Nicholas Baer is a former walk on basketball player to the University of Iowa. Born in Iowa city, he grew up in Bettendorf where he became one of the states best prep basketball players before becoming a Hawkeye. Nick joins the show to talk all things Iowa basketball including his thoughts on some of the current Hawkeyes, playing for Fran Mccaffery, and what he misses most. He also catches everyone up on what his life looks like now in the G league playing for the Raptors affiliate team. Here is a summary of what Nick accomplished as a Hawkeye: Non-scholarship athlete his first two years, academically, before earning a scholarship following his redshirt freshman season (spring of 2016)… only player in program history to surpass 750 points, 500 rebounds, 100 assists, 100 steals, 100 blocks, and 100 3-point field goals… third Hawkeye since 1980 to lead the team in steals three consecutive seasons (Dean Oliver, Steve Carfino)… first Hawkeye since 1980 to lead the team in steals and blocks in the same season twice (2017, 2019)… first Hawkeye since Jeff Horner in 2005-06 to lead the team in steals in back-to-back seasons (1.3 spg in 2017 and 1.0 spg in 2018)… only player to win all four games in the seven-year history of the four-team Hy-Vee Classic… reached double figures 29 times and had four double-doubles… averaged 8.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and two steals in four games representing Iowa on the 2016 USA East Coast All-Stars team… four-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree… three-time Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree for the Iowa men’s basketball team… averaged 7.3 points, four rebounds, and a team-best 1.75 steals on Iowa’s four-game tour in Europe in August, 2018… twice named to the NABC Honors Court and earned the team’s Academic Excellence Award twice. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/washed-up-walkons/support

National college basketball writer Reid Forgrave stopped by to discuss some of college basketball’s biggest story-lines at this point in the season. Duke has already lost a game, but could go down as one of the all-time great teams in college basketball. Will UCLA really fire Steve Alford if he doesn’t get to the Elite 8? One the nation’s biggest surprises is obviously the red hot start that Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears are on. Reid has always been a big Scott Drew fan and he explains why. The Hy-Vee Classic takes place in Des Moines this weekend and Iowa State is set to face Drake. Is the neutral court set up good for college basketball teams in the state? Should beer be served at all college basketball games? Duh. The Cyclones have one good win (Miami) on their resume. What is the perception nationally of their resume and season to this point? We appreciate Reid taking the time to join us on the podcast. It was a very fun and informative conversation. Keep your eyes out for a piece written by Reid in the next GQ magazine next week.
