Darrell Wilson, Iowa
Buzz: On National Signing Day, Iowa recruiting coordinator Eric Johnson said, "If it wasn't for Coach Wilson, we wouldn't have a recruiting class this year." That's because seven of the Hawkeyes' 23 signees were brought in by the 10-year Iowa assistant, including three-star defensive tackle Darian Cooper, who chose the Hawkeyes over Georgia Tech, Michigan and Michigan State on signing day. What makes Wilson's performance more impressive is that all the recruits he brought in were from states nowhere near Iowa. Three were from Maryland, two were from Pennsylvania and he grabbed one each from New Jersey and Texas. New Jersey linebacker Quinton Alston and Pennsylvania defensive end John Raymon were among Wilson's other big gets in 2011.Wilson nearly pulled off the impossible - getting five-star offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio to take an official visit to Iowa City and keeping the Hawkeyes in his top group almost all the way to signing day.
