Top 5 Big Ten 2026 recruiting classes

[TweeterHawk]

Iowa doesn't make the cut. We don't deserve nice things, apparently.

Developmental program, tho.

Iowa looks like it will end up with a top 20 national recruiting class. Perfectly acceptable.

 

[BunchofAholes]

Speculation, prediction and opinion is not fact.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

We don't quite have the ability to match funds.

Again guys, we only had 18 recruits. Our average grade per recruit was pretty ******* good

7th in the Big Ten with a small class, is actually pretty good.

Trailed USC, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, Washington and Illinois.

The top 4 we’re always going to be behind.

Washington and Illinois had more total commits.

As long as Iowa is top 20-30 we're good. Not gonna compete regularly with the big dogs and end up to p 15.

Anything 35ish and beyond is where we get in trouble

 

[AnonymousNolonger]

26th per on3

Typically don’t see us have almost as many 4 stars as 3 stars though. So that’s pretty good.

Lolol.. We've almost never had a top 5 class. 2005 probably. I think we were top 10 in the NCAA that year. It just got way harder adding Oregon, USC, and probably Washington to OSU, Michigan and most year PSU. Not this year though..

Simply do not have the money that those top schools have.
