This midsummer episode shifts away from our usual football focus to explore the buzz around Iowa men’s basketball—a level of excitement Hawkeye fans haven’t experienced in years. We discuss the commitment of a highly-rated 2025 forward, a 6-foot-8 versatile player reclassifying to join Iowa early, and what this major recruiting win indicates for the program. The spotlight then shifts to the energy surrounding the team and the general excitement for the upcoming basketball season.

In this episode, Tyler and Collin debate bold predictions for the upcoming season, such as "Will Iowa have a wide receiver eclipse 500 yards?" or "Can the Hawkeyes pull off a top-10 upset?" We will evaluate these predictions with either a “Shot” (it will happen) or a “No Shot” (it will not happen) and discuss each one briefly. Let us know in the comments if you agree or disagree with any of them!(Time stamps might be slightly off due to advertisements)
