It all started with the commitment of Deuce Hogan, a four-star quarterback from Texas who committed to the Iowa football program prior to playing his junior year of football. Since then, the talented recruits have been rolling in and rolling in quickly.
That’s not exactly common though.
Most Iowa football fans, by now, realize that Kirk Ferentz and his staff build their program differently than many other major college football programs. They aren’t as interested in “top recruits (as determined by ranking sites)”, instead choosing to focus on finding the right guys for the program. They want to find the guys who want to play Hawkeye football, and who want to do it the right way.
