I don't like Iowa's chances, but I'm curious as to why you think Nebraska and Iowa State are ahead of Iowa?

And what makes you think that?

What makes you say that???

Sorry, I had to join the crowd. Thanks for turning on the porch light and drawing all the moths.

I have never seen Darboh play. For thoes that have, just how good is he? How is his speed? Is he currently running Track? If so events and times please.

He seems to visit/want to visit Nebraska more than Iowa. He has friends going to ISU. It's all speculation, I'm sure Iowa fans can twist things in their way just like I did.

Sorry, just trying to get the scouting report on the kid.

How many words can he type per minute? Does he eat his recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables? What class does he have 3rd period?

No apology necessary, just giving you a hard time.

1. The kid has an offer from Florida so I would say he is pretty good.
2. He is said to have 4.4 speed
3. No idea.

A degree from ND isn't chopped liver. That place isn't crappy.

Very good speed. He's a receiver who I think could play any of the receiver spots on any team. If I were going to compare to someone on this time I think I would compare him to Money. Good speed but he's also big enough to play outside. In comparison to Adrian Arrington, he doesn't have the size but he has more speed. He's good player. I would much rather get him this year than have gotten French last year but that's just my opinion.

Also, I have to think that the top 5 or so prospects from Iowa talk to each other somewhat regularly so hopefully Hill is in his ear and Rogers ear. If we were to somehow get all three of those guys I would probably pass out.

He went to ND's spring game over Iowa's (same day). That alone should tell you how much he likes ND. He'll be a domer or Hawk. It would be a small miracle for ISU to beat Iowa for the #1 kid in the state.

Not worried about Iowa at all when it comes to Darboh to be honest.

Reviewing the Rivals state rankings since 2003 (the farthest they go back), here's a quick summary of the college choice of the top ranked Iowa player by year:

2003-ISU
2004-Michigan
2005-Iowa (Alex Kanellis, Iowa City)
2006-ISU (Arnaud, Ames)
2007-Iowa
2008-Missouri
2009-Michigan St
2010-Iowa (Derby, Iowa City)
2011-Oregon

Okay, so in 9 years Iowa has landed 3 of the top recruits and ISU 2. And of the three Iowa has gotten two have been from IC. In other words, of the seven that were not from IC the hoks have landed exactly one.

Yeah, it'd be a miracle if Darboh ended up at ISU!
