Ferentz says the process has stayed pretty much the same even though interest is at an all-time high.

Ferentz says attrition is the biggest enemy of the program and they need to find players who are committed for the long haul.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell signed a class of 26 players. One of the top prospects is wide receiver Josh Johnson from Little Rock, Arkansas.

Campbell says the class will boost the talent level as well as the culture of the program.
