Four 4x Iowa champs prior to Barry (Bob Steenlage, Jeff Kerber, Scott Morningstar, Joe Gibbons).

Seven 4x Iowa champs prior to Royce (Bob Steenlage, Jeff Kerber, Scott Morningstar, Joe Gibbons, Greg Randall, Mark Schwab, Dan Knight).

Did you have a point? Take a guess at how many of these 4xers I listed went on to win multiple NCAA titles along with Olympic and world medals..

So can you recruit an entire team off of Iowa 4xers?

Wrestling USA Magazine, which is about the only rankings I know of from back then.

Barry and Royce weren't even Iowa HS 4xers,

Royce Alger was a 3X HS champ and won a JR National Title.  He was one of the best recruits in the country.  I have nothing against Iowa and their program but hot damn their fans these days are living with fever pitch delusions

Lol one of the best recruits in the country according to who, exactly? It was certainly not the rankings, as I've already proven to you.

The fact you think Iowa'a recruiting even comes close to comparable to what we are seeing today at PSU just shows how delusion you are.

Guess how many #1 recruiting classes Gable had during his Iowa career? Oh shoot, I will just tell you. One. He had one top recruiting class while coaching at Iowa, but you guys are right, they were stockpiling all the best recruits just like Cael LOL.

You sent me a link with your "facts" and I can't find it. You can help me out or not.  Where on this link you provided can I find what you used to prove your point.  I'm not trolling.

You're right, the link isn't working now for some reason. Wrestling USA mag used Asics Boys teams (1986-today); prior to that, you will need to check Win's Dream Team which will go back to the 60s. This is the last piece of homework I am doing for you guys.

So who had the #1 recruiting class?  I still don't see it and don't want to dig thru all these links.  If you know, and you must cause you know who didn't, then just tell us.
