Indiana Fever general manager Lin Dunn says interest in the team has skyrocketed heading into Monday night’s WNBA Draft. The Fever are expected to take Iowa star Caitlin Clark with the first pick.

ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo says the interest in this year’s draft is unlike anything she has seen.

The Iowa State football team has a talented group of wide receivers working to get better in spring drills. Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins combined for 119 receptions and 13 touchdowns last season. Noel led the way with 66 catches.

The Cyclones have added another weapon through the transfer portal. Isaiah Alston played at Army before joining the ISU program.

With so many key players on both sides of the ball returning the expectations for the Cyclones will be high next season.

ISU’s spring game is April 20th.

(Radio Iowa) – The Hoosier State is now banking on its own Caitlin Clark Effect, as the Indiana Fever is expected to pick the University of Iowa star basketball player during Monday’s W-N-B-A draft. Cathy DuBois, dean of the College of Business at Ball State University in Muncie, says Clark is an absolute national phenomenon and the sky’s the limit for the West Des Moines native, wherever she goes.

A Ball State study predicts Clark’s addition to the Fever roster will bring another 12-hundred fans to each game in the upcoming season, many of whom will be coming from outside the region. That means plenty of dollars spent in hotels, restaurants, and other entertainment venues during their stay.

Clark led the Hawkeyes to two consecutive national championship games, including the match with South Carolina this past Sunday which set a record for television viewers.

Clark’s number, 22, was retired during a celebration on Wednesday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on the U-I campus, after a season during which she racked up a long series of awards and national records.

With the new countrywide focus on women’s basketball, DuBois predicts the entire professional league will benefit as Clark joins its ranks.

Another study done in part at Ball State found more than 162-thousand media stories featured Clark during the N-C-double-A tournament, resulting in 177-billion media impressions valued at more than 2-point-6 billion dollars.

Iowa defensive end Max Llewellyn says earning the trust of defensive line coach Kelvin Bell has allowed him to take the next step. The junior from Urbandale appeared in all 14 games last season and had a career high in tackles in a Citrus Bowl loss to Tennessee.

Llewellyn says that trust and the experience he gained has given him more confidence.

The Hawkeyes close out spring drills on April 20th with an open practice.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team defeated St. Thomas, 17-11, on Wednesday night at Duane Banks Field.

The Hawkeyes trailed 5-0 through two innings but a six run third inning gave them the lead. St. Thomas retook the lead in the fourth and led 8-7 after five. Iowa had its second six run inning in the sixth and led for the remainder of the contest scoring two in the seventh and eighth.

Four Hawkeyes had three RBIs in the game: Raider Tello (1-for-4), Davis Cop (2-for-5), Kyle Huckstorf (4-for-5) and Gable Mitchell (2-for-5).

Reese Moore and Connor Hennings each added an RBI for Iowa.

“I thought the offense was good,” said head coach Rick Heller. really. And I was happy with the bottom part of the order. They kind of got us going today. Maybe not so much with a lot of hits, but the Seeger’s was on base four times and scored four times. Will Mulflur did a good job. Gable and Connor Hennings both had good games. I was happy to see those guys spark us a little bit.”

12 different pitchers saw action in the midweek matchup. Jack Young, Reese Beuter and Chas Wheatley each had two strikeouts in the contest.

Aaron Savary threw 1 1/3 innings of hitless baseball and tallied one strikeout to earn the win. He improved to 3-0 on the season.

“Well, it was a rough start obviously,” said Heller. “We had some guys step up and slow things down, which was good to see. Beuter was good, Savary was good, Watts was good. It’s great to see Brant Hogue back out there. and he was confident, you could tell, and threw with good intent, and had a quality inning for us. Then Ben DeTaeye was good in a tough situation. But mixed in there were some really, rough ones, you know. And it’s kind of the way it’s gone at times this year. I’m really pleased with how the offense handled it when it fell behind us. There was no pressing.”

Iowa returns to action on Friday to start a three-game series in Columbus, Ohio, against Ohio State.
