Plus, hear from newcomers Jaidyn Coon, Ethan Harris and Illinois State transfer Ty'Reek Coleman as they discuss their development, what brought them to Iowa and the roles they hope to play this season.
Dolph also looks ahead to the Hawkeyes’ nonconference schedule and remembers Iowa legend and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Don Nelson, who passed away at age 86.
