Quarterback becomes a dire need for the Hawkeyes
Iowa and quarterback is starting to sound like oil and water. At this point, it’s fair to consider whether Phil Parker has any juice left in his arm. But in all seriousness, it’s a major concern and one that cannot go unaddressed before fall camp comes around. However...

Olsen was the NCAA’s third-leading scorer last season, averaging 23.3 points per game on a career-best 43.8% field goal shooting. Iowa doesn’t want to stop there, though. The Hawkeyes are looking to add serious talent to their roster for the 2024-25 women’s college basketball season. Kyle Huesmann of Hawkeye Report with On3 is reporting Iowa women’s basketball has reached out to Arkansas transfer forward Maryam Dauda. The 6-foot-4 forward was a consensus five-star recruit in the 2021 class and was a McDonald’s All-American....

Northwestern transfer QB Brendan Sullivan visiting Iowa on Tuesday
The Iowa Hawkeyes are welcoming in an important visitor on Tuesday. Tyler Tachman of the Des Moines Register reported that former Northwestern quarterback Brendan Sullivan is visiting Iowa City and the Hawkeyes on Tuesday. It’s a pairing that could make sense for both parties. If Iowa can sell Sullivan on joining the Hawkeyes, Sullivan would add a proven signal-caller to the equation and some much-needed depth. The 6-foot-3, 225 pound quarterback has appeared in 13 games over his career and started eight with Northwestern the past two seasons. Northwestern had a 2-2 record with Sullivan as its starting quarterback last season, including his career-best performance...
