DK is also one of only two Big Ten players listed on USA Today's mid-season all-american team in this morning's paper.

Great article. That's two recruits, King and Wadley, whom our coaching staff went with based on connections and sources in the area rather than combine numbers. Tells you the coaching staff are building a network of people we trust and taking their advice over the prevailing wisdom. I heard another recruiter describe Iowa's recruiting as a sort of "Moneyball" approach, but this is actually the opposite in one sense. We're doing our homework and digging BENEATH the numbers.

Guessing that the same type of blindness will take place during the NFL draft and some team will get a steal of a defensive back.
