IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Former Iowa quarterback Brad Banks headlines the latest class of athletes set to be inducted into the athletic department’s Hall of Fame. Banks was The Associated Press Player of the Year in 2002. He was also named the Davey O’Brien Award winner for leading the Hawkeyes to the Big Ten title.
Banks threw for 26 touchdowns that season as Iowa earned a berth in the Orange Bowl. Banks will be joined in the hall by fellow Hawkeyes football player Craig Clemons. Gymnast Sam Bailie, track star Jennifer Brower-McNutt, basketball standout Franthea Price and longtime women’s golf coach Diane Thomason will also be inducted on August 30 in Coralville, Iowa.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) – The Detroit Lions have claimed defensive back DeQuan Menzie off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions confirmed the move on Wednesday. Kansas City drafted Menzie last year in the fifth round and he didn’t play as a rookie because of a hip injury. He started 20 of 25 games over two seasons at Alabama.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free agent safeties Quintin Demps and Malcolm Bronson and released safety Justin Glenn and cornerback James Rogers. The Chiefs announced the moves before the start of Wednesday’s voluntary workout.
Demps played for new Chiefs coach Andy Reid while both were in Philadelphia from 2008-09, and spent the past three seasons with the Texans. The former fourth-round draft pick has 61 tackles, three interceptions and one fumble recovery in 48 career games. Bronson went undrafted out of McNeese State, where he made 230 tackles in 40 career games.
Glenn was trying to make the Chiefs after playing in 40 games over four seasons for the University of Washington. Rogers played in 46 games over four seasons at Michigan.
Games to be played Wednesday, May 22nd. Substate Semi-finals.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State says that Northern Illinois transfer Abdel Nader has signed with the Cyclones. Nader, a 6-foot-7 forward from Skokie, Ill., averaged 13.1 points and 5.6 rebounds a game for the Huskies as a sophomore last season. The Cyclones announced late Tuesday that Nader will sit out the 2013-14 season and have two years of eligibility left at Iowa State after that.
The addition of Nader should help the Cyclones fill the void star Melvin Ejim will leave when he graduates after next season. Nader was named first-team All-State by the Chicago Tribune as a senior for Niles North High in Illinois, and he made the MAC’s All-Freshman team at Northern Illinois.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Daniel Descalso hit his first career grand slam and had a career-high five RBIs, and Adam Wainwright won for the first time at Petco Park as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 10-2 Tuesday night. Descalso lined a 1-2 pitch from Anthony Bass into the Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Deck in right-center with one out in the eighth, his second homer of the season. Jon Jay was intentionally walked ahead of him. Descalso, hitting just .197 coming in, went 3 for 3 with a walk and scored three runs. Wainwright (6-3) held San Diego to one run and four hits in 7 1-3 innings, struck out six and walked one. San Diego’s Edinson Volquez (3-5) allowed five runs and eight hits in six innings, struck out five and walked one. He allowed four runs on six hits in the fifth.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are putting together an offensive system that promises to be bold and dynamic, if not downright revolutionary, a blend of old and new under coach Andy Reid. At least, that’s what it looks like on paper.
The Chiefs have hired former Vikings coach Brad Childress to be their “spread game analyst,” and the assumption is he’ll augment Reid’s traditional West Coast offense with elements of the spread that has been sweeping through the NFL the past few years.
Then there was the recent news that “pistol offense” guru Chris Ault would be joining the team as a consultant, adding yet another wrinkle.
