The program adds pieces here and there, but has not made a big splash in the transfer portal market to this point in Ferentz's tenure.
Quarterback Mark Gronowski has been one of the few exceptions that have come in and made an immediate impact for the program, and for the Hawkeyes to continue succeeding, Ferentz and his staff must utilize the portal to fill some key openings.
Iowa's philosophy under Ferentz has always been skewed towards recruiting and developing players in the program, but with the changing landscape of college football, the program must adapt.
