IOWA FOOTBALL HOLDS JUNIOR DAY IN IOWA CITY

IOWA IS OFF TO A FAST START TO THE 2017 RECRUITING CLASS. Of course, it helps to land one of the biggest legacy recruits in Kirk Ferentz's tenure. It doesn't appear A.J. Epenensa made it to Iowa City yesterday but a lot of big prospects Iowa hopes to land did. There's several recruiting sites to get the latest news on the big event in Iowa City. Perhaps, the best to follow on Twitter is Rivals' Blair Sanderson. He lit up Twitter with some of the best from the day. Here's a tweetcap:
