After bringing in school-record high recruiting classes in 2017 and 2018, Matt Campbell and his staff have brought in a 2019 class that has reset the bar for Iowa State University. Each of the past three seasons have eclipsed the 180 mark (the only three occurrences in school history) and each has been better than the last, culminating with this season’s 187.94 overall rating, which ranks 43rd in the country and 5th in the Big 12 (just a **tad*** behind Baylor, which sits in the middle of a prime recruiting area).
Undeniably, Cyclone football appears to be entering an unprecedented era of fans being able to drink themselves into oblivion out of joy instead of pain.
