(Radio Iowa) — Training facilities and football offices may be shut down at Iowa State and Iowa but the recruiting season is in full swing. Both the Cyclones and Hawkeyes have reeled in several commitments from players entering their senior season of high school.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell who says they had many of the prospects on campus before the COVID-19 pandemic shut things down.

While many schools are offering virtual tours of campus Campbell says they have been focused on answering questions.

Not having recruits on campus this spring has had little impact on an Iowa class that has featured several high profile commitments in recent days.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says most of the recruiting is done via the phone.
