Iowa Basketball Recruiting Chart

Hey Hawkeyes,
I used to keep up a NC State Basketball Recruiting Chart over at PackPride (the NC State Scout boards) which combined all the links and ratings from Scout, ESPN, and Rivals. It got difficult to maintain by hand, so I automated the process, and threw a basic UI together and put it up on the web. I did the same for all the other schools while I was automating it.
I started cleaning up the rosters on my fellow ACC teams first, and then moved on to the rest of the BCS conferences. My fellow ACC fans seemed to like it a lot, so I hope you will find it useful as well.
BTW, I haven't gotten to validating the active rosters for schools outside the BCS conferences yet, so that data will be inaccurate due to red-shirts, prep schools, junior colleges and transfers.
I'd also love to hear any suggestions you might have to improve the site as well; I'll try to implement them if I can keep my wife from leaving me for spending all my time working on this site.
Anyway, here is the Iowa page, let me know if you see any corrections, or have any questions. Hope you enjoy!

Sounds awesome, but I'm not seeing a link.

No such thing as a BCS school in basketball....
The Pac-12 in basketball is equivalent to the Sun-Belt for football....

True, I was just using it as shorthand to let people know which conferences I've completed. :-)

Thanks, "wolf" that's very helpful. Hey, Todd, how about a link to this page in the pull down menu at the top of the page?

I agree that this is a very helpful link, and I have no problem with it being posted here. However, we can't actually link to a site not affiliated with 247Sports on the pull down menu.

Perhaps "pinning" to the top of the board would be more what you wanted?

Don't think we can do that either.

Hey Hawkeyes,
In an attempt to get my mind off this afternoon's game, and any bodily harm I might inflict on an ACC referee, I decided I'd give you an update on the site:
For those of you who were having issues with the size of the chart being too large and having to scroll left to right, I've made a fix so that viewing the page should be easier with no scrolling.
The rankings are now in lock-step with ESPN, Scout and Rivals. I've now put in place a process that checks for new rankings nightly, so they should stay in sync. I've also added the change between the current rankings and the previous rankings for each player.
I've added a check for changes in the star value for each player's profile at Scout, Rivals and ESPN, so issues with the star values being "stale" for players should now be addressed.
I've added the team committed to for the player ranking pages, and addressed the issue where the 2013 rankings weren't showing up properly.
I've also added twitter profiles for every ranked recruit (overall or by position) that I could find for the classes of 2012 and 2013.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
I still need to address some issues with the color of links for light colored primary color teams (like Iowa) and colorblind disambiguation marks, but I thought I'd give you guys the updates.
