I attribute our recruiting momentum to:

Wow...12 solid commits by June. I'm thinking its a combination of factors, but most notably:
1) Changes in staff, James and Lavar have to be pretty impressive on the recruiting trail.
2) Draft track record
3) New facilities
4) KOK's Departure
5) Tasmanian Kaz's Departure
6) Doyle, Doyle, and more Doyle

Gotta love this start...I think kids now have to get on board if they have Iowa in their top 2-3...this pace is impressive.

QB1's hunting bears in the off season should fit in there somewhere

Tasmanian Kaz (Made me laugh)! Just imagine him swirling around like a dervish with drool sloshing all over!

Funny thing...I was going to just put:

7) James Vandenburg - Who would pass up a chance to meet his mom?

I just hope hawk fans can be patient this year. Go hawks.

Good Football Topic

1. Draft track record & success at the next level.
2. Solid & stable program.
3. Doyle, Doyle & occasionally a bit too much Doyle.
4. New & enthusuastic staff.
5. Staff hitting the recruiting trail hard.
6. At this point Iowa's pro-style offense helps more than hurts.
7. Kaz no longer scaring away defensive linemen.
8. New Facilities.
9. Ron Zook no longer competing for Illinois recruits.

oh my, funny, but let it go. Its time to talk hawkeye football.

The young recruiters have to come off as really hungry and ready to go.

Greg Davis's track record?

The overall draft success at most positions except rb and wr.

Do defensive recruits see PParker playing more aggressive?

This post is invalid without a pic.

"7. Kaz no longer scaring away defensive linemen"

here' hoping that kaz scares a few away from Nebby.

I attribute it to Pro-Combat uniforms. Oh wait...

Yeah, I think this is probably the biggest draw, but what's going to happen after this year? Will she still hang around the clubhouse?

[WinOneThisCentury]

It's like a Frat House and their House Mom. I picture her sunbathing outside the New Facilities...or in front of the weight room.

I forgot one...our recruiting may be better because:

8) We've abandoned the "bend but don't break" defensive philosophy and will actually dictate to the offense what we are taking away. Hey, a guy can dream right?
