Doh, sorry about that rpm, looks like I submitted the same article minutes after you.

Anyway, I thought this was pretty fascinating. Quite the tool for Kirk and co. to use on the recruiting trail. The analysis of the movement of recruits by star rating, they go more South and East as their rating increases, isn't exactly great news though.

I'll post back in two months when I'm done reading it.

It's among the better posts/articles I've ever read on an Hawkeye site, or for that matter, any college football site.

Deserves a big bump. It's not only great work it demonstrates exactly how successful Iowa has been in player development. Obviously, the greatest strength of the program. I know this site isn't about "pitching" the program, but it's certainly something all Hawkeye fans should be bringing to recruits and their parents and friends attention whenever possible.
