Time to get the podcast machine fired up again to start the month of June. Tom Kakert and Kyle Huesmann get you caught up on the latest news in the world of Iowa athletics. This week there is plenty to cover when it comes to Iowa baseball, Hawkeye men's and women's hoops, an update on Caitlin Clark and the abuse she is taking in the WNBA, and we have a lot of football news as well. We open the show discuss the news this past week regarding Iowa baseball and Rick Heller is looking for a new pitching coach. What's the latest on that front? Also the portal for baseball opens this week. Which players could be return for the Hawkeyes and what might the starting rotation look like for Iowa next season? Then we turn our attention to Iowa women's basketball. Jan Jensen could be making the hire of an assistant coach as soon as this week. What do we think that assistant might be like and what skill set do they need? We also talk about Jensen making a couple of new offers and hosting a 2026 visitor and we get a status report on the Class of 2025 recruiting.  We then discuss the ugly play by the Chicago Sky towards Cailtin Clark this past weekend and how that whole situation is getting messy in the WNBA and how petty some of the players are being towards the former Hawkeye.  After that it's Iowa football talk. We discuss the release of start times late last week and how the Hawkeyes now have start times for half their regular season games. We discuss the addition of another walk-on quarterback, Ben Kueter winning a U20 title this past weekend and what that could mean for his football season early on this fall, and a big Iowa Swarm event coming up June 17th at the I-80 Truckstop in Walcott.  Finally we wrap up the pod talking Iowa hoops. Payton Sandfort is back, which is huge news for the Hawkeyes NCAA Tournament chances this season. And we update recruiting in the Class of 2025 after Fran McCaffery handed out a bunch of new offers in the middle of last week.

It's another edition of the Hawkeye Report Podcast and this time, unfortunately, we are wrapping up a very frustrating Iowa Baseball season. Tom Kakert and Kyle Huesmann discuss Iowa's controversial loss on Thursday to Illinois. Kyle was in Omaha and was actually the pool reporter who spoke to the Big Ten head umpire about the interference call that essentially ended the Hawkeye comeback in the tenth inning and the Iowa baseball season.  We look back at the missed opportunities in the last two games of the season and go in-depth on the season, which is filled with what if's all over the place. We discuss the season and how the pitching, particularly the bullpen, struggled a good portion of the season and how the team gave up too many walks.  Then we look at the hitters and how two key injuries late were essentially a final blow to the season. Finally, we look ahead to next season, at least as much as we can. Brody Brecht is moving on, but beyond that a whole lot of question marks that we explore.  We wrap up talking about Payton Sandfort, who met with the media earlier on Thursday following a workout at Golden State. With less than a week until he has to make a decision, what did Sandfort have to say about his workouts, his performance at the NBA Combine, and when he might make his decision about the future. 

Chris Williams and Chris Hassel talk travel etiquette, Tyrese Haliburton's Pacers getting to the conference finals, and the aura he brings to his game. Diving into Iowa hoops, Payton Sandfort's draft stock, a NASCAR fight, and aliens. All this and more presented by Fareway Meat & Grocery. Learn more about your ad choices.

More on that event, hopefully next week.  Now the news of the week. We do a little housekeeping getting everyone caught up on what turned out to be a very busy and eventful week in Hawkeye sports. We first discuss the start for Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. She's being guarded closely and tighter than any player in the league. What should be take away from the start she has had and is there glimpses of progress?  Then we stick with Iowa women's hoops and talk about hte Jan Jensen hire. What did she have to say about recruiting? What about hiring an assistant coach to replace herself on the staff? They will be on the road this weekend, how was that addressed? And after talking to Iowa AD Beth Goetz, how were they able to keep this massive news under wraps for a few days? We move on to Iowa men's hoops and the signing of Manhattan transfer Seydou Traore. What is Iowa getting in Traore and how did he perform against high major foes? How does this impact the Iowa frontcourt this season? We also look at how Payton Sandfort performed at the NBA Combine? Is he expected to return for one more season? When does he have to decide? Finally we discuss the Iowa football team adding a wide receiver, who happens to have been the roomate of new Hawkeye QB Brendan Sullivan.

Rob Howe answers your Twitter/X questions in the HF Mailbag Podcast. In this episode, we talk about Payton Sandfort's triple-double, the logistics of a weekday night game at Kinnick Stadium, takeaways from Iowa women's basketball loss at Indiana and more.

We had to squeeze one more podcast in before the holidays. There was a good reason because Brock Harding had his first career double-double for the Hawkeyes, so Matt Randazzo needed to take a victory lap.  We talks about Harding's big night, but also Ben Krikke and Payton Sandfort having a double-double and Tony Perkins catching fire. But, this leads to a larger discussion of why Iowa fans are not coming out to watch this basketball team? What, if anything, can be done to get more fans to come out to games? Then we wrap up signing day coverage with a look at the recruiting class just inked by the Hawkeyes. How do they rank nationally and what were some of the thoughts about it shared by Kirk Ferentz and Tyler Barnes. What has Barnes been focused on? Also retaining six Iowa players for next season. We discuss the chances of that happening.  Finally we wrap up picking the Big Ten bowl games this year, including the Iowa/Tennessee game. 

Trent Condon returns for the latest edition of the Locked on Hawkeyes Podcast. A look at the football signing day press conference and some quotes from Kirk Ferentz on the search for a new offensive coordinator and what is happening in preparation for the bowl games in Orlando against Tennessee. Then a look at what recruiting director Tyler Barnes had to say about the recruiting class and a look at the biggest part on the press conference. Barnes talked about the transfer portal and Iowa not being active as they are trying to bring back 6 players for a bonus year. Finally an instant reaction look back at Iowa basketball as the Hawkeyes ran past UMBC 103-81. Good games from Tony Perkins, Brock Harding, Ben Krikke and Payton Sandfort. Some concerns on the defensive end continue and Fran McCaffery wasn't happy about it. The problem with those comments from Coach McCaffery. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Iowa basketball picks up an exhibition win over Truman State 118-72. Trent Condon reacts to the win and talks about the new starting line up with Tony Perkins running the point, Payton Sandfort at the 2, Patrick McCaffery as the small forward, Kris Murray at the 4 and Filip Rebraca in the middle. Plenty of positives and then some deeper analytical numbers diving a little deeper into the box score from the win. Thoughts on the season and what kind of team Iowa can be and why the point guard spot will look different this year. After the Iowa football win over Northwestern, people are talking about bowl games. Trent breaks down the Big Ten bowl tie ins and if there is a potential path to the Big Ten Championship game (and if they actually want to see if). Plus, a quick peek ahead to the Iowa team in 2023.
