Iowa Hawkeyes face critical offseason questions as roster gaps linger and transfer portal drama unfolds. Can Tim Lester and Kirk Ferentz attract elite wide receiver talent after a season marked by missed opportunities and offensive limitations? The departure of captain Koen Entringer and coaching shifts—Matt Campbell to Penn State, LeVar Woods to Michigan State—raise stakes for the Hawkeyes, while defensive needs intensify after lackluster sack numbers.

Trent Condon and Todd Brommelkamp debate Iowa’s 2025 outlook, including Mark Gronowski’s legacy and the pressure to evolve in a changing Big Ten, spotlighting Indiana’s meteoric rise. Basketball analysis heats up with Ben McCollum’s squad regrouping after a stinging road loss to Minnesota, entering a pivotal stretch against Illinois. On the women’s side, Jan Jensen’s team struggles with turnovers but stays in the hunt, with Indiana looming. Can the Hawkeyes make the moves needed to reach the next level?
