    STORY: Iowa adds 2x JUCO All-American heavyweight to men's 2026 recruiting class

    Did you see AJ just got engaged. Hopefully another step in maturity for the young man.

    157 next year

    Why are so many people discounting Estrada. He was a true Freshman and stepped up and showed a lot of fight. Redshirted this last year, but I would assume with another year and a half in the program he will be even better. I would prefer Block to move up to 57 and Estrada at 149.

    Portal 2026 is Now Open

    Interesting that Banks has declared for the draft and entered his name in the transfer portal. I figured he would want to return, I know there were a few off-court issues but he would have been in a more prominent role this year without Stirtz

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    I think people need to look back at McCabe as a great example. If you go watch her freshman playing season she was slow, seemed super stiff, and only when given a wide open opportunity would she have time to get her shot off. She got better every single year. Deal did not play as well as she...

    AJ Epenesa signs with Browns

    As a commanders fan I wouldn't mind them picking up A.J. as I think they can still use some edge help. Maybe after the draft depending on who they pick.

    If Tavion Banks returns in 2026-27, we would have 0 Open Roster Spots (14 players are officially signed)

    I am certainly not positive, but I thought Jesse Shaw put out on X that he was coming to Iowa as an Assistant and I feel like I remember the rumblings were that he might have gotten out ahead of his skis and he ended up getting brought in but not in the assistant role. I wonder if Ben keeps...

    If Tavion Banks returns in 2026-27, we would have 0 Open Roster Spots (14 players are officially signed)

    I am hoping Joey M sees the writing on the wall and takes his talent to a lower division and excels. I am really hoping all of the press and interviews have sold those that will be going into the portal that Ben is a coach you want to play for. Give credit to Fran with putting players over the...

    Press Conference

    I listen to a lot of Cory's postgame shows and when he is on with Mark Rogers. Frankly I thought he kept it professional and asked hard questions. How many times do we complain about how the reporters never ask the hard question.

    Ben Kueter

    Heal up Ben! I am curious how long Iowa Football will continue to fund the scholarship if Ben continues to wrestle and not be healthy for the football season. I can't imagine how grueling it is to be in one D1 Power 4 level let alone 2.

    *****2026-27 Transfer Portal News*****

    Your random guesses would be incredibly scary outside of Johnson. I think Mallegni still has a lot of potential to play some good minutes off the bench, Houston will be a big factor next year, Deal will be greatly improved, and I am hoping Rodriguez sticks but she is one that I would not be...

    I'll be that guy...

    I keep seeing people mention grinder ball. First watching it does not seem like grinder ball because of how much movement there is in the offense. Second if he has 5* players he will run a faster tempo offense, but Ben is smart enough to know that if you are going to win with the team he has...

    *****FDU vs Iowa NCAAT Game Thread*****

    Deal obviously had a terrible shooting day, but I did appreciate how active and on point some of her passes were. Today she played more like a non-shooting PG. I am sure she is as disappointed in her shooting today as anyone. I am not sure why, but I have a feeling tomorrow is a great bounce...

    Need Guards Next Year

    Agreed they need at least one for sure. I think the combo of an improved Addie, Chit Chat, Taylor, and player X is a good guard rotation. If player X is not, you must add a three point specialist that can replace McCabe off the bench a few years ago.

    Medal round thread

    If Davino wins and Mendez wins then OSU jumps us. If Davino loses (likely) than we have secured 4th.

    Why did Spratley choose to go down when he was down by 2 in rideouts and would have to get a takedown
