A lot of ground to cover on the podcast this week. Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo look back at the Hawekyes trip to Madison Square Garden and what happened in the game against Duke. We discuss the shooting woes for Iowa right now and preview the game against Iowa State on Thursday night. Then we dive into the transfer portal news and Iowa players leaving and run down the list of potential targets for the Hawkeyes, including a long list of wide receivers. Finally we talk about Iowa’s upcoming bowl game, which will be a battle of backup quarterbacks.

I think there is a chance Jack Campbell returns. It sounds crazy cause he would certainly be losing money, but he would still make a good about amount of NIL money. Secondly, he is a really loyal person. Thirdly, Jacobs is leaving, which is probably him going for more money but it could also be in part cause he might know. Lastly and definitely most importantly, Jack’s girlfriend is a basketball player for Drake University in Iowa. Presumably since they have been dating for a while and Jack is a religious guy they’ll get married out of college, but there is no way they would get married and then proceed to do long distance as she still has a year of college basketball left where she is playing well. I think there is a chance, if Jack does not overly care about money, that Jack stays one more year making NIL money while she plays basketball, they get married after the year, and then Jack goes pro. I know it is a crazy take, but I think there is way more of a chance than people are thinking.
