Carskie said that football recruiting is going on right now. The identification process takes place between February 1 and May 1. He said the ISU coaching staff has called every high school in Iowa to ask coaches to recommend juniors who will be looked at for future recruitment. After May 1, the evaluation period starts. During this time, coaches are able to go off campus to advertise the Cyclone program.
Football coaches go to schools across the country to they evaluate players.
There are only 20 days in May in which the coaches are allowed to recruit off campus. Like the basketball squad, the football team also holds camps during the summer. There is a kicking camp, a padded camp and a one-day passing tournament. Seventy to 80 teams participate as the coaches evaluate players. Women's Basketball Coach Bill Fennelly said that his ballclub does not have an official recruiting period.
