The preseason award nominations are stacking up for new Hawkeye Bennett Stirtz

Media Days have come and gone, signaling that college basketball is just around the corner.

The new-look Hawkeyes are in a transition period following a 17-16 (7-13 Big Ten) record last season, and the firing of long-time Head Coach Fran McCaffery.

The Hawkeyes declined all invitations to postseason play, giving them a jump-start on their search for a new head coach.

A week after McCaffery was fired, the program hired Ben McCollum, signaling a new era for Iowa Men's Basketball.

A part of the process for the Hawkeye program was rebuilding their roster, including bringing in five players from McCollum's former Drake Bulldogs squad.
