Iowa’s spring depth chart “doesn't mean a lot,” but here are some notes from the Hawkeyes’ spring depth chart and roster.

Kirk Ferentz is “certainly not a basketball expert,” but the longest-tenured FBS head coach praised Caitlin Clark’s vision and demeanor, among other qualities.

Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara is “really limited” in spring practices as he continues to recover from last year’s knee injury, Kirk Ferentz said in a news conference on Tuesday.
