In March, ESPN and Omaha Productions announced their plans for the four-part “Full Court Press” docuseries. It would follow three women’s basketball players – Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso and Kiki Rice – through the 2023-24 season with interviews and a behind-the-scenes look at what turned out to be a record-breaking year. Ahead of the premiere May 11, Omaha Productions released the first teaser. “Full Court Press” will debut on ABC and ESPN+ with a two-part premiere on May 11 and the final two parts the next day, May 12. By following Clark and Cardoso, the show followed two of the top three...

As women’s basketball soared in popularity this past season, Caitlin Clark was at the center of the conversation. The NCAA’s all-time leading scorer led Iowa to a national championship appearance before becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft to the Indiana Fever. However, the Hawkeyes lost in the title game to undefeated South Carolina. But Clark still generated a buzz after her college career ended and, despite falling short in Cleveland, even appeared on Saturday Night Live with jokes for Michael Che ahead of the draft. To LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson – whose Tigers lost to Clark in the...

After selecting one of college football’s most popular players in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears are clearing room on the roster. They waived punter Trenton Gill on Wednesday to make room for former Iowa star Tory Taylor. Gill spent the last two seasons in Chicago and totaled more than 3,000 punt yards each year. In 2023, he punted 67 times for 3,088 yards and eight touchbacks. The Bears ranked in the bottom half of the NFL in punt yards, though, checking in at No. 22. But Ryan Poles saw an opportunity to make a splash on special teams by taking a special player in Taylor, who captivate...

Kirk Ferentz and Iowa were almost forced into a change at offensive coordinator. Giving Brian Ferentz gave people something fun to talk about but even then, the Hawkeyes fell well short of expectations. After an extensive search, the Hawkeyes landed on former Western Michigan coach Tim Lester to take over the unit. Only hired in late January, Iowa is still going through the “process” of learning the new offense. It began with the coaching staff, having to adapt to what Lester is used to calling. Meetings took place over a couple of months, preparing people inside the program for spring practic...

Former Oklahoma State wrestling national champion AJ Ferrari teased a commitment to Iowa with a tweet Wednesday. Ferrari, who’s the eldest of three brothers, has long been rumored to end up at Iowa to continue his college wrestling career. He hasn’t wrestled officially since 2022 and most recently wrestled at the Soldier Salute Tournament back in December, going unattached. But, he’s been training with Iowa based on his social media posts over the last few months and he posted a photo with Hawkeyes’ heavyweight Ben Keuter. “Hawkeye Gang upper-weights are Dangerous,” Ferrari wrote on Twitter. “...

After wrapping up spring practices, Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz is feeling pretty good about the overall health of his team. As far as he can tell, no one should be out or dealing with anything major by the time fall camp rolls around. And outside of a few guys recovering from knee injuries that need some more time before getting fully back — including quarterback Cade McNamara — Ferentz is hopeful most of his players will be fully healthy by June or July. “The good news, I guess, is we have certain guys that were never out there this spring and those guys will be fine by June,” Ferentz said....

The Chicago Bears walked away as one of the bigger winners of the 2024 NFL Draft. Still, while their two Top-10 picks were clear victories, Mel Kiper Jr. says the success of the five-man class will come down to their selections in the later rounds, including Iowa P Tory Taylor. Kiper gave the Bears a grade of a B during an episode of ‘First Draft’ on Monday with Field Yates. He said that’s already as high as it is because of the pair of obvious picks that Chicago made in the opening portion of the first round. “I think that the first two picks were gimmes. I mean anybody could have made those ...

The 2024 NFL Draft has come and gone and players now know where they’ll be spending the next few months or next few years suiting up. For former USC quarterback Caleb Williams that was always a foregone conclusion as the No. 1 overall pick. In fact, few could take it easy like Williams could as he watched the rest of the draft unfold. And when the Chicago Bears dialed up the pick in the fourth round, Williams was watching. Intently. Maybe. In any case, he was watching enough to chime in. Who was the pick? It was Iowa punter Tory Taylor, one of the first specialists off the board in the 2024 NF...

Being a white corner in the National Football League is rarified territory. There have only been a select few in the league’s history: Jason Sehorn and Troy Apke are the only two that come to mind. Former Iowa star Cooper DeJean was dynamic enough to be one of the more explosive athletes in college football the past few seasons. As a white corner, he’s well aware that he’s a rare breed, but it’s the last thing on his mind as he takes the field. Recently after being drafted, the dynamic defender recently discussed whether or not being white limits his chances of playing corner in the NFL. “I me...

The Pittsburgh Steelers used the second pick of the sixth round to select Iowa defensive tackle Logan Lee. And now we know the contract details. It’s a four-year deal worth $4.246 million, with an average of $1.061 million. That’s according to Spotrac.com. Lee acknowledged that he grew up a Steelers fan during post-draft interviews. “I am beyond blessed,” Lee told reporters. The defensive tackle grew up in Orion, Illinois. “I started really getting into the thick of the historical NFL stuff,” he said. “I just loved the Steel Curtain era stuff. (And) I loved watching Mel Blount slam people on t...
