Iowa is involved with a pair of brothers in the transfer portal.

According to a report from CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein, Marquette transfers Joey and Sam Hauser plan on visiting Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan State, and Virginia.

As a junior, the 6-foot-8 Sam averaged 15.1 points and 7.2 rebounds a game while shooting 40 percent from three-point range. Joe averaged 9.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game as a freshman.

Sam will have to sit out one year before he can play one as he is not eligible as a grad transfer. Joey will have to sit out one year before he can have his three years of eligibility.

"We are thankful for all that Sam and Joey contributed to our program and University during their time at Marquette and wish them the best of luck in the future," head coach Steve Wojciechowski said in a statement after the Hauser's transferred. "We have a tremendous group of returning players and are extremely excited about the upcoming season and future of our program."

The Hauser brothers have some ties to Iowa.

Joe played AAU ball with Iowa freshman guard Joe Wieskamp as members of the Iowa Barnstormers. Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery recruited Joey in high school, but the younger Hauser ultimately elected to go to Marquette with his brother.

Coming out of high school, Sam was a four-star recruit and the No. 83 recruit in the class of 2016. He also held offers from Creighton, Virginia, and Iowa State among others.

As for Joey, he was a four-star recruit, and the No. 10 power forward in the class of 2018. He had offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Wisconsin among others.

The Hawkeyes have traditionally been a team that doesn't get involved in the transfer market but this makes sense for Iowa. McCaffery and his staff will need a big 2020 recruiting class since Jordan Bohannon, Isaiah Moss and Ryan Kriener will be graduating. The Hausers would take a lot of stress off McCaffery and add a big boost to the 2020 Iowa team.

Michigan State only has one scholarship available for 2020, so there would need to be some movement if they both wanted to attend Michigan State. Virginia is another team that will push for the Hausers. But 247Sports writer Jamie Oakes says that it wouldn't make sense for the Cavaliers.

"Regardless of their position, that would tie up two scholarship slots for next season as both Hauser brothers would be forced to sit due to NCAA transfer rules, which would leave just one scholarship left on the table to address UVA’s roster needs," Oakes wrote. "The reality is that UVA can’t afford to make a move for the Hausers and all it takes is one look at the perimeter players left on the roster."

It'll be interesting to see if McCaffery can reel in the pair of highly-touted transfers.
