Iowa Hawkeyes creeping up in College Football Playoff sleeper team picks
Iowa Hawkeyes creeping up in College Football Playoff sleeper team picks Since its inception in 2014, the College Football Playoff has opened the door for many more teams to have a chance at a national championship. Once you get into the field, fans have learned that anything can happen. With the field now expanded to 12 teams, there is more hope to be spread around among college football fan bases. One team and fan base that has been knocking at the door but not yet entered the College Football Playoff party is the Iowa Hawkeyes. A perennial winning program, Iowa has been on the cusp of making an appearance multiple times, only to fall one game short. With a new quarterback in Mark Gronowski, who many view as a large upgrade for Iowa, and a roster constructed to blow by their projected win totals, could 2025 be the season Iowa kicks down the door and enters the College Football Playoff? On3's college football reporter Ari Wasserman believes that could be the case. He has the Iowa Hawkeyes included among his Big Ten and SEC teams that could make noise in the 2025 College Football Playoff. Iowa When you think about Iowa football, you think about laughably bad offense and great defense. It seems to be the same there every single year. But guess what? Iowa brought in quarterback Mark Gronowski from South Dakota State. If you haven't watched his tape, do it. The Hawkeyes have a chance at a semi-explosive offense with a healthy Gronowski at the helm. It's a borderline lock that the Hawkeyes will have an elite defense. Dare to dream. - Wasserman, On3 With a defense that is always steady under defensive coordinator Phil Parker, Iowa has a puncher's chance with a competent offense that shows a pulse. If they can get life from the offense, they become a very dangerous team that could take down a title contender to punch their own ticket to the postseason. Other Big Ten teams pegged as sleepers by Wasserman include the Illinois Fighting Illini who are ascending rapidly under head coach Bret Bielema who is paired with elite QB Luke Altmyer, the Nebraska Cornhuskers who are looking to continue their growth under head coach Matt Rhule, and the Washington Huskies, a newer team in the Big Ten looking to make a big splash.

Mid-American Canoe and Kayak Race a tradition that draws people every year to the Fox River
The annual Mid-American Canoe and Kayak Race on Saturday drew people from all over to the Fox River, including Steve Aydt of Arlington Heights and his 16-year-old daughter Abby. 'This is something my dad has done, but for me it's my first time,' Abby said with a big smile on Saturday morning along the river in St. Charles. 'I'm not sure how this is going to go but I think it will be fun.' First held in 1961, the event sponsored by the Fox Valley Park District included both competitive and recreational divisions. Launch points were offered in St. Charles for a 10-mile course and Batavia for a six-mile course, with both courses ending in Aurora. Facility manager at the Fox Valley Park District's Prisco Community Center Lynn Piotrowski, the coordinator of the event, spoke Thursday before the race and said some recent rain helped the event by increasing water speed on the river without causing any danger. 'With the race we have inched back up to comfortable speeds as we're at 760 cubic feet per second which is low but not painfully low,' she said. 'Earlier we were down in the 400 range and we popped up a bit.' She said the event remains a popular one. 'We have a total of 292 participants and 200 boats, which is right on target where we were last year. We're excited about that as our numbers came up a lot in the last week,' she said. 'Our numbers actually doubled in the last week and a half. I think a lot of people were holding out to see what the weather would do after the crazy weather of last year.' A steady stream of participants were gathered in bright sunshine at the launch point at Mt. St. Mary Park in St. Charles on Saturday morning. Steve Aydt said he has participated in the race for a few years. 'We signed up for the competitive race but we're going to go at our own pace and enjoy the day,' he said about his daughter and himself. 'I'm not here to break a record. This is a great way to spend time with my daughter and a day on the water.' Jerry Grimes of Aurora said that he had participated in the annual local race 'over 40 times.' 'More than that, we started in 1981. It's a family event. I've got my nephew here and his dad. We're in the adult-youth division,' he said. 'We've won our division a number of times but there are other canoes out here that are just unbelievable.' Jeff Grimes, 16, who said he would be competing with his uncle Jerry, said this was his third year doing the race and that the hardest part of racing 'is going out by the dams.' 'You have to avoid the dams and then getting out and going back in,' he said. Peter Leonard of St. Charles said he has come to the race 'a dozen times.' 'This is the only race I go to because it's local,' he said. 'I like that this is traditional and it gets people from all over and is put on very well by the park district.'

Former Iowa basketball assistant reportedly lands new role in SEC
Former Iowa basketball assistant reportedly lands new role in SEC Former Iowa basketball standout and recent Hawkeye assistant coach Matt Gatens is reportedly set for a new gig in the SEC. According to Justin Hokanson of Auburn Live win On3, Gatens is joining Bruce Pearl's staff at Auburn as the Tigers' general manager. Gatens would help oversee and influence transfer portal recruiting, high school recruiting, NIL requirements, scouting and roster strategy. Gatens' ties to Bruce Pearl and the Auburn program date back to his work as a graduate assistant with Auburn during the 2017-18 season when the Tigers won the SEC championship. Gatens' father, Mike Gatens, was a close friend of Pearl during Pearl's time as an assistant at Iowa from 1986-1992. The 35-year-old spent each of the past three seasons as an assistant coach on Fran McCaffery's staff. But, after McCaffery's dismissal, Gatens was not retained on staff by new Iowa head men's basketball coach Ben McCollum. Prior to his three seasons as an assistant coach in Iowa City, Gatens spent four seasons on Drake's coaching staff. Gatens served as director of operations his first two years at Drake before being elevated to an assistant coach in his last two seasons. The former Iowa Mr. Basketball and Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior at Iowa City High School, Gatens was a four-year starter for the Hawkeyes from 2009-12. His final two seasons were McCaffery's first two as Iowa's head coach. During Gatens' senior season, Iowa advanced to the NIT for its first postseason appearance under McCaffery and for its first postseason appearance in six seasons. Gatens was a two-time All-Big Ten selection, two-time team captain, two-time academic all-conference honoree, recipient of the 2012 Chris Street Award, and voted to the 2009 Big Ten All-Freshman team. Gatens amassed 1,635 points and 239 3-pointers ranking 10th and third, respectively, in Iowa history. In 128 career games, he averaged 12.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per contest.
