Ben McCollum shows up at the Iowa Hawk Nests tailgate for a Iowa Hawkeyes baseball game and throws out the honorary first pitch for Saturdays game on April 12.

The link below will send you to the video on the Hawk Central sports section of the Des Moines Register. You may have to put up with a short ad. Don't forget to 'click' on the volume. Good crowd shows up to get their picture taken with Coach Mac. Love it when he takes the mound.

Nice video. Looks like a natural at baseball.

The 4-star kid who commited to Iowa from Miami has re-entered the portal.

Isaiah Johnson-Arigu signed with St. Thomas…. Makes me think Ben wasn’t pushing too hard to keep him.

Iowa BearBullHawks question: Are Jesse or Xavier going to follow Ben to Iowa? Jesse’s X acct appears to indicate that but neither are shown as staff on the Hawkeye website as of today

This answers your question.

Good news-took quite some time to become official-contract negotiations?

[Alfred33]

Not bad for a guy who was coaching in Maryville a little over a year ago…

We saw Ben’s family at Mass today…probably in town for HS Graduation for Peyton’s old classmates

Any word on what Daniel, Isaiah, Mitch or Jaran are doing?

[Stanger86]

Isaia and Jaran are in Iowa City

[NWFanatic]

I spoke too soon-Jaran is now listed as Director of Scouting for Mac-no surprise that Mac brought him along too
