Agreed. Plus we will be fully stocked up at slot WR anyways. Deshaunte is still young. Josh Johnson would be better suited in the slot but could play outside as well. Milton will be a slot guy. I think Galban will be a slot guy. Mitchell looks like a very legit QB.
So, some fans can watch that highlight reel and their primary response is, "He'd be great at WR."
I'm all-in with that, with a caveat — Is he allowed to throw to himself?

I'm not sure what people are looking at when they say he would be a great WR. The kid is a great quarterback. Yes, he's a little undersized but hell, so was Seneca Wallace. A lot of times you get a mobile quarterback like him and the first bit of pressure they immediately look to scramble. What I like about Re-al is that he keeps his eyes down the field and numerous times was smart enough to step up in the pocket. All while still trying to throw the ball first not run. His velocity on the 1, 3, 5, 7 outs is promising as well for a junior in high school. From the few interviews I've seen, he's a very bright kid too.
Count me in as a fan of Re-Al MItchell. This young man wants to be a Cyclone and is outspoken about bringing others with him. What is he, 17? And has this kind of desire for leadership? Bring me every football player you can find that has his level of talent, personality and will to succeed. I wish I had been this driven when I was that age. I can't wait to watch him from my SEZ seat!
With that kind of speed he just might be able to.
Seriously, though, why would anyone be concerned that we are getting too many QBs when the staff is essentially getting one per class? You need at minimum two who are ready to play at the Big 12 level and generally that is not a redshirt freshman so that means a soph, a junior and a senior. How often does ISU have a starting QB who goes the whole season without an injury that does (or should) make them miss a start? Do you want to go into the game(s) he misses without a second QB ready to step in behind that week's starter? And those numbers are assuming that every QB that comes in pans out, doesn't miss a whole season due to serious injury or transfer out. One QB per class should be the absolute minimum.
I would take a 6ft kid with heart and skill over a 6'4" guy without it every day. It's not like he's 5'3" and will be running around the field in Prince's lifts.
Plus this is college football, not the NFL. Plenty of ways to be a great QB in college. You don't have to be the "prototype" body and take 1,000 hits every year.
I will trust CMC that he's got a good one. At his point, Re-al is a Clone, and he's family now.

My makes-me-6'5" boots:I'm 6'-4" (6'-5" in the right shoes
Talk about kicking a guy when he is down and vulnerable. May your beer fridge lose power...
Just his mother was on American Gladiators. His father was on a competing show ... something with Knights in the title but I can't remember the exact title. His mother's contract was not renewed for dating him, is the scuttlebutt.
I don't know why people freak out when these threads get bumped. It's not that hard to read the thing before jumping to conclusions.
Didn't I read his Dad was USMC Force Recon? Those guys are the Marine Corps equivalent of the Navy Seals and the like, if I understand that correctly. Two power parents, unquestionably.
Sorry, there isn't any equivalent to Navy Seals from the Army, Airforce or Marines. Not that I could do any of those either. However, I did the pre-test for the seals when I was in the Navy. They literally tie your arms behind your back and feet together and make you bob (push off the bottom to come up and get air) in 10 feet of water. I visited Coronado Island in San Diego to see the training facilities. When I saw the hole they put you in that restricts your movement and cover you up. Right then I knew I was too big of a &:$$? to do that.
I thought the Army Rangers and Green Berets were kind of the equivalents? I know that's probably too much of an oversimplification
They all train together, the seals are just a more Flagship organization. The Isreali special forces are rumored to be the real BA's of the world. Probably holds a lot of water since that's where most special forces joint training assemblys are held.
As far as barbaric training goes, the Spetznaz or the North Korean special forces are rumored to be the most brutal. Spetznaz break you from emotional boundaries and the North Koreans practice body hardening, which if you haven't watched videos, it's not for the light of heart.
