Do you know how his name is pronounced? Hope we land him and he does well, especially vs Wisconsin.

Speaking of weirdly pronounced names....for an entire half in the Rutgers game, my wife thought they were saying "Ebola" instead of "Yeboah"

I thought they were pronouncing his name..."Ebola"... but I never did see his name on the jersey. You wife is on solid ground!

Even if offered, I think it's pretty safe to say he won't be going to Wisconsin.

At 6'5" and 310 lbs as a h.s. Junior, I can understand why Wisconsin wouldn't recruit him: a little small.

He sounds upset, which is good

Hmmm wonder why he’s putting it off. Did a new offer just come through?

I believe it's pronounced MAR-cuss.








His last name is pronounced "bo".

Probably got a call/reply from the Wisky recruiter who said "Come for a visit". Mbow talked to KF and Iowa staff about wanting to be sure and wanting to take another visit. KF probably told him take the visit before you commit to IOWA. Don't commit and then go to other visits. KF is big on loyalty and one's word on commitment.

$EC school called with a more lucrative offer?

He must be having a sleepover with Harbaugh.
