247Sports Recruiting Analyst impressed with Iowa’s Top-25 class for 2023
Kirk Ferentz and his Iowa program know how to develop mid-level talent by recruiting some of the most efficient players in the B1G.
Iowa is currently a big surprise in the recruiting top 25 for the 2023 recruiting class as 247Sports has them ranked 25th in the nation and 4th in the B1G.
“They love their process, they trust the process in terms of the guys they are bringing in around that program. I think they have done a really good job of the talent identification up front,” Andrew Ivins and Cooper Petagna of 247Sports highlight in a team evaluation.
"I think Iowa's process is awesome. They're sticking to it and it's not surprising to see them ranked where they are."
