Have you actually looked at recruiting the last two years? You are completely wrong. We finished #30 in the team rankings last year, and this year alone we already have 2 four stars. Just because you beat us in triple OT this year, doesn't mean we are stagnant and you guys are on the rise. It means that you are better this year.
This is easy hawkadoodoo - Iowa is ranked 30th last year and nearly every year because they get quality talent to come to Iowa City - Period. The three biggest draws for Iowa football - 1. Iowa City 2. Zero coaching discipline 3. They put out a lot of very good to great pros.
Its simple, if your a 4* OL and want to go to the NFL and have a chance to play at Iowa or Wisconsin, you can bet its a good sign you will be drafted or invited to a camp.
However, there is case history even at Iowa that teams become stagnant, they recede in progression and ultimately free fall. No college is immune to it, if it can happen at schools like USC, Norte Dame, Ohio State and Miami, it can and will happen at Iowa too. Be careful with putting your beloved Hawkeyes too high on a pedestal. This new and improved Hawkeye passing attack is creating a new problem for hawkeye fans....a tired defense.....
Guess what - next loss this saturday when Persa runs his magic AGAIN over them.....
