Iowa has proven they have what it takes as a program to win the Big Ten and be competitive with the big dogs. Head coach Kirk Ferentz does not always work on getting the highest-rated recruits but instead focuses on the players in front of him.

Recruiting is so important in any sport, but with the world of college sports is ever-changing, especially with the House vs. NCAA settlement, it is important now more than ever. Ferentz does the recruiting he needs to, but he focuses more on the team in front of him.

However, Ferentz has a long history at Iowa and has shown he can make the Hawkeyes a winning team, even without the highest-rated recruits. He does, however, know how to take those recruits and make them into great players.

As news breaks for commits, targets, and flips, we’ll update this tracker.

All rankings are per 247 Sports Composites
