From 2005. It compares that year's recruiting class,which came after Iowa made a conference title run and won the Capital One Bowl, to the class Iowa signed in 1986, following their Rose Bowl appearance. Crazy similarities between what the two classes accomplished (to date).

Good find, jumper. It just drives home the point that you are dealing with 18 year old kids when recruiting. It is VERY easy to get excited when someone rates your recruiting class highly, but you have to keep in mind they are still kids, and the coaches can only take them so far. Much has to do with the desire and work put into it by the kids themselves. Thank God we have a staff that consistently gets the kids that are willing to put in the work, and that gives them a great chance to be successful.
