Starting point is 00:00:00 It's a mailbag edition of Locked-on Hawkeyes. The day after Christmas, we get into the biggest questions out there. What needs to happen in the transfer portal for Iowa football? What needs to happen for Iowa football to take the next step? We break it down today, Locked on Hawkeyes. You are Locked on Hawkeyes, your daily podcast on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team. every day.

Starting point is 00:00:32 Welcome in. I'm Trent Condon, and this is the Lockdown Hawkeyes podcast. Thanks for making Lockdown Hawkeyes, your first listen every day. We are your daily Iowa Hawkeye podcast. I've been covering in Iowa for over 20 years on the radio on the Iowa Sports Radio Network. Currently is where you can hear me with shows each weekday from noon to tune. We have stations across the state of Iowa, Sioux City, Quad Cities, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and our flagship 106.3 KX&O. Today's episode is brought to you by Fandul.

Starting point is 00:01:03 If you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit Fandual.com and place your NFL live bets all season. Today we are going to ask and answer your biggest questions of Iowa football. A lot of comments that have come in on social media, plenty of them that have come in on YouTube. If you're watching us over there, we're going to get into some of your comments, talk about some of the big things that are out there,

Starting point is 00:01:26 and what you Hawkeye fans that you are thinking right now as it pertains to this one. Well, let's begin today, and we're going to go through some football. We're going to talk about big questions, transfer portal going to be a big part of it and what people want to see there. What I anticipate we're going to see from the Iowa football team after they finish up their bowl game against Vanderbilt. We're also going to talk plenty of basketball a little bit later on in the program, a breakdown.

Starting point is 00:01:51 Some of the things for Ben McCollum in year number one of taking this step. and really building up a more of an Iowa men's basketball fan base that certainly has dissipated over these last couple of seasons. We'll talk about that and a whole lot more. Let's begin, though, and get into your questions today. And let's go right here. And we mentioned the transfer portal. That has been a big piece of that. This one comes in from Lyle. He says, if you're not sure about quarterbacks that you have on a roster and recruited, then they did a his poor job of recruiting, and that would have to keep dropping into the port, dipping into the portal for cried out loud, and he didn't say that, develop one of these guys and let's go.

Starting point is 00:02:32 I want to stop right there. And Lyle brings up, I think, a very pertinent point when we talk about the quarterback position for Iowa. The developmental aspect of this is something that we just haven't got to see very much. As we mentioned before, Iowa, the last two years, does not have their anticipated starting quarterback able to go because of injury. Two years ago, Cade McNamara coming up, the torn ACL, and then this past season with what we saw from Mark Gerdowski. We don't know at this point what Tim Lester is in developing.

Starting point is 00:03:03 And I think we're hopeful. We saw strides, obviously, these last couple of seasons. We saw improvements definitely at the quarterback spot. But for that young guy, and be it a Jeremy Hecklinsky, be it a Hank Brown, even some of the younger guys that are coming in, what they're going to look like after going through his. tutelage, I think it's one of the great unknowns for that. Alile continues. The kid, they just recruited from Utah, looks like the real deal. I do pump the brakes a little bit on that. I have concerns, athleticism-wise,

Starting point is 00:03:34 how he's going to translate and how it's going to work there. He can sling the rock, though. And obviously, Iowa does not, it's not a prerequisite that the Hawkeyes have to have an athletic quarterback, a back there, a guy that can do things with his legs. That would be my concerns about that one. But absolutely, when you look at the quarterback's spot, That is going to be a big conversation and going young, something that Iowa has not done very often, certainly during the 27 years of Kirk Farrants. It's been a rarity that we've seen an underclassman that is out there. Maybe that changes this year season with Hecklinsky. Another one from the transfer portal on football and a question coming in here to Lockdown Hawkeyes.

Starting point is 00:04:13 This is from Brad. He says, not sure how much NIL we have, but O line, D line and wide receiver. not sure a quarterback's going to happen. I'd love to see a bigger running one again. Brad, we talked about this one definitely, and I think that athletic quarterback, if it is a year where you look around the portal, there isn't anybody that you believe is coming to Iowa City.

Starting point is 00:04:36 That's a sure-fire starter. A guy that easily is going to move past Hank Glensky is going to move past Hank Brown and be the number one. And you're able to do it also when you talk about the financial aspect that goes into it. Brad, that beginning part, though, how much NIL we have. Well, Iowa has a much as it pertains to what you're supposed to be able to pay, right? The $20.5 million that is going to raise each and every year.

Starting point is 00:05:01 Iowa is going to be fully funded on the football front. However, it's the extras that go into it. And the things that are under the table, but not really under the table, the NIL deals that don't feel like they're real, real. We just don't know. It's guesswork. Now, Brad Heinrichs, who runs the Swarm Collective, he has said in the past that I was in good shape, but obviously it can be better.

Starting point is 00:05:23 And though they're probably in the top 20, top 25 in that range as it pertains to NIL spending for football, that gap between the top 10, 15 programs, we look at what a program like Indiana's done, going out and getting Fernando Mendoza, a guy, in fact, we talked about here about a year ago on Lockdown Hawkeyes and how good that would be, though that came to go together very quickly when he left Cal. plenty of other factors that are there but the financial aspect is something that it's not that it's under lock and key we just don't know because there's so many programs doing it different ways they have to now go through this clearing house where are these n iEL deals real it's a mess absolutely a one there offensive line i'm not as big on that one as a lot of people are i look at what iowa returns next season and maybe i'm just a little bit spooked by some of the transfers that they got bryce george's past he's in, Parker a couple of years ago, those guys just not panning out and really not being able to find a role.

Starting point is 00:06:22 I think if it's more a backup type of guy or even a developmental type of player, some redshirt freshman that has gone through a coaching change, something like that. When you look at Iowa State, obviously there is a huge, huge number of guys that are leaving that program, and not all of them are going to end up at Penn State. And if there's a possibility, I look at a guy like Will Tompkins at Iowa, I know, was involved with at times at his high school career, really liked his services. I think Nebraska might have been one of his services finalists for him. But regardless of that, more a developmental guy.

Starting point is 00:06:53 I don't think from what we've seen here, though, that you expect that you're going to be able to go out there and find somebody that says another sharp fire starter. That's a part of it. Defensive line, absolutely. Brad, that is one spot that I think is a huge necessity for next season, that edge rusher. And if we're talking about, let's just put it percentages wise, you're going to go out there. And just for argument's sake, I was going to go out and spend whatever the amount of money is. They're going to keep the guys happy that are there.

Starting point is 00:07:27 You know, they're going to spend the money to keep guys around not allow Trevor Lout to go back home to Indiana or Notre Dame. Don't allow some of your big names, Zach Lutmer, who I'm sure could get a huge bag out there. You keep those guys happy. You keep those guys in Iowa City, and I was done a really good job of that. But they go out and get 10 guys. I think a huge percentage of that money that is allowed for the transfer portal that I was looking at needs to go to wide receiver. And I think second on the list for me is just that, is that edge rusher. They're expensive, but defensive line right there.

Starting point is 00:08:02 Also depth the defensive tackle. Of course, they went out this past season. We're able to help out that a little bit. wide receiver, Brad also mentions on that front. A couple others on the football front as we continue here on a mailbag edition of Lockdown Hawkeyes. Hope everybody out there had a good Christmas. Let's see what else we have coming in here.

Starting point is 00:08:23 Why doesn't Iowa, this is a basketball question. In fact, let's save that one for a little bit later on. Basketball questions coming up here a little bit later on. This from Barrett, Jeremy Hacklinski reminds me of Ricky Stansy a little bit. One thing that I do see, now, the biggest thing, size-wise, different guys. You know, Stansy's 6-3, Heklinsky's 5-9, maybe. I know he's not listed at that, but again, reality is not a tall quarterback. But I see what you're saying, though, the way, kind of that wiggle that they had.

Starting point is 00:08:57 You know, Stansy was not an elite runner by any means, but he could definitely move. And the biggest thing with Ricky Stansy was his ability to move in the pocket. Yeah, he could pick up a first down. He can put his head down. and make a play from time to time doing that. But it was the ability in the pocket. And I think that goes hand-to-hand because, you know, I was had so many of those statu-s quarterbacks that just didn't have,

Starting point is 00:09:18 and this is something that drove me nuts for years. And if you listen to me on the radio, it was one big thing during the Ken O'Keefe era. And really in the back end of it is just their pocket presence was so bad. And you look at Jake Christensen. In fact, Stansy had a little bit of that at different times. Nate Stanley, different guys throughout that era. The pocket presence was not good.

Starting point is 00:09:41 I don't know if that's something that you can be coached. I don't know if that's something that is just innate that you understand in the pocket. Look, I was a terrible middle school quarterback, but that's obviously a much different level. It's tough back there. But going through those rips, understanding, and when you're going through the reps and practice, remember, we're in the different color jersey, you're not going to get hit. They don't get quarterbacks. that presence, it's something I think that is very difficult.

Starting point is 00:10:08 If you see it right away for a guy, I mean, how often do you see a quarterback that develops that one? One that's always stuck in the back of my mind, but the Stansy cop size-wise doesn't quite work. But in terms of that, wiggle, I can see that definitely there. We've got a couple more football questions for you here as we continue on this mailbag edition of Lockdown Hawkeyes. On the other side, we've got a few of those.

Starting point is 00:10:32 Plus, we're going to get into some basketball as we come in with your biggest questions for Iowa football. The day after Christmas, here on Locked on Hawkeyes. NFL Sundays move fast, one big play, and suddenly everything, everything feels different. That's what makes live betting with Fanduel so exciting. You're not just watching the games, you're reacting to it in real time.

Starting point is 00:10:57 With Fandual, you can place bets as the action unfolds, every drive, every momentum swing, every highlight moment. Live betting is at its best when the game starts to shift. Certainly felt it last Saturday night with my bears against the Packers. You saw it on Christmas Day. That momentum starting to change throughout the games. How about Chiefs Broncos, a late win for the Broncos in that one? You can feel it inside the stadium.

Starting point is 00:11:20 And on fan duel, you can get involved as well. How about this? Player Props Update as a guy starts to heat up. You saw that. You saw that final drive from Kansas City starting to target a little bit more, Travis Kelsey. You can feel it. You can bet on the next.

Starting point is 00:11:33 touchdown scores, drive results, totals, and more. It keeps you locked into every snap, every drive, and every possibility. If you want to be right in the middle of the action this season, visit fandual.com and place your NFL live pets all season. Fandle, the game moves fast, and so can you. Trent, kind of back with you as we continue locked on Hawkeyes, a look at some of the big questions that you have for Iowa football. A couple more here that we are going to get into.

Starting point is 00:12:04 Let's start first with this. Lovar Woods in his departure. We talked a lot last week about that. It's importance to this. A couple of comments coming in. This one from Charles, he says, Michigan State with Fits as a head coach. And now Lovar as an assistant makes him a serious threat to rise up in the conference

Starting point is 00:12:20 and be a top half contender rather than an afterthought. Absolutely agree with you. This is a going out and finding a competent hire in Fits. And he's going to raise, I think, their floor. the days of them going three and nine, two and ten, a witness in the big ten, those kind of things. I think that will rise up. I do have some questions, though,

Starting point is 00:12:41 just how much in the four years that Fitz has been gone, how much college football has changed? Now, from the Iowa perspective, obviously this is going to be a frustrating one. And we will see what they do with special teams. LeVar done such an incredible job as a coordinator in all aspects. The kicking part of it, the punting part of it, the t-shirts that were out there with Tori Taylor and what we had the return game the coverage units just on and on and on Iowa was so always so buttoned up and when there were mistakes and it was a rarity that we saw some snapping issues this time a couple of times that things have gone awry it was just such a surprise that's going to happen overall you're not going to be perfect but Levar was a huge huge part of the success and this run that i was made now over this last decade and you look at them in terms of wins and losses and

Starting point is 00:13:30 LeVar is a big piece of that. And it is going to be certainly something that's going to impact them. Not going to see Michigan State on the schedule for the next couple of years, however. But I do have some questions about fits. And if it's going to be maybe the high end that people are looking for, but if you're Michigan State, maybe that's what you're looking for, just building things up a little bit more. A couple more football questions for you as we continue here.

Starting point is 00:13:54 Some more comments that have come in over the last couple of days. Nice haircut. Thank you. You also see I got a new Christmas president. If you're watching on YouTube, got a new stocking cap. It's going to give me some trouble here falling down on my eyes with the headset on I hear today. But yeah, thanks to the wife and kids for a new stocky cap, new Hawkeye hat. I love showing that one off.

Starting point is 00:14:13 All good and all good for LeVar. Who's to say he won't be the head coach for the Hawkeyes one day that comes in from Droodog, Dowick. Yeah, you know, that is something that is still out there. As LeVar talked about in his press conference when he announced that he has departing after the bowl game is it spreading the wings. He came back to Iowa City to, he wasn't sure what. I mean, it's a guy that elementary education degree, be a teacher, well, played the NFL,

Starting point is 00:14:44 probably thought he was going to be a high school coach. And instead, hanging around the program after he made his way to Iowa City, brought his family back after his playing career comes to an end. They find a spot for him, find a role. And obviously it worked out incredibly well for Iowa and worked out incredibly well for him, but this is an opportunity now for him to learn from somebody else. Although he's talked about some of the great coaches in his career, Kirk Ferrence, one of those people that has brought off every single time,

Starting point is 00:15:10 an opportunity to learn more and to just get different voices and different ways to do things. Definitely not a bad thing by any means. LeVar, at this point of the internal candidates, Iowa had to do something with Seth Wallace. And that's something because he's not going to become the defensive coordinator was they made him the associate head coach. I know a lot of people connect the dots and make that belief that that means that that that's who Kirk Farrant wants and that's going to be the heir apparent.

Starting point is 00:15:36 We'll see on that front, you know, if that plays out, how that plays out, whenever it happens with Kirk Farrants. But agree with you on that front. Absolutely real possibility. Lovar could be the guy that comes back and either takes over for Kirk Farrants or even down the road takes over for the guy that takes over for Kirk Farrant's. Down the road is a guy still in his late 40s, got a lot of football. coaching in front of him. And he does want to be a head coach. This from Charlie LeVar, thanks for all

Starting point is 00:16:02 the work and the good times. Go Hawks. Not Michigan State. Absolutely like that one. A lot, Charlie. A couple more football questions here. And we got some basketball as well on this mailbag edition for you on a Friday. Up next, this is from Bella Tor. I think Iowa is the most deserving of the Joe Moore Award. I think you have to take an account the way Iowa runs their offense. They shorten games on purpose, limits opportunities, and then go to the skill positions. And Iowa doesn't have single player that would have taken a snap for Oregon this season in terms of at the specialist at the skill position guys yeah i'm with you there bellator i was offensive line made the most of what they had to work with behind them you know they graded out really well i just said

Starting point is 00:16:41 that i would take organ over them and i know that probably the organ iowa game had something to do with it just the way that they ran the football there and just the room that they had but those running backs also were a big part of that also definitely something that that sits there. And this wasn't to knock, you know, Iowa by any means. And I think anybody that listens to the show and you are evergators know that, but we're also going to live in reality a little bit, right? And that's something that is going to be the way that we do things here.

Starting point is 00:17:11 We're not just going to be cheerleaders. That's not the way that we do things. Another one here on the Joe Moore Award. A while let the guys enjoy what they earned. That's why I can't watch your videos so negative. Well, Brett, I told you, I'm not going to. to be a cheerleader. Look, you can listen to Gary Dolphin. He does a great podcast himself, and he is going to give you the Hawkeye Spin. I'm going to give you my reality. I am not always a

Starting point is 00:17:36 homer. I get frustrated. I am a fan, like many of you out there. I don't believe that I'm always negative. And if that's your take, that's fine. Look, I completely understand people want to hear about their team many people in a certain way. It's not the way that I'm going to do things. I don't believe that I'm always so negative if you've been listening throughout the course of this season, if you've been listening for the last four years, you've been listening to me for the 20 years on the radio, I would disagree. And plenty of people out there would as well. I don't think that me going out of podcast and saying that if I had a vote, I would have given it to Oregon, is not letting them enjoy it. Look, at both Stevens is sitting there listening,

Starting point is 00:18:17 and he's not. If Trevor Loughke and Logan Jones and Jennings' Dunker are sitting around listening to me, give my perspective, we got some issues. We know that's not the case. If that took away from their enjoyment, I do apologize. I don't think that's what was happening on this front. Let's get one more football in here. One more football question on the Hawkeye mailback. This one from Jay Crypto Gold, nice having entering her back.

Starting point is 00:18:47 Lutmer will have him and him will have a heyday, Lee and some young guys at cornerback. Linebacker should be good. D-line beside Hawthorne is a need. Maybe a rusher, F. F. Vanessa or Meriwether don't step up. Yeah, we talked a lot about that on that defensive spot. I think they have a chance to be special. Once again, when he got Phil Parker running things, you feel good about that front.

Starting point is 00:19:06 And after the downturn that we saw, but I mean, how about guys like Godfrey, you know, what he did in that final game against Nebraska when he was thrust in there? Deshaun Lee also needs, I think, a shout out. And though he didn't play in a full-time role this year, but you got Entringer, you got Lutmer back there. It's a pretty good start. point. We talked in the last podcast, our Christmas episode about my Christmas wish list. And one of those is the linebacker spot, letting the young guys cook and going out there.

Starting point is 00:19:32 O line is stacked. And like you said, maybe our scheme is too much to learn in year number one. Running backs will have plenty of depth, wide receiver, urgent need. Yes, absolutely need wide receivers. And guys that are ready to go right away. Those are your football questions. And you can always send those in on YouTube. Hit up the comment section over there. You can also hit me up on social media at Trent Condon is where you can find me on Twitter or at Lockdown, Iowa, is our show account. But we're not done. We got some basketball questions for you.

Starting point is 00:20:02 What's the latest on Emily Rodriguez, her return to the Iowa women's basketball team? And who should Iowa schedule home and home? We got that coming up on the other side, Locked on Hawkeyes. There's nothing like college football season as it comes to an end here during bowl year, tailgates, pack stadiums, big right. there in the middle of all of it. The energy, the bands, moments you will remember forever. But actually getting tickets, that part used to be frustrating with long queues, logins, and prices jumping at checkout. That's why game time gives the advantage back to fans. It's the easiest

Starting point is 00:20:38 way to unlock amazing college football tickets and experiences in just a few taps. I love being able to see my view from the seat. When I go to Kinnick Stadium, well, I know where I'm going to be, but if you travel, you go to other games, not always the case. In fact, if you're heading to Tampa for the game against Vanderbilt, maybe you've never been there before. You can see exactly where your seat is on the Game Time app. In fact, speaking of that game, I just found a bunch of great deals for the bowl game there. Or maybe it's a different bowl game you're looking for.

Starting point is 00:21:07 Even a playoff game, they got you covered on the Game Time app, and it's not just college football. The NFL continues as we make our way through the final couple of weeks of the season, basketball, and a whole lot more all there for you. My favorite part, though, it is no. surprise fees at checkout up front pricing sets game time apart take the guesswork out of buying college football tickets with game time download the game time app create an account and use code locked on college for $20 off your first purchase terms

And what a start question on Emily, Rodriguez will she won't she what's going to happen on that front as we go through this odd period of time around christmas time the college basketball takes a hiatus unfortunately for

Starting point is 00:23:00 years we used to at least have the rainbow classic out there in hawaii that's not the case anymore but what is going to happen with emily rodriguez i from what we spoke last have not got any more new intel anything like that i think the ball is in her court there are certain parameters that are being asked. Now she has to make the opportunity. She has to make the decision of what she's going to do. So Iowa will take on here in a couple of days, Penn State. It's at home. Iowa favored by 21 points in that game at Bart Torvik. After that, another home game on January 1st as we flipped the calendar to 2006. Iowa gets Nebraska coming in. It should be a great game. Iowa, three-point favorite in that one. Before we get to the new semester, though, at minimum a decision needs to be

Starting point is 00:23:47 made. And you also wonder what this time away is Emily Rodriguez working out. What is she doing? What is she doing physically that when she does return and if she makes the decision to come back, that she's going to be ready for that. That is a component that certainly feels a little bit frustrating and the great unknown. Over on the men's side, why doesn't Iowa schedule a home and home with Creighton every few years? A good opponent for RPI. I don't use the RPI anymore. It's the NET system. Also good have it in Des Moines. Yeah, that's a definite one that we talked about in the past after taking on Bucknell here. I know that's something that Ben McCullum is searching for,

Starting point is 00:24:26 is finding home and homes, also finding an opponent, played those neutral site games in Des Moines, in Sioux Falls, taking on some good opponents in that environment. I don't want to see yearly with Creighton, and I do also wonder if Greg McDermott, with the two Iowa transfers, if he'd be willing to do that here in the short term.

Starting point is 00:24:45 Some other programs I'd like to see, I mean, we go way back to when I was in college. My freshman year, they had the big comeback against Kansas to end the long, long, home win streak that they had a non-conference play at down in Lawrence when they went down to the fog and got the victory and just a nuts because of the night. He was hitting threes from all over the place. That was incredible. But I would love to see that one return.

Starting point is 00:25:10 Is Kansas going to schedule a home and home with Iowa? Probably not at this time. Missouri is a program that we've seen a little bit in the past. I'll go back to the Alford era and they had a couple of really epic games won in a tournament when home and home a series that they played against Mizzou. I think that'd be a good one too.

Starting point is 00:25:27 That'll be interesting to see, though, kind of going forward to what the decision's going to be, what they're going to do, Melrose Hawkins, some good ones coming in there on the men's front. And one final thing, this is when it speaks to men's basketball. And a question that I get a whole lot, what needs to happen for people, Not big picture.

Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah, we talk. Sweet 16, I think, is going to cure a lot of ills for the Iowa fan base. But what's it take for the here and now? For the Iowa fan base to get reinvigorated and to have some great crowds at Carver Hawke Arena, you know, be able to do that and get those big numbers back again. Well, wins are happening. That's a part of it. You look at some of the metrics out there, Iowa 17th, 18th, the country.

Starting point is 00:26:12 They're ranked in the top 25 and both the coaches in the AP poll now going to this week. and don't anticipate that that's going to change. But if they can get something going, and I want to see next week when UCLA comes to town, a blue blood program, national championships. A lot of them were a long time ago. I get that. Mick Cronin, though, has got them back to respectability at minimum.

Starting point is 00:26:36 It's an opponent that, obviously, we don't see, make their way to Iowa City. I don't know if we're going to get a sellout for that game. I don't anticipate that we will, but it works pretty well on the schedule on the third what that's going to look like because if you get that you get the victory against Illinois

Starting point is 00:26:54 against Minnesota then he got Illinois coming in on the 11 and that should be the game if Iowa keeps winning beats UMass Lowell beats UCLA wins at Minnesota that's got to be sold out I mean that's got to be the time that you break through

Starting point is 00:27:10 and the fan base comes out and supports Ben McCullough of what he's doing and trying to change the culture of this Iowa basketball program. I understand, a lot going on. Times are tough for some people. You compound that with the success that we see with women's basketball and the way the people just gravitated to that program, even on the heels of Caitlin Clark, what wrestling

Starting point is 00:27:31 does. I know a lot of people, there's only so much discretionary income. And as we talk about here, where I'm based in Des Moines, you also throw in that component to it. People may can travel during the winter months, not always easy. But if that could happen, it could be a. special environment there with Illinois coming to town. And boy, that would be great to see and see Carver Rockin again for some men's basketball

Starting point is 00:27:52 as it has for wrestling and certainly for women's basketball here recently. That'll do it for today. Thanks for being with us. We got more coming up over the weekend.
