Locked On Hawkeyes - Daily Podcast On Iowa Hawkeyes Football & Basketball PORTAL POWER? Hawkeye Hoops Targets, Ben McCollum NEW Contract in the Works —Transfer Buzz
Iowa Hawkeyes amp up transfer portal action as Athletic Director Beth Goetz negotiates a contract extension for coach Ben McCollum after an electrifying Elite Eight run. Is Iowa basketball primed for an even bigger breakthrough next season? With names like Isaiah Johnson and Finley Bizjack spotlighted as potential portal targets, the search for a rim-protecting center and lead guard heats up, raising questions about defensive fits and long-term roster strategy.
Host Trent Condon breaks down the Hawkeyes’ surge in offseason support, McCollum’s decision to turn down North Carolina, and Beth Goetz’s commitment to investing in the program. Associated Press’ John Bohnenkamp joins to discuss spring football, young player development, and the ongoing rebuilding of the baseball and softball squads. The conversation explores NIL momentum, the Big Ten’s championship streak, and whether Iowa’s resources can turn “portal speed dating” into sustained success. Will McCollum’s rising stock deliver a contender?
