So ******* what.
Who gives a ******* flip about how many stars a recruit has as the final measure of talent. You will never admit it but CMC can pick and align talent as good as any coach in America. Harbaugh is about the worst at it. Ferentz is average.
The truth his, by any measure, ISU recruiting is on the rise -whether you measure it by stars, getting the talent needed that cycle, performance on the field - name the measure - but stop cherry picking individual cases that suit your sorry attempt at staying relevant.
Conversely, Iowa's recruiting is slowly starting to fade - but I am sure you will trot out some example of 1 kid that had some interest from a blue blood to counter that. The truth is - Iowa is getting supposedly better classes of recruits and will - wait for it - end up 2nd in the B1G west and and in a mediocre bowl - again.
So you tell me who the delusional, denying troll on the rivals fan site. I won't wait long, I know your answer.
But hey, its' spring, we might actually have a normal summer ahead of us - so hang around, make yourself feel a little better trying to hang onto whatever 'glory' hok football has had and wait for reality to smite you head this fall.
