It was a busy early signing day on Wednesday for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Over the last several recruiting cycles, we’ve come to know and love Iowa for their approach to the early signing period wherein they have things largely wrapped up well in advance.
But this year was not like any prior years for a number of reasons. With the COVID pandemic locking things down during most class of ‘22 prospects’ junior seasons, the Hawkeyes were unable to get those preps on campus until they were heading into their senior seasons. Relationship building was strictly over the phone or via video calls.
