QUICK OUT OF THE G8


Iowa has been speedy in their rush to fill the 2013 class.


Let's compare the Hawkeyes to their conference brethren.


IOWA = 8 commits.


INDIANA = 0 commits.

MINNESOTA = 1

NORTHWESTERN = 1

PURDUE = 1

WISCONSIN = 3

ILLINOIS = 5

NEBRASKA = 5

MICHIGAN STATE = 7

PENN STATE = 8

OHIO STATE = 13

MICHIGAN = 17

So there you have it.  Only 2 schools in the B1G have more commits than Iowa!  And honestly, I don't know if it's a positive to fill a class before they have even started their senior year.  You want to fill some scholarships with kids who have matured into something special as a senior.  It's nice to get kids who have shined as juniors/sophomores, but sometimes players peak early and you don't want to ignore the kids who show a 3 year improvement arc versus a 2 year improvement arc.  Overall the 2013 class is shaping up to maybe be Kirk's best ever!
