I think it’s more of Campbell being the hot coach nationally which is a double edge sword. Because of the negative recruiting I’m sure people are in the ears of recruits saying he will eventually leave but a good problem to have like KF in 04-05. Plus having a good season last year always helps. Thing is they aren’t landing top tier 4* minus 1 last class late getting players and doing better against schools like kstate, wvu, Minny, Michigan st, Colorado type etc. teams like Iowa competes against a lot for players like Keller who are high 3*. Be interesting if they land any big fish 4* in this class.
not sure how much Iowa’s issues played out with 2 LB they got. Both white and one I read was an isu fan. My 2 cents the biggest issue felt it even before the Riley-decker rumored comments is of one issue on a negative thing still hanging around the program from last summer is retention of BF. We all know Kirk will never fire him but I wouldnt be sad if he ever left for a MAC HC job or something. but one silver lining of that whole mess is really hinders his chances of replacing KF. But have heard plenty of posts here, stories from friends who coach HS football and for me from one individual who knows person in the program about BF being very arrogant and smug with an elitist attitude because of his last name.
