The Iowa Hawkeyes are losing another player in the transfer portal, as guard Brock Harding has committed to TCU.

Harding appeared in 33 games, starting in 24, for the Hawkeyes during his sophomore campaign. He averaged 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Harding shot 45.4 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from three.

Harding joins a long list of Hawkeyes who have entered the transfer portal or committed elsewhere.

Former Iowa head coach Fran McCaffrey praised Harding's contribution last season.

“A lot of times he finds himself on the floor at the end of the game,” McCaffery said. “He’s tough. He’s smart. He has that ability to come back after a turnover — because he had a couple before that. When that shot left his hands, I think we all knew it was good.”

Harding led Iowa in steals per game, creating havoc as a defender while shooting at an efficient clip from behind the arc.

He is another significant loss for Iowa as new head coach Ben McCollum takes over and has to retool their roster. To replace Harding's production, McCollum will need to find a three-point shooter and defender.
