone.

It is caught. No offense. Touchdown. That's either one or you have it. Go ahead and three. Yes. Two-point lead for the Hawkeyes podcast. I am your host, Andrew Wade, excited to be here for you on this Wednesday morning, dropping lots of content, lots of stuff happening in Iowa Hawkeye Nation over

the last couple of days. One of the things you're going to realize is I am pre-recording this. So I'm pre-recording this before the Iowa Nebraska game. I'm going to be covering that game on segment number three of the show today. But as of right now, I have no idea how the game ended because the game has not started yet. It's going to start in about 45 minutes, but I wanted to get this done. I am on the East coast right now. That game doesn't end until 11 and I'm not recording at 11 at night. I'll be recording in the morning when I wake up. So my apologies on

not having a reaction instantly to that. That'll be covered on segment number three. Iowa should win that game though, even, you know, despite the injuries and the sickness and all of that stuff. But on today's show, like I said, lots of stuff to cover, lots of news and updates around Hawkeye Nation. We're going to get to all of that on segment number one today, we're going to be talking about the early draft declaration of Geno Stone. And on segment number two, we are going to be talking about all the different awards and news and that kind of stuff that happened and kind of breaking that down as well. Before we jump into it, though, got to take care of a few housekeeping items.

And if you are on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, make sure to follow us there as well. If you would have been following us, you would have known that we did not post an episode yesterday simply because I did not like the content and the quality of it. I pre-recorded it and then a few things, a few news and updates kind of came out that made some of the content irrelevant. I also just didn't feel like it was a very good day for me as far as producing that show. I just didn't feel like it flowed well. I didn't feel like it was a very good day for me as far as producing that show. I just didn't feel like it flowed well. I didn't feel like I did a good job.

And I'm not a guy who's going to put out crap content intentionally, right? You might have your own opinions of the show, but that was one I just felt like wasn't even worth sharing with you all. So I appreciate your patience. And we are back today for the Locked on Hawkeyes podcast. So first, let's cover the Geno Stone news. Obviously, he has declared for the NFL draft. And out of the three guys who were kind of we're still waiting, or we were kind of waiting on right out of the AJ Penezes, Tristan Wirfs, and Geno Stones, I felt like Geno Stone was the one guy who definitely should come back. However, I also felt like he was the guy who was definitely

going to leave. I feel like some guys, when they kind of get that mindset that they're ready to go or they're ready to make money, it doesn't really matter what the grade is going to be. I mean, not that I am a NFL draft expert by any means, but I definitely felt like Geno Stone was not going to get a day one or a day two grade. And it turns out he got a stay in school grade, which typically means anything lower than round two, you're going to get that stay in school grade. And that's what he got. I think as of right now, I would say he could go anywhere from the fifth to the seventh round. There's a lot of kind of factors playing into that. Obviously, if you're an Iowa Hawkeye fan,

you've seen how important he was to that secondary. You've seen how great of a player he is, how great his instincts are. I'm thinking about Michigan, I believe, was the game where they did a little option. And if it wasn't for Geno Stone crashing and attacking at the ball, 15 yards away running all the way downhill and taking down Michigan's running back, it could have been a first down except for he stopped him six yards in front of the first down marker. So it's plays like that that I think are going to make him a good, at least, NFL player. The problem is what's going to really stick out to scouts and whatnot is the

fact that he's probably not going to have the best measurables. And we've seen this with defensive backs, especially coming out of Iowa in the past couple of years. Desmond King dropped to the fifth round despite the production. Imani Hooker dropped to the fourth round. Basically, I think a lot of it's basically because of size and kind of what his fit would be. Micah Hyde went in the fifth round despite displaying a lot of athleticism and playing really well for four years for the Iowa Hawkeyes. And the problem is Juno Stone doesn't have the gaudy statistics that Desmond King had. He doesn't have the Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year award to go along with that. He was just second team all Big Ten.

And so there's not as much hype coming into draft season. My guess is NFL draft analysts and scouts have not been reviewing his tape at all, either not really expecting him to declare. I would consider him a surprise declaration if you didn't follow the Iowa Hawkeye program. And so that's also going to hurt him. I remember listening to Trevor Sikama on the lockdown NFL draft podcast, part of the lockdown sports network that I'm a part of as well. And one of the things he said about Imani Hooker was that,

at least from his aspect and his standpoint and from the Buccaneers standpoint, one of the things he felt like hurt Imani Hooker was the fact that people did not expect him to declare. So they didn't do as much due diligence in advance of NFL draft season. And not to say that three months isn't enough time to do that due diligence in advance of NFL draft season. And not to say that three months isn't enough time to do that due diligence, but definitely didn't really help him because teams weren't expecting him to be going into the NFL draft that early. They expected him to be back for another year, so they weren't spending their time scouting him as much at Iowa games.

So just keep in mind stuff like that. I think with Geno Stone, that's not to say he's not going to be a good NFL player. That's not to say he can't latch onto a team, but he's going to have to deal with a lot of the negatives that we've seen for Iowa defensive backs, specifically with the measurables. He's not extremely tall. He's not extremely fast and he's not extremely big. And he has been with Chris Doyle for three years. He's a hard worker. I don't doubt he's going to put up at least average to above average measurables, but not elite measurables. And it really kind of, you know, we'll see what his 40 yard dash time looks like. We'll see what his three cone drill time looks like, broad jump, et cetera. But it just likely isn't going to be the thing that catapults him into that day two conversation.

isn't going to be the thing that catapults him into that day two conversation. That being said, good for Geno Stone. I'm so happy for him. He's an incredible player, great instincts, and he is going to make an NFL team very happy, probably initially on special teams before kind of carving out a role as a safety. As a Denver Broncos fan, I would love to see him on our team. I think he's going to be another example of a defensive back that was under-recruited, that played great at Iowa, was under-drafted, and then plays great in the NFL

as well. So I'm excited to see his potential and see kind of what happens and unfolds over NFL draft season. The big news now, though, is what happens? How do you replace Geno Stone? And there's a lot of opinions floating around. I think the big thing to note is, unlike last year where Imani Hooker went to the NFL draft and Geno Stone kind of stepped into that original safety spot, we don't really have that guy who people are kind of waiting on to step into a role. We have Jack Horner who's playing that other safety position, but right now we have a lot of potential and a lot of depth, but not a lot of standout guys who we really can say, this is the guy who's going to take us to the next level. We

know this is the guy, right? We knew Gino Stone was the guy. There's a lot of guys who've shown some really good things on tape. And there's a lot of opportunity there, but it's going to be really interesting battle now going into off season and kind of the training camp and whatnot for college football, seeing who kind of takes that next step. A couple of guys come to mind, Kayvon Merriweather, Dallas Cradith, even Dane Belton's name has been kind of thrown around there. He could transition from that cash position to that safety role.

Some people see him as more of a safety type. I thought he played really well as a cash player this year, especially as a true freshman. But it kind of remains to be seen how, you know, how Phil Parker kind of wants to organize his defense. He definitely has some depth at corner. And I think playing that, that cash position is really a nickel corner spot. And so with that depth at corner that allows him to potentially slide over some of the corners, whether that is Julius Brents or Riley Moss or DJ Johnson, especially because Matt Hankins is already playing one of those corner spots.

So we could see Belton move to that safety position and see one of those corners move over. My guess is actually Riley Moss would make a lot of sense. People saw him as a safety coming out of high school. He's played pretty well at corner at times. That would give him kind of the edge. And he's got some of the size and the speed similar to, you know, Monty Hooker, where I feel like he may be able to play inside at that dime backer position for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

We're going to be covering a lot of that, though, over the course of the next couple months, especially as we see kind of what Geno Stone does in the draft process and start talking and evaluating the depth chart for the Iowa football team going forward. But I do want to turn our attention to a few other things, mostly just the news and notes of kind of what's been happening in Iowa Hawkeye Nation. So that'll be coming up here in a few seconds.

All right, we are back with segment number two of the Locked on Hawkeyes podcast. And as I've been teasing, there has been a lot of news and updates happening. I want to do a quick rundown and try to talk through as much of this as possible. The first thing I want to cover is Joe Toussaint was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week. I think the sky is the limit with this kid. He's arguably one of the most athletic and dynamic point guards we've seen for the Iowa basketball team in quite some time. And he's going to bring an energy that we have not seen from that point guard position in a long time as well especially on the defensive side of the floor he is an animal he is attacking constantly which is also kind of his downfall as well where he can be a little bit aggressive he

can be a little bit overzealous in his play and we can see him kind of almost seem like he's out of control so as he starts refining some of that technique and starts being a little bit more, not cautious, but smart with the basketball, we're going to really see this kid blossom and develop. And we're already seeing a lot of that happening right now. He had a big game against Penn State, I believe scoring 18 points in a very tough environment as a freshman. The kid has no chill,

and he's going to be a really big time player for the Iowa Hawkeyes going forward. And especially this season as they need big minutes from him as a freshman the kid has no chill and he's going to be a really big big time player for the Iowa Hawkeyes going forward and especially this season as they need big minutes from him as their starting point guard now so exciting stuff for him on the women's side Kathleen Doyle was named big 10 player of the week for the women's side the women's team is off to a pretty good start again they get Maryland tomorrow that'll be a huge game at Carver, a good opportunity for them to see and kind of see how they're doing so far this season after losing, obviously, Megan Gustafson.

But again, Kathleen Doyle, fantastic work this past week, averaging 24 points per game, 5.5 assists per game, and 2.0 rebounds per game, shooting 70% from the field. So great job in those two wins for the women's basketball team for Kathleen Doyle. Also on some football news, a couple guys signed some futures contracts. Nick Easley signed with the Buffalo Bills. No surprise there. They've had him on the practice squad for the last bit of the season, I believe since

the mid-October-ish range. And they've even had him traveling for one of the games, which is pretty unheard of for a practice squad player. Typically, they go to the home games, but they don't dress. And then they do not travel with the team on the away games. But honestly, I feel like they obviously love Nick Easley. He was a priority free agent for them coming out of college. 30 free agent for them coming out of college. And what I think is most interesting about it is the fact that out of all guys in the NFL, if I had to make one comparison for Nick Easley, it's Cole Beasley.

And he is currently the starting slot receiver for the Buffalo Bills. And Nick Easley's game, his background, his story just mirrors a lot of what Cole Beasley has done. And it sounds like, you know, to me, it seems like Nick Easley is being mentored kind of by Cole Beasley to eventually take Cole Beasley has done. And it sounds like, you know, to me, it seems like Nick Easley is being mentored kind of by Cole Beasley to eventually take Cole Beasley's spot. And why wouldn't you have it that way? Beasley signed a big, a relatively big deal. Nick Easley's on a rookie contract.

You know, this is an opportunity for Buffalo to save some money once Nick Easley is groomed into that position. Or if Beasley goes down, Easley can take his spot. So again, an opportunity to continue to develop some chemistry and rapport with Josh Allen. He needs a guy who can make those tough catches over the middle and be kind of that safety valve. And we saw with Nate Stanley, Nick Easley was that guy. And I think obviously the work ethics there, he's going to work his butt off in the off season to

get ready for year two of his NFL career. And we've seen that work ethic kind of come into play, going from Juco to walking onto Iowa to being the Outback Bowl MVP. So love hearing good news about the Newton kid. Super excited to see him continue to do well and blossom in his NFL career. I think blossom is a relative term, but I see big things in his future, and I have no doubt that if anyone's going to make it, it's Nick Easley. And other news, too, might not be as, you know, people might not care as much about this news. And it's kind of unfortunate.

I know my old co-host, Zach, exactly if you're listening, buddy, this is kind of funny. He really hated Jake Ruddock. I didn't think Jake Ruddock was a great quarterback for Iowa. But I don't dislike him by any means. I still want him to do well. He lost his job, and he handled it well, went to Michigan. I get it. He played well there. He signed a futures deal with the Miami Dolphins.

So good for him. I'm glad to see his NFL career continue. I didn't really think he was that impressive of a quarterback, but not really my choice. I'm always happy for former Iowa players to get an opportunity to play professional football. And with Miami, it'll be interesting to see what their quarterback situation looks like next year. I could imagine they're probably going to get rid of Josh Rosen. We'll see if Ryan Fitzpatrick comes back.

It kind of depends on if they do draft a quarterback like Tua with one of their three first-round draft picks. But good for Rudok. An opportunity to stick in the NFL, get another chance to maybe get a position or get a spot with the Miami Dolphins. Okay, now twisting a little bit over to some a little bit unfortunate news. Tyler Cook was officially cut by the Cleveland Cavaliers. His two-way contract was just picked up recently. They had a few days to decide whether to convert that to a guaranteed contract or not. They ultimately

decided not to. This is not the end for Tyler Cook. It is just the beginning, right? He still has an opportunity playing NBA basketball throughout the first part of the season is a huge deal for any Iowa basketball player. And it's not that, you know, my guess is they just didn't want to guarantee that contract. They wanted to, you know, figure out what they want to do with him. My guess is he latches onto a G League team or signs with another NBA team who needs a little bit of, you know, front court depth. So we'll see how that all plays out. I'll be covering a lot of that on the Locked on Hawkeyes podcast as well.

But just some unfortunate news for Tyler Cook, who has been working his butt off. And anyone, honestly, who hates on Tyler Cook, to me, just doesn't understand what he can bring to a team with his athleticism, with his aggressiveness, I guess, offensively. I mean, he can really change momentum of game with some of his overpowering dunks and his ability to kind of leap sky high with those good jumping skills. And then finally, one of the other things, the last thing I want to cover before we kind of jump into the Iowa-Nebraska game, which again, I do not know what has happened for the Iowa-Nebraska game so far. Noah Fant had a fantastic rookie season, set a lot of Broncos rookie tight end records, just did a great job. I thought overall his play was

good. There's definitely some room for improvement. He made a couple of mental mistakes, dropped a few balls, wasn't nearly as aggressive, but nice to see him, you know, turn in and set some of those records and turn in a really fine freshman performance in the NFL. And that's one of the things going forward, we're going to actually be covering and kind of doing a breakdown of all the rookies in the NFL and actually just all the Iowa football players as well, kind of breaking down what their performance looked like this season. So we're going to be doing that as kind of a couple of segments over the next coming weeks. So stay tuned for that. Just as a quick reminder, before we jump into the Iowa-Nebraska breakdown and kind of what happened there, coming up on a few other shows, we are looking at getting a few guests on the show.

We're also going to be talking about the recent ranking of the Iowa Hawkeyes offensive line by Pro Football Focus. And we're going to be doing kind of a deep dive into the numbers on quarterbacks drafted and Nate Stanley. I've seen some hits and misses all over the board of whether Nate Stanley is a day two quarterback or is he an undrafted quarterback. We're going to be talking a bit about that and kind of where I see him projected, but that'll be coming up on some future shows. And then also just doing some breakdowns of the latest mock draft news and also the latest news of AJ Pinesa and Tristan Wirth. So that'll all be coming up on future episodes, but just in a few seconds, we're going to

be breaking down the Iowa Nebraska games to stay tuned after a few messages from our sponsors. All right, we are back for segment number three of the Locked on Hawkeyes podcast. And I definitely thought yesterday when I pre-recorded most of this show, that when I recorded this segment this morning, this Wednesday morning, that I'd be talking about an Iowa win. And unfortunately, I am not. Iowa did fall to Nebraska 76-70 last night in Lincoln. Kudos to the Huskers for obviously getting their crap together.

They had a great game plan against Iowa. I thought their fan support was fantastic. They had a packed arena, which is pretty impressive considering it is still winter break for colleges. So good for Nebraska. It just feels kind of like Iowa football versus Nebraska football. It's actually kind of the inverse. Not so much lately with the football team just because Nebraska has sucked,

but Nebraska's basketball team just somehow finds a way to beat Iowa every single year. I did think this was a win that Iowa had to have. The Big Ten is incredibly tough right now, and you have to basically get the wins that you should get, you have to get, and you have to be able to steal a win or two against teams you're not supposed to. And if you can't do that, you cannot expect the Hawks to be in the NCAA tournament. Honestly, at this point though, there's a lot more to be concerned about with Iowa, mostly with injuries and depth. CJ Frederick injured his foot against Penn State.

Sounds like it is a stress reaction, which is a precursor for a stress fracture. That is not an easy injury to kind of digest in a sense. You don't really know when he's going to be ready. Stress fractures and stress reactions are, they're tough to manage. And honestly, it just takes a lot of rest I've had a stress fracture it takes you know days weeks months to feel better and there's not a lot more that he can do about it and honestly out of all the losses that Iowa has suffered so far this year I would say CJ Frederick is probably the biggest loss behind an injured Jordan Bohannon in terms of in the season.

He is a fantastic shooter, a great three-point shooter. He's also one of Iowa's best perimeter defenders, if not the best perimeter defender. And losing him for an extended period of time would be a huge blow. There's just so little depth for Iowa right now, especially considering, you know, when he was on the court, they were already playing a small ball lineup, which is something we haven't seen a lot from Fran McCaffrey. They're playing four guards and in a center with Luka Garza and having Connor McCaffrey slide down to that four spot playing kind of a point forward position. And now with Frederick out, they have to move back to doing

that kind of a three, two with three guards, two forwards. And in their depth, they literally only have three scholarship players. And one of those, let's be honest, no offense to Riley Till, is more of a, hey, you've worked hard. You're a decent player. We're going to give you a scholarship for a year. That is not the guy you're expecting to rely on for big minutes. And Cordell Pemzo looks like a shell of himself. And that leaves Bakari Evelyn, who has suffered injuries throughout his career.

But he's really going to be a huge player too. And just if he can get going on nights, you can expect, you know, he can be a key asset for the Hawks. But last night was not that night. I thought Fred Hoiberg put together a great game plan for Nebraska, really focusing on Luka Garza, making everyone else for Iowa beat them. And even with that attention being on Luka Garza, who played 36 minutes out of the 40 possible in the game, he went 7-15 for 16 points. If you take away his four three-point attempts, which he was

off along with the rest of the basketball team, he was 7-11 in the paint. And that's with that much attention being focused on him down in the paint. He also got 18 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds. So the second chances were there. And again, Luka Garza putting in another great performance. He can expect to see that kind of intensity and pressure on him consistently every single night in the Big Ten until Iowa can start opening up the court again with their 3-point shooting, which is going to be difficult when they don't have a lot of three-point shooters back on the court. Last night, Connor McCaffrey was our best three-point shooter.

If anyone remembers him from last year, that would not be his forte, but I think that's also a testament to the work effort and worth ethic by Connor McCaffrey. He was put in and turned in a really great season so far for the Iowa Hawkeyes, kind of a do-it-all, kind of point-forward position. Put in a team-high 37 minutes, went 3 of 8 from the field, 3 of 7 from three-point, had two rebounds and four assists and three steals. So put together a nice little stat line there. One of the guys doing a lot of work there.

Kind of the big story, though, is Joe Wieskamp struggled mightily. Went 10 of 23 and went 1 of 10 from 3-point. I believe he missed his first 6 or 7 3-point attempts. Added in 7 rebounds and turned the ball over 3 times. Ended up scoring 21 points. That's a game where you need him to make a few more shots. I don't want to put, obviously, a lot of pressure on one individual player. It goes down to the team, right?

I mean, collectively, the team was garbage from three. They made four three-pointers out of 33 attempts, 12.1%. I have to go back and do the math. That might be possibly the worst three-point shooting performance by Iowa in a Fran McCaffrey tenure. I believe there's actually one game last year where they might have only made one, but I'll need to check that as well. But again, it has to be one of the bottom five performances from an Iowa basketball team across the board.

Bakari Evelyn, 0-3. Cordell Pemzel should never shoot a three-pointer, but he was 0-1. Joe Toussaint, 0-5. Luka Garza, 0-4, and Ryan Kreener, 0-3. You expect Iowa to be a little bit better shooting threes, and a lot of those three-point attempts were open attempts. So you expect them to make a few more. If they make three of those, right? If they make three of those and even get halfway to their average for the season, they're winning that game against Nebraska. And you know, kudos again to Nebraska for

knocking off Iowa. It just kind of sucks, right? You needed to get that win. You needed to get the win that you, you know, the ones that you're supposed to get, even in a, you know, game where you're not able to play a lot of players, you don't have a lot of depth and what, you know, your stars, you know, your good shooting guard is out for the game. Not exactly an easy situation for the Iowa Hawkeyes. That being said, I think, you know, the fans that are on Twitter, on Facebook, and kind of moaning and groaning about, oh God, this Iowa Hawkeye team is terrible. Screw Fran McCaffrey. Can you all calm it down just a little bit? Again, I know it's frustrating. I didn't want to lose to Nebraska

either. It pisses me off that we lost to Nebraska. It pisses me off that we lost to Penn State. Those are two games we should have won. That would be 12-3 for Iowa right now. Yet they lost both those games. These are not the same Fran McCaffrey teams, though. This team is playing with a lot of heart, a lot of perseverance. A team that's down 38-31 in the first half of Fran McCaffrey team loses by 20. They were in that game. They were able to win that game.

They had a bad shooting performance. Sometimes that happens. That's how upsets happen. You get a team who can shoot well from three. You get a team that usually shoots well from three that has an off night. That will happen from time to time in college basketball and especially in the Big Ten, even if it is Nebraska, who is possibly the worst team in the Big Ten. That being said, there's still a lot of game left if C.J. Frederick heals, if Joe Wieskamp puts together a better performance, right? When Joe Toussaint comes along and does a little bit better job offensively as far from a shooting perspective, if Bakari Evelyn puts together more key minutes

than what he's been doing in the last couple games, this team is a good team. And Frank McCaffrey is doing a fantastic job of coaching this team and making them play up to the highest potential they possibly can. And again, the Big Ten is a crazy conference. There's a lot of opportunity here. But I think the naysayers out there just, you know, calm down. Is this lost the worst loss Iowa has suffered? Without a doubt. But is it the end of the season? Not at all. So just stay with them a little bit. I think, honestly, this is the best coaching performance I've seen from Fran McCaffrey. He is doing as much as he can with as little as he has.

And he's trying to get this team going. I think, again, if your two-star players play well in that game, you win that game. And I think that's kind of the recipe for success going forward. If Joe Wieskamp and Luka Garza play well together in future games, Iowa always has a chance of winning that game. And then you add the energy of Joe Toussaint, Connor McCaffrey, and the effectiveness of Ryan Creener down low

and the ability to kind of back out and shoot a three and the stability of Bakari Evelyn, there's an opportunity there for Iowa to still make the NCAA tournament, to win 20, 22 games, something like that. If you get C.J. Frederick back sooner rather than later, there's even more opportunity there. So I'm not trying to preach to you all, but if you are one of those guys hitting on the Iowa basketball team, you need to take a step back and just respect what is happening and the fact that we probably didn't

expect this to even be a possibility that Iowa would be in contention for the NCAA tournament after how many losses they suffered in this offseason and even at the beginning of the season. So just kind of my note to you all, that's kind of it for my rant right now. We'll be kind of focusing on the Iowa basketball team on future episodes as well, especially with the Maryland game coming up on Friday, talking about what Iowa needs to do to steal a win back at Carver Hawkeye Arena against a ranked Maryland team. All right, and that will do it for our show today. Again, I am pre-recording this, so this outro is also pre-recorded without any of my reactions

to the Iowa-Nebraska game. So my apologies there.
