Iowa basketball fans have been eager for news regarding the transfer portal since the 2021-2022 season came to an end in the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. The Hawkeyes were forced to play small most of the season with deficiencies both in the rim protecting and rebounding departments.
Then in March, reserve big man Josh Ogundele put his name into the transfer portal and the need for a big man went from necessary to desperately so. Since that time, the Hawkeyes have seen their name attached to a number of bigs in the portal but to-date, none have announced a transfer into the program.
