I haven't looked at any that are more recent yet, but I can't imagine any class being better. Members include (In order of star rankings according to Scout): 3 stars- Shonn Greene, Damian Sims, Adam Shada, Seth Olsen, Mitch King. 2 stars- Charles Godfrey, Andy Brodell, Bradley Fletcher, Matt Kroul. 1 star- Brandon Myers. That's a pretty loaded class right there. Arguably the best back in school history, the best pair of DT's in school history, 2 NFL starters in the secondary, one of the best lineman that Ferentz has ever coached, and the most underrated player at least since I started watching Iowa Football in Myers (I'm only 19, so I obviously can't offer up names from back in the day). 2005 ended up being alright for us, and it may end up being second, considering the contributions from Angerer, Moeaki, Richardson, Eubanks, Stross, and Calloway made for the past two seasons' success. But the 2004 class really set the foundation for what we're building right now, much like the 2001 seniors did for our 3-year run from 2002-2004.
