YES!!! I've wanted him for so long. His story is absolutely amazing and it turned him into one heck of a kid. Also quite good at the "football"

Been sitting on this for a couple days. Amara almost held out until Wisconsin visited him on Monday, but decided to end the process today.

Just a heads up. I have a story waiting in the wings on a prospect you guys are very much in the race for. Could develop today. The kid may head elsewhere. Stay tuned.
Nice cryptic message earlier today. Good job Steve.

Here's a great story about everything Darboh's been through during his childhood.

Amara Darboh Survived Sierra Leone’s Civil War, Now Thrives in Football | TheSurvivorsClub.org

Amara Darboh was only 2-years-old when the war began in Sierra Leone and now in Des Moines, he has been given a second chance to thrive

Yeah, I'm not as critical and bitchy about Darboh as I once was.
He's kind of grown on me. Still like Payton better, but Darboh is a good replacement.

He will probably come in and make an instant impact, he has smooth speed and runs pretty good routes.
