if you could get every kid isu wanted from one iowa high school ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
If I had to pick a CR school, it would probably be Xavier now, but before then it would have been either Washington or Kennedy. Pairie was always reasonably good, but never had stand out players like Wash. and Kennedy had.
Got a hot tip for the recruiters...I know a 3 year old in Solon with a f'ing cannon for an arm. I know...I took a squishy ball right to the face while mom was doing dishes tonight.
Haha I'm 22. I graduated with Keenan Davis and Wyatt Seuss. That team I think was 4th in the state two years in a row.
Oops i meant Cedar Falls. (Both red and black kitties) as for linn mar wasnt Iowa qb driscoll from linn mar?
Full disclosure, I coach at Dowling and I know we have had some pretty talented kids, especially as of late but I'm not sure we have the upper level D1 talent year in and year out that a Valley or Cedar Falls seem to have. Seems that lately Waukee has a pretty high level of talent at the top of their roster but suffer somewhat from depth. What I think we do have is a high amount of D2 kids sprinkled in with some D1's that make us competitive. What makes it fun for me to coach them is a bunch of great attitudes. I'm curious, from you guys that represent other schools, who they have on D1 rosters right now. I assume Ankeny, Valley, Bettendorf and City High have quite a few. Off the top of my head-
ISU-
Tyler Harmeyer
Ben Goaley
Ben Boesen
Iowa-
Tommy Gaul
Jon Wisnieski
Drew Zaun
Michigan-
Amara Darboh
Arizona St
Matt Haack
Notre Dame
Eric Lee
Western Ill
TJ Palme
Michael Palme
Connor Bravard was at UNI but is now at IWCC and I think will be the starter for them this year. Would not be surprised if he is playing FCS or on a roster at a BCS school next year.
Michael Hudson was playing for Army but transferred last year to Drake. We have a couple other guys there.
There are a few D1 prospects on our current roster that we'll try not to screw up too bad.

Valley sends a guy d1 more years than not. Hard to find another school in the state that does that consistently.
Also, guys from valley go JuCo and go d1 relatively often as well, more so recently.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if schools like Ankeny or Valley could recruit the way Dowling does, they'd have just as many (or more) graduates as Dowling playing at D1 schools.
I know for a fact that Valley "recruits" or at least they did when I went there a few years ago.
I had west as #2.. if it was all sports I would say #1. But city historically probably takes the cake still. That said West has at least 1 d1 football recruit every year and usually many more. I went to west we had 4 d-1 in my class alone and 10 in the building my senior year. Not to mention the many d2, naia and juco scholarship players as well as d3 folks.
Yeah...maybe influened by bball on my thought process but over time ames should produce. Though am struggling to think of many maybe if we merge gilbert with ames so we get the hoiberg boys 
also waukee is starting to move up.... maybe better than heelen and cedae falls I probably under ranked.
