Hawkeye seniors going out in style

IOWA CITY — Iowa’s 2005 recruiting class was, at least on paper, one of the most impressive hauls the Hawkeyes had ever brought in.
Iowa capitalized on a brilliant three-year stretch of 10-win seasons and January bowl trips by loading up on four- and five-star recruits. It was a rarity for the Hawkeyes, who are known for developing under-the-radar recruits, and many believed that class would position it atop the Big Ten for years to come.
The book will effectively close on the Class of 2005 this Saturday, when the 15th-ranked Hawkeyes (9-2, 5-2 Big Ten) celebrate Senior Day at Kinnick Stadium before hosting Minnesota (6-5, 3-4).
The remaining members of that class, many of whom are fifth-year seniors, have seen more up-and-downs than they would have expected — most notably a 12-13 record in 2006 and 200.
