Man, has Iowa recruiting fallen off!
Their last class had 21 players. They had one 4-Star recruit, zero 3-Stars who were rated 5.7, 13 3-Stars who were rated 5.6 or 5.5 (mostly 5.5), and 7 2-Stars. That would have been John L Smith's worst class!
This year, they only 4 commits. Two of them are unrated players out of Detroit, one is a 2 Star RB from Wisconsin, and one is a 3 Star 5.5 rated player.
Meanwhile, Ferentz is one of the highest paid coaches in the B1G, with a very long contract. He hasn't done much on the field lately, and the talent he recruited 4 or 5 years ago is leaving for the NFL. What do you do if you are Iowa?
