Iowa Hawkeyes Sports

Women’s basketball: Caitlin Clark’s much-anticipated return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena is Sunday (maybe), when the Indiana Fever face the Brazil National Team. She missed Saturday’s preseason opener vs. Washington due to a leg injury.

Iowa’s three transfer portal commitments in a seven-day span are at position groups that could benefit from more depth.

The Hawkeyes already “got the piece we absolutely had to have” with Chazadi “Chit-Chat” Wright. Now, Jan Jensen is “vetting” a couple other players.

Tate Sage, who was recruited to Drake by Ben McCollum, will join McCollum’s Iowa program.

Women’s basketball: Iowa will face Nebraska twice again next season, everybody else once in a schedule that is flipped from 2024-25.

Kirk Ferentz believes the anticipated late change to the NCAA’s 2025-26 roster limit rules could reward schools that “maybe weren’t thinking about what’s best for their players.”

University of Iowa’s Jaylee Ojo has overcome injury to return to the batter’s box. Despite six previous plate appearances in the last month since being cleared to bat again, she delivered a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth of Iowa’s 5-0 win over Iowa State Tuesday at Pearl Field.

Ty Hudkins joins the Hawkeyes with three seasons of eligibility remaining.
