Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery has added a front line player through the transfer portal. Former Valparaiso forward Ben Krikke announced via social media that he has committed to the Hawkeyes. The six-nine native of Edmonton led the Missouri Valley Conference in scoring this past season at nearly 19 and-a-half points per game and also registered nearly six rebounds per contest. He shot 55 percent from the field and has one year of eligibility remaining.

Iowa State basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger has added a guard from the transfer portal. Wofford guard Jackson Paveletzke announced via social media that he is transferring to Iowa State. As a freshman this past season the Wisconsin native averaged better than 15 points per game and nearly four assists. He also shot better than 39 percent from three point range. He was named the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year.

Iowa receiver Seth Anderson hopes to be one of the key pieces to an improved Hawkeye offense next season. Anderson transferred to Iowa after posting 42 catches and scoring seven touchdowns last season for Charleston Southern. He joins a receiver group that lost Keagan Johnson and Arland Bruce to the transfer portal last season.

After putting up big numbers last season Anderson wanted to see if he would get a chance at a higher level.

Anderson is out this spring with an injury but says he will be ready for fall practice.

The Hawkeyes close spring drills on April 22nd.
