I believe this was a great class for the Iowa Hawkeyes. It will be interesting to see how these guys develop. Thats the one thing about Ferentz and Iowa is they are excellent at developing players. Just a few are Dallas Clark, Bob Sanders, Shonn Greene, and their is a bunch of former Hawks in the NFL on the offensive line that are doing great as well. The Hawks have turned Maryland into a pipeline for recruiting this year, which is great. The Hawks got Marcus Coker who is a 4 star recruit that fell for Iowa when Shonn Greene was their and Coker is built like Greene, and so lets hope he plays at that level too. Anthony Ferguson and Jim Poggi are the 2 others from Marlyand. Poggi is part of a group of linebackers coming in that appear to have potential to keep the great tradition of linebackers like Greenway, Hodge, Edds, and Angerer. I think CJ Fiedorowicz could play early in his career, he was a huge steal that is ranked as the number one Tight End in the nation by many and decommitted to Illinois to become a Hawkeye. AJ Derby is a Hometown kid that is a 4 star athlete that played QB and won the state title for Iowa City High and was being recruited by Florida. I always believe that its crucial that you get quality players from your territory, it would be a blow to the program to watch a 4 star leave Iowa City area to another school. Adrian Arrington did that several years ago being from Cedar Rapids and committed to Michigan over Iowa. All the high school accolades are over, you can throw all those stars out the window, these guys are part of the Iowa Hawkeye family now, and all those other things don't matter now. Its time to hit the weight room, the practice fields to prepare to be the best and to get to play in front of 70,000 fans at legendary Kinnick Stadium.
