Heller Podcast

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Worth the listen on here. They ask him about the draft, says Yacinich will get drafted. He also says Toole, Kuebel, Hibbing, and Radtke are all possibilities.

He mentions Joel Booker the Indian Hills recruit will be drafted. Says he could/would be an "impact" guy for Iowa. Says it's a bold statement but Booker would be the best athlete in the B1G. Sounds like he may be a high round draft pick if not this year then next which would mean one year at Iowa.

Anyways, it's great listening to Coach Heller, take a listen!

Another point is he talks about the four pitching injuries prior to the season. He says he inherited them and didn't know they were injured until he got here and they would've been a big part of the pitching.

Thanks for the heads up, definitely worth listening to. Booker's stats are pretty impressive, though hard to find. I'm a little surprised Heller is so confident in Yacinich's draft stock. He clearly has the size and plate discipline to play at the next level but I'm not sure he's a professional shortstop. Heller's glowing comments on Hickman have me very excited for next year. With the pitching rotation Iowa has coming back next season I wonder if he could slide into the weekend rotation with Peyton throwing midweek. That would be a salty group of starters.
