Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:00:00 GMT

This week on Fight for Iowa, Gary Dolphin sits down with new Iowa running backs coach Jay Norvell.

He discusses why returning to his alma mater was the right move, the transition from offensive analyst to running backs coach, and the opportunity to mentor a talented Hawkeye backfield led by Kamari Moulton. Norvell also reflects on his playing days under Hayden Fry, his years as a head coach, and his excitement for the future of Iowa Football as the Hawkeyes prepare to open the 2026 season at Kinnick Stadium.

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 18:01:10 GMT

Iowa Hawkeyes athletics faces a new era as the Swarm Collective shuts down, raising major questions about the future of NIL funding and player retention in Iowa City.

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 17:25:19 GMT

Iowa Hawkeyes fans are bracing for a pivotal football season—can consistency hold, or is a true rebuild on the horizon? The conversation focused on the fierce quarterback battle between Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown, evaluating Mark Gronowski’s explosive running game, and what could shift Iowa beyond the familiar 7-5 or 8-4 finish. Analysis includes Iowa’s impressive decade-long win record, tough Big Ten road tests versus Michigan and Ohio State, and the evolving implications of NCAA eligibility rules and the transfer portal for Kirk Ferentz’s squad.

The discussion explored Ben McCollum’s recruiting strategy for men’s basketball, the prospect of European player additions, and whether nepotism will shadow the post-McCaffrey era. On the women’s basketball side, insights centered on point guard Chit Chat’s development, support from Bria Medina and Taylor Stremlo, and the dynamic potential of a backcourt featuring Dani Carnegie. Will the Hawkeyes seize this turning point and rise above expectations?

Hawkeye Report Podcast 798

Tom Kakert — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 01:16:00 GMT

We continue our summer podcast series with a first time guest on the Hawkeye Report Podcast. Tom Kakert is joined by the host of Locked On Hawkeyes Podcast and now former KXNO host, Trent Condon. It's been an eventful week for Condon and he discusses the last week for him from a professional sense with the owners of KXNO essentially dumping all the talent at the station.

We spend the bulk of the time on this podcast talking Iowa football and basketball. We open that discussion by talking about Hawkeye football. The conversation starts with the concerns heading into the season regarding the Iowa defense, particularly the tackle position. We break down the line, the linebackers, and Zach Lutmer and the Hawkeye secondary. Is this as simple as in Phil Parker we trust?

Then we move to special teams. There's a whole lot of change at the position, starting with the coordinator and then moving on to both the kicker and the punter, along with finding a new return man. Then we move to the offensive side of the ball and discuss the quarterback battle, the upgrade of talent at receiver and if it will pay dividends, and why the offensive line will be strong again this season. Plus we look at Iowas win total of 7.5. Will they go over or under that total.

After that we move on to men's basketball and talk about the program that Ben McCollum is building. We discuss the addition of Andrew McKeever and what he will do for the Iowa team and McCollum having a legit seven footer for the first time and what that might be like. Could we see a twin towers look for the Hawkeyes? What about the development of Trevin Jirak? And we talk about scheduling and how McCollum has put together a solid non-conference slate of games.
