I read in another thread that many people feel like the current depth chart looks to be one of Iowa's weakest in quite a few years. That remains to be seen. I looked up each player's recruiting ranking (stars) and added them to the current depth chart and truth be told, if you go strictly by stars, it doesn't look that bad at all. It's not the greatest team that Iowa has ever had but I don't think this team is going to implode like some people think.There are a few holes but with the right coaching, this could be a good team.
