I think his dad is LaMont Hill a former ISU wr from Detroit? maybe. He played wr but was built like a RB.

I've seen this guy play firsthand and he is the real deal. I have no doubt in my mind that he could be an excellent Big 12 feature back. (I guess OU agrees...) If we can land him, that would be huge.

LaMont Hill is not his dad, but he is the real deal. I have heard that he is VERY interested in iowa state.

His dad was Johnny Hill RB from UNI.

Why do you think OU agrees--when they haven't offered him?

If OU is sniffing around Iowa for a recruit they must be pretty good.

It doesn't mean OU thinks he could be an excellent Big 12 feature back.

After watching his highlight video, I noticed he runs a lot like Stevie Hicks, very short steps which is great for change of direction but also very tall though the hole with high pads which means he must take a lot of big shots.

I thought the same thing. Not a big deal to me, it can be fixed.

I like his quick feet.

His video is weird to me. Sometimes he looks very fast and sometimes he doesn't. Maybe its just fatigue in some cases but it just seems inconsistent.

I've seen Barkley play several times. He is going to be a great back wherever he goes. He has size (6'0, about 200 pounds) and good field vision. Just as important: He hasn't had any character issues. Hope he makes the right choice.
