Cahokia Star player injured

[bluestreak]

I saw this kid play last year and he is REALLY good. I hadn't heard anything regarding him being recruited by Coach Miles, but apparently was injured at this summers camp at ISU.

I hope the fact that he was at our camp means he's interested in us. Sounds like he could play football and run track for us...

update on Cahokia star

Here is an update on Darien "Doc" Donald - according to the article in the Belleville News_Democrat he has been offered a scholarship to ISU. This Cahokia team is chock-full of good athletes,

He's coming in this weekend for an official visit. He can fly--47.5 400! It'd be great to get him (and others like him).

if this kid winds up at ISU Miles had better let him run track too, that is waaaaaay too much talent to use only for football!!!

new sycamore fan, can you tell us about this kid's visit to ISU this weekend and if he will be allowed to run track? (IF he even comes to ISU). The track team already lost Bryant Kent and Jeramie Gray to FB, I'd hate to see this kid come to ISU and not be able to use that 47.5 400 meter speed on the track too.

is this kid seriously considering ISU or is there no way he winds up in TH?

i am hearing that he has already verbled isu

i have heard reports that he has already verbally committed to the sycamores.

 

[new sycamore fan]

It would be great to get him for many reasons. Cahokia will have a great team next season, with 4-5 players that I would love to see come to ISU. Developing a pipeline to Cahokia and possibly E. St. Louis would bring some much needed speed and athleticism to the program.

isu used to get a lot of kids from the cahokia,

east st. louis, belleville area when raetz was the head coach. they recruited the st. louis, missouri and the east st. louis, illinois, areas very hard in those years.

So what position would he play at ISU?

 

[SydCamore]

Probably will play DB/WR/KR.

 

[new sycamore fan]

I heard he may get a look at QB (he was a 2 year starter at Cahokia at QB before his injury), but he'd have to have a lot of rust after sitting out this year. Probably DB, although he'd better like to hit and be hit because there will be some action there. My guy was beat up by the end of last season at DB.
