**CYVADER** · 12-14-2007, 08:29 AM

awesome news. looks to be a huge get for us. highest rated hs kid to sign with us so far...

**wheels686** · 12-14-2007, 08:36 AM

that is an awesome pickup. Glad we could get him. Maybe zaviar gooden (who lives in the same town) may consider us more. Darks looks like a really good saftey prospect

Huge huge get!!

I'll have to say we were pretty lucky but I'll take it!!

**isuforlife** · 12-14-2007, 08:59 AM

wow just what the doctor ordered ,he is a good one

**Aclone** · 12-14-2007, 09:38 AM

I was worried when we lost Marshall to those...gentlemen at KU, but Darks is a remarkable comeback, and a huge statement recruit for Chizik and his staff!

At least now it's easier to see who could be starting at safety in a couple of years--and there is quality depth right away. Does anyone else think that Tiller would make a remarkable safety? Oh--I probably shouldn't say that before he signs...

He has the same Rivals Rating (RR) as McDonough and Tiller--5.5.

Great pickup! Does he project as a corner? Seems small (right now) to play safety--20 lbs. under Land and Smith.

**wheels686** · 12-14-2007, 10:02 AM

anyone think we have any chance with zaviar gooden now?

**Aclone** · 12-14-2007, 10:05 AM

Gooden, with Anthony Lewis on the wish list? I like Land if he really runs a 4.41, but Gooden would pair nicely with Darks.

I think Lewis is off the list now. I heard him and the coaches didn't see eye to eye. Big ego.

Talk about great news...wow, this is an awesome get for ISU and don't want to brag...but, as i mentioned in my analysis earlier in the week, i thought we had an excellent chance with him after MSU signed the kid from Georgia...

Now, if we can get 2-3 of the following, i wouldnt need anything else for xmas, i would be really happy with this recruiting class and our secondary in the future...

Corner
Maurice Gray
Greg Brown
Cornelius Douglas
Leonard Johnson
Marcus Cromartie (i think he's back to solid for Wisc)
TerRan Benton
Demetrius Williamson

Safety
Kendrick Presley (i dont think we have a shot on him though)
Zavier Gooden
Kenji Jackson

Curious if its common that a lot of commits happen between now and x-mas so players have it done before the holidays and kids can discuss it/brag about it over the holidays with relatives etc etc.....i would expect a couple more commits before the holidays.....lets hope they're from the list above!!!!!
